Wet days could get 10 percent wetter and the driest group of days 10 percent drier even in places where previous modelling has shown no change to average yearly rainfall. Wetter wet days mean more chance of flooding. The timing of those heavier rain days also becomes important. There were already multiple lines of evidence showing wet days would get wetter in New Zealand, Harrington said. The drier dry days affected some of country's most prominent farming areas, including the middle of the North Island down to Wairarapa, he said.

More than 35% of homes listed for sale in Auckland and Northland are subsequently withdrawn from sale, one economist says. He took the number of properties listed in a month, compared to the number sold and the overall number of houses listed for sale. "That suggests over 45% of properties listed for sale are eventually pulled from the market." That covers properties withdrawn between March and May in each year. Trade Me said the median days properties were listed on its site increased to 68 days for May, which was an increase of six days from April.

Eight regions had annual stock increases above 30% and none had less stock for sale compared to a year ago. The above figures suggest the market remains firmly in buyers' favour, which is also being reflected in average asking prices on the website which have been tumbling since March. The national average asking price, non-seasonally adjusted, for properties advertised on Realestate.co.nz has declined for the last four consecutive months and was $837,241 in June. The average asking price in Auckland is now perilously close to dipping under $1 million. However the slide in asking prices does have a silver lining.

Another week, and another seemingly hair-raising security issue crops up: this time it's a vulnerability affecting a common application millions of people use for remote access over networks, namely OpenSSH. Except a bug has been found that potentially makes the remote access tool potentially a lot less secure. As per infosec industry custom, the critical bug was given a snazzy logo and a catchy name by Qualys: regreSSHion. #regreSSHion #CVE20246387 — Faisal (@faisalusuf) July 1, 2024Cutting to the chase, if an attacker is successful in exploiting the regreSSHion bug, it opens up the target system completely. Qualys said attackers can get root access; this is the highest level of privilege for an account on UNIX-like systems.

But almost seven years later she is living a “nightmare” - still waiting for authorities to make a formal ruling on what caused Isabella’s death - and if anyone will be held accountable. Initially, it was thought that the syndrome and prematurity combined were at the root of Isabella’s health issues. “I was originally told Isabella had a grade four [severe] brain haemorrhage - I was told this while being shown brain scans,” she told the Herald. Isabella's mother is confused by the cause of death listed - as it is at odds with an expert report. The Coroner will also look into Isabella’s death - but cannot begin that process until the HDC work is complete.

Someone who’s almost synonymous with Mitre 10 Mega Queenstown is retail manager Marlene Crimp, who’s been with the company for almost 31 years. One such is Marlene Crimp, retail manager for one of the town’s largest stores, Mitre 10 Mega, who joined the original H&J’s Mitre 10 in 1993. She married Ray Crimp in Nelson in 1978; they bought a house in nearby Brightwater and raised two sons, Phillip and Matthew. In 1997 the store manager left and she took over, then was initially retail manager when the much larger Mitre 10 set up in Remarkables Park in 2000. Her title reverted to store manager in 2007, but she’s been retail manager since Mitre 10 Mega opened in 2015.

Barfoot & Thompson's June sales slumped to a 14 year low, while the amount of stock for sale on the real estate agency's books hit a 14-year high. That's down 26% from the 916 it sold in May, and is the lowest number of sales Barfoot & Thompson has achieved in the month of June since 2010. The combination of declining sales running at a 14 year low, while new listings and total stock levels remain elevated, suggests the Auckland market is likely to remain extremely subdued over winter. Barfoot's median selling price in June was $1,020,000. Barfoot's average selling price in June was $1,236,336, the highest it has been since December 2021.

In one sense, Tolich, the managing director of Stuff Digital, is merely stating the obvious. “We’ve actually been working really hard over the last few months in terms of finding that balance,” says Tolich. “But also you’ll see brilliant journalists from around New Zealand, who are in the Stuff stable,” says Tolich. The final broadcast of Newshub Live with Mike McRoberts and Samantha Hayes is on Friday, July 5.

The New Zealand economy likely contracted in the June quarter as demand weakened and businesses laid off staff, the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) says. Christina Leung, the research firm’s deputy chief executive, said the survey data suggested there would be another quarter of economic contraction this year -- likely in the June quarter. During 2021 and 2022, a majority of firms reported the labour shortage was the biggest constraint on their trading activity. “The easing in these indicators suggests higher interest rates are continue to gain traction in reining in inflation in the New Zealand economy”. Across the entire survey, a net 23% of firms reported increasing prices during the quarter but that number has fallen dramatically from a net 70% a year ago.

"I've been surprised how much cash people still have, actually, because I don't use it anymore." Photo: AFPDespite that, Susan Guthrie from the Reserve Bank said New Zealand currently had $9 billion in cash. "Having a sign that says 'we don't have cash on the premises' is sort of a deterrent in itself." About one in every 50 customers would come in with cash and no alternative way to pay, he said.
