InvestingFisher Funds loses $80m in bank collapse – just the start of the hit to KiwiSaversA Newsroom investigation shows the well-known funds manager had gone big on Signature Bank – money it will never see again. The big North Shore-based funds manager Fisher Funds had gone big on Signature Bank before its failure this week – that's about $80 million it will never see again. Gardyne says Fisher Funds had reduced its Signature Bank holdings since the last disclosure statements in October; KiwiSaver funds shouldn’t have more than 0.6 percent exposure now. He argues that funds managers are quasi-public institutions, because they are responsible for managing government-backed KiwiSaver funds. “I don’t think Fisher Funds had done anything markedly different, so they haven’t lost my trust at this point.

Beyond Plastics, a project to end plastic pollution, released a short documentary featuring the stories of East Palestine, Ohio, residents after their lives were upended by a derailed train spilling toxic chemicals into their community. The video, made by independent filmmaker Arman Dzidzovic, also features Dr. Terry Collins, a Carnegie Mellon University professor, who talks about the health risks from burning vinyl chloride, and Judith Enck, Beyond Plastics president and former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator under President Obama, who calls on the EPA to ban vinyl chloride. Vinyl chloride was deemed a cancer-causing chemical in 1974 and banned in some products, but it remains widely used in drinking water pipes, building materials, some packaging and children’s toys. When burned, dioxins and other highly toxic chemicals are released. Watch the video above and visit Beyond Plastics, where you can learn more about the dangers of vinyl chloride and sign their petition to ban the chemical.

Legendary Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua has called for a change to the contact rules in the game to ensure players are safe and games are clean. Taurua believes any head-high contact should see the perpetrator removed from the game, to help protect players from head and neck injuries. “I would definitely put across anything that’s head high should be an automatic taken off the court,” she told nzherald.co.nz. In the AFL case players are seeking compensation for pain and suffering, economic loss and medical expenses due to head injuries. A similar class action in the United States brought by former NFL players resulted in an initial payout of more than US$1 billion.

When you fork out the kind of money you need to in order to fly business class, you expect to get exactly what you pay for. But a New Zealand man says he and his wife did not – and was compensated for the subpar experience. Morgan told the tribunal the Dubai-based carrier had even sent a photo of the business class seats onboard the newer planes after he had bought his ticket. “Emirates advertised a business class service that consumers were very unlikely to receive,” Disputes Tribunal referee Laura Mueller stated. “The advertising of a service that Emirates knew would unlikely be delivered is misleading and deceptive,” she remarked.

A day prior to the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championship beginning in New Delhi, the president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) Umar Kremlev continued his war of words with the International Olympic Committee about the Olympic qualifiers ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The premier organisation of boxing was suspended in 2019 by the IOC and the Tokyo Olympics qualification was handled by the Olympic committee itself. We are sure that all the boxers who support IBA will not participate in any other competitions organised by other organisations. “If the IOC wants boxing to be present at the Olympics, they need to cooperate with us, according to our constitution,” said Kremlev later in the conference. They’ve got to make an emphatic statement very soon … they’ve encouraged us to do everything we’re doing and advised us, but they could help more.”It didn’t take Kremlev long to swat away at the hint of a threat from a rival boxing federation’s plan to host its own World Boxing Championships.

That extra water vapour tends to fall out as extra rain, but it also provides extra energy to a storm. As the climate continues to change, storm intensity is likely to increase on average, as sea levels continue to rise. An ex-tropical cyclone like Gabrielle, moving over very warm water, can pack a devastating punch. That itself is partly related to the ongoing La Niña event in the tropical Pacific, which tends to pile up warm water (and tropical cyclones) in the west. Warmer seas load the atmosphere with water vapour.

But during a recent performance on a Royal Caribbean cruise, audience members weren’t the only ones left in shock during his act — so was Murphy when an unruly passenger allegedly assaulted him onstage. In it, the Australian TV host and popular magician sits on the edge of the stage performing a trick with a female volunteer from the audience. Glad magician Ben Murphy is ok. Haven’t been able to find how/if Royal Caribbean addressed the pax, but agree with Murphy: their vacation should have ended instantly. #cruisenewshttps://t.co/Aj3Xh9muIm — This Cruise Life (@thiscruiselife) March 14, 2023Magician Ben Murphy attacked on Royal Caribbean cruise – NZ Herald, 12 Mar 2023 #RCCL https://t.co/5oU2xhsbpdAn Australian magician has shared horrifying footage of the moment he was brutally attacked during a live show on a Royal Caribbean cruise. — Cruise Headlines (@cruiseheadlines) March 12, 2023Though the assailant has not been named publicly (nor has the female volunteer), Murphy told 7News that the incident wouldn’t be easy to forget.

In the event, it reported CPI inflation running at 6.0%, the rate markets were expecting and down from 6.4% in January. Despite easing inflation pressures, their retail impulse can't keep up with retail inflation, so retail volumes keep sliding. As we noted yesterday, we are keeping an eye on global investment bank Credit Suisse whose share price has fallen sharply. The bank said overnight that withdrawals had continued into this month, even after it started a huge campaign to win back client confidence. The bitcoin price is much higher again today and is now at US$25,668 and up another +7.0% from this time yesterday.
