The pork industry is calling for more clarity around 'country of origin' labelling when it comes to their products, but the Government won't make any changes. Plenty of Kiwi shoppers think they're buying locally sourced bacon, pork, or ham - but that's often not the case. NZPork chief executive Brent Kleiss says these products can be labelled, but it's often on the back of the packaging in small lettering and the rest of the marketing can be misleading. "What we'd really like to see is a bit of a change to make it much easier for consumers to know where their bacon and ham that they're purchasing actually comes from."

The ACT party wants to allow people to make tax-free profits from cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, as long as they hold onto it for more than a year.

There's a fork in the road of the National Party, as speculation looms around the Prime Minister's leadership. Christopher Luxon's called an urgent in-person caucus meeting tomorrow morning to resolve the issue quickly. In a post online, Luxon says it's a major distraction 90 days out from an election - and unfair to the New Zealand people and National's supporters. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says a change at the top could increase the public's perception of disunity.
