ANZ has declined a proposed settlement by lawyers leading a massive class action against the bank for giving customers the wrong information about their loans. The lawyers asked ANZ to agree to pay a penalty of up to $300 million, on top of the $35 million it has already paid more than 100,000 customers to compensate them for the error. ASB, which is also subject to the class action, is yet to respond to the proposal for it to also make a payment of up to $300 million.

Career Sponsorship has become critical to women's advancement to leadership. Today, we are discussing the behaviours and actions the most exceptional Sponsors are taking to ensure more talented women are promoted to leadership.Systemic bias means that men are exposed to opportunities in their careers more readily than their female peers are. Career Sponsors are needed to address that imbalance. Sponsors are influential leaders within an organisation, who believe in the moral and commercial importance of inclusion, equity and diversity of thought. They are proactive advocates of the talented women they sponsor.In this episode I am taking you through 3 of the most effective ways a Career Sponsor can help support, and fast track women through the pipeline - they are necessary catalysts to create change faster.Something Rebecca said today:"A career sponsor actively seeks out opportunities for their sponsee. Sponsors are the trailblazers of 2025, taking personal responsibility to be part of the equity solution."

The Reserve Bank's expected to press pause on the Official Cash Rate this afternoon, but that's not it's only option. The OCR's sitting at 3.2% after six consecutive rates reductions since last August. Mortgage rates have followed it down over that time, falling to about 5%. ANZ Chief economist Sharon Zollner told Andrew Dickens a 25-basis-point cut wouldn't be a bad idea, given GDP may have gone backwards. She says that more than offsets the fact that GDP in the first three months was stronger than expected. Zollner says it matters quite a bit that momentum's flagging at the moment.

SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with Benjamin Picton from Rabobank Australia, Adelaide Timbrell from ANZ and Luke McMillan from Ophir Asset Management to preview the July RBA interest rate decision.
Iwi-owned commercial entities have outperformed some of New Zealand's largest listed companies. ANZ's annual Te Tirohanga Whanui report shows the entities emerged from the economic downturn in good shape, faring better on a return on assets basis. Waikato-Tainui's among the strong performers, having a balance sheet of $1.9 billion. Māori Development Minister Tama Potaka told Heather Du Plessis-Allan there are some reasons behind the uplift. He says many iwi and Māori businesses are land and people based, they have low debt levels, and are often generational players. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Iwi-owned entities have emerged in good shape following the country's economic downturn. ANZ's annual Te Tirohanga Whanui report reveals iwi surveyed saw asset values grow a median 4.1% in the 2023-2024 year. Auckland University Professor of Māori Management Jason Mika told Andrew Dickens iwi have focused on being prudent when it comes to treaty settlements. He says they only get one shot, so they're doing all they can to be careful while also being innovative with how they manage these assets.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news we are now halfway through 2025, closer to the next summer holiday break than the last one. We may need it more this time because economic 'progress' is hard to find.Looking ahead this week, the big end of month data dumps for May from the RBNZ will give us an updated look at mortgage and term deposit activity. The ANZ will also update us on their business sentiment survey for June. Then later in the week the June updates from the real estate industry will be released.In Australia it will also be about retail and trade updates for May.The week end with the US on another summer holiday break, this one for their Independence Day. Their June labour market report will come a day earlier this week (another low +129,000 is expected), preceded by PMI updates from all over. Markets also expect the US to announce tariff actions after the so-called 90 day pause. But Trump deadlines mean little in war and other diplomatic areas so don't be surprised if they mean little here too. He will go head if they don't hurt his own businesses, pull back if they do.Of more importance to us will be the results of both Chinese and Japanese data and surveys.In China, deflationary pressures not helped by the tariff war are keeping China's industrial profits in a low zone. They barely hit ¥600 bln in May and that was their lowest level for a May month since 2019 and -9.1% lower than May 2024. For the five months they were down -1.1% so the pace of decline is unfortunately building.Across the Pacific in the US, the squeeze on American household incomes shows up in the latest data for personal incomes and spending, this data for May. Incomes were only +1.7% higher than a year ago. Decreases in income support for struggling households is showing up in this data. And after inflation, they will be going backwards on the income front. On the consumption front, spending was up +2.2% from a year ago, also lower than the May 2.4% CPI inflation.This is a sure sign of rising economic stress that is spreading.The final reading of the University of Michigan survey of June consumer sentiment was out overnight and it confirmed the spreading household stress. This survey has been stuck at one of its worst readings on record for two months after plunging almost -30% in the first four months of 2025. Over the 80 years of the survey, a drop this large this fast has almost always predicted a recession. Sentiment readings improved slightly at the start of June but were -18% lower than at the start of the year to indicate Americans expect much higher prices and a much slower economy in the coming year. It should be no surprise this is the outcome of the changed US public policy direction - but the financial markets are ignoring this signal; willfully it seems.They seem to be overlooking these same survey results that show sentiment has fallen fastest this year for the most well-off consumers, whose post-pandemic spending spree helped insulate the American economy from recession then.

Ob im Laden, im Leben oder bei 120 Dezibel – Kommunikation entscheidet. In dieser Folge geht's um Wirkung, Verantwortung und den Unterschied zwischen Blitz und Glühwürmchen. Ein bisschen zu laut, ein bisschen zu direkt, ein bisschen zu viel Bling-Bling – und zack, ist aus guter Stimmung plötzlich kalter Krieg. In dieser Folge: Warum ein falscher Satz Kunden, Nachbarn und Beziehungen killen kann – und wie du's besser machst. Wieso Alex schon viermal den Führerschein losgeworden ist (und trotzdem keine Blasenpflaster braucht). Warum Zündkerzen, Anzüge und Maßschneiderei auch was mit Sales zu tun haben. Und wie du aus Beschwerden begeisterte Fans machst – wenn du den Mut hast, dich zu zeigen. Ehrlich, laut, herzlich. Vertrieb mit Haltung – und ein paar richtig guten Schuhen.

Do you have a tendency to say YES - or saying nothing at all - when really, you want to say NO? Today I am exploring 6 different scenarios where you might need to say 'No!' more often in your career!I am sharing some powerful reframes so that you can say 'no', without having to say 'no' at all!We are talking too about how saying 'no' can result in huge benefits to you, as well as greater ROI for your organisation! Pushing back, and saying 'no', has never been easier! I'll see you inside!Something I said today:"Saying 'No' can be presented in lots of different ways to make it more palatable. For example, you can say, "Look, I don't agree with this" or 'I think we need to take a step back and discuss this more" or "I feel like this is the wrong decision to take, can we look at this again? Working on reframes like this can make it extremely easy to push back and say 'no'."

New Zealand's largest bank is lending less cash to businesses than it was half a decade ago. Figures from the Reserve Bank show a softening across all bank business lending since the pandemic, with ANZ the only one going backwards. The overall growth rate across all banks has slowed to just 1.5%, down from 6% in 2013. ANZ CEO Antonia Watson told Mike Hosking much of the drop is caused by a decrease in lending to commercial property. She says their decision was to support their existing customers through rising interest rates and tougher circumstances as opposed to taking on new customers. However, she confirmed the bank is back to taking on new customers. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does your organisation struggle to retain high-potential female talent without knowing why? Today I am looking at 5 key reasons organisations struggle to retain key female talent mid-career. We are discussing:Culture, inclusion and belongingTransparency - this is a biggie!Active sponsorshipLeadership developmentLet's be really honest about the barriers women are facing on a day-to-day basis and start taking measurable action towards creating more enriching careers for women.Something I said today:"Women must be made aware when internal roles are opening up for application. Too often they are not made equally aware of potential opportunities and so can't apply. This has a compound impact: not only do they not even have the opportunity to present themselves as a potential candidate, their exclusion can lead to them doubting the support they have in the organisation which can then also diminish their confidence and sense of belonging further."

In Lermoos in den Tiroler Alpen gibt es einmal im Jahr ein großes Ereignis. Zur Sommersonnenwende erleuchten, wenn es dunkel wird, viele unterschiedliche Bilder auf den Bergen. In diesem Jahr hat das Bergfeuer-Team um Sascha Fasser etwas ganz besonderes vor: Maus und Elefant als riesiges Bergfeuermotiv – 198 Meter lang, 75 Meter breit und bestehend aus 1.025 Lichtern. So ein großes Bild muss sorgfältig geplant werden und ganz schön viele Kerzen braucht man dafür auch… Im zweiten Teil der Sachgeschichte muss das Motiv am Hang gesteckt werden: Mit einem Seil zeichnet das Team zuerst die Konturen von Maus und Elefant, bis schließlich die Lichter ausgelegt werden. Jetzt steht alles bereit für das große Anzünden am Abend – ob es dem Bergfeuer-Team wirklich gelungen ist, dieses riesige Motiv auf den Berg zu zaubern?

In episode 821 of the QAV Podcast, Cameron and Tony kick things off with tales of gas outages and cold showers before diving into the markets. They review the portfolio performance, explain the HLS sell-off, and unpack the latest antics of Donald Trump's tariff diplomacy. Stocks under the spotlight include VVA (Viva Leisure) with their eyebrow-raising stake in Gorilla X Labs, NRW's legal wrangle over the Whyalla port, and a deep-dive pulled pork on ANZ.

Sprinkle in some talk about robot security Roombas, the legacy of Damien Broderick, Sparks' new album, and Japanese punk, and you've got another vintage QAV session.

Coaching is the ideal partnership to help you become more strategic and chase down only THE BEST opportunities for you and your career.Too often people are lost in their careers, working extremely hard and delivering phenomenal results - but without getting the return for themselves.

That objective review will take you out of the weeds and the DOING of your career... and into the strategic control seat. And then - AND ONLY THEN - will you start getting the promotions and opportunities you deserve!Something I said today:"A coach is skilled to hold space for you and help you challenge whether what you're doing right now is indeed the right path to be on."

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with mortgage expert Eva Loisance from Finni Mortgages to discuss the latest Reserve Bank of Australia rate cut and how it will reshape the property market for investors. Central Australian banks, including NAB, CBA and ANZ, have announced a 0.25 per cent interest rate cut, potentially saving mortgage holders around $208 to $209 monthly. Eva noted the cut could boost borrowing capacity by $12,000 to $50,000, allowing buyers to target previously unaffordable properties, though high-income earners may benefit less due to the effects of negative gearing. While the lower rates offer relief, Phil and Eva cautioned that rising demand could increase property prices, undermining affordability. For investors, the current environment may present an opportunity to grow portfolios and build equity as values increase. Eva also highlighted refinancing as a key way to unlock further savings, especially for borrowers who haven't reviewed their loans in over a year. Although the near-term outlook is favourable, Eva said the long-term impact will hinge on future rate movements and broader economic trends.

In this episode of QAV Australia, Cam and Tony navigate a turbulent market buoyed by a temporary rollback in US-China tariffs and a curious rally in Bitcoin. They break down the movements in gold stocks like Perseus (PRU), Ramelius (RMS), and West African Resources (WAF), unpack ANZ's (ANZ) CEO handover and the impact of its Suncorp acquisition, and look into Super Retail Group's (SUL) Q3 results. The episode also features deep dives into the governance concerns at Macquarie (MQG), a bizarrely massive dividend from Healius (HLS), a skeptical look at luxury drop shipper Cettire (CTT), and a pulled pork segment on outdoor advertising player oOh!media (OML). Cam also shares a personal health win, and the duo wraps up with some recommendations, banter, and a little Van Halen nostalgia.
