The headlines of the day by The Indian Express

Economist Sinéad O’Sullivan wrote a piece in today’s Irish Times about the State’s approach to speed limit reviews on our roads. She was critical of the Government approach of leaving it to each local authority to carry out submissions rather than introducing default limits on particular types and locations of roads. Jerry spoke to Anluan Dunne from Tralee who made a submission to Kerry County Council and whose observations are referenced in the article.

Tonight on The Huddle, Wellington Mornings host Nick Mills and Jack Tame from ZB's Saturday Mornings and Q&A joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! There's growing speculation about Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick potentially becoming Finance Minister, despite Labour ruling this out if they win. Did the Greens overplay their hand by asking for this? Speaking of which, a Dutch environmental group recently claimed New Zealand is breaching climate obligations in our EU Free Trade agreement with actions like reversing the ban on oil and gas exploration. Is this a valid point of concern? Do we think the Government is walking away from making changes to NZ Super? Does the Chateau Tongariro need to go?

Stephen Grootes speaks to Bronwyn Williams, Retail Analyst, about Shein’s shrinking profit margin and its move towards higher-priced clothing. When Shein entered South Africa, there were fears its ultra-cheap fast fashion model would seriously disrupt local clothing retailers. But that hasn’t happened to the extent many expected. What protected local retailers, and does Shein’s latest strategy suggest the limits of the ultra-cheap fast fashion model are now becoming clearer? In other interviews, John Loos, Independent Economist talks about the sharp fuel price increases expected in October and whether government should step in to cushion motorists and the wider economy. Current projections point to petrol rising by around R3 a litre, potentially pushing 95 unleaded close to R30 a litre inland, while diesel could also rise by more than R3.

I'm no fan of the current Government. In fact, I'm no fan of any of the political parties at the moment. That said, you've got to give the current lot credit for what we saw in yesterday's Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update (PREFU). Is it enough for them to get another term? I'll tell you what I think shortly. But the overarching result is that the government's finances are better than expected. The books could be out of the red a year earlier than forecast. With a $4 billion surplus, $1.5 billion higher than was forecast just a few months ago, expected within three years. When I first heard those numbers, I thought, “Why would you change course now?” For me, there is a lot not to like about the current government. Despite what it says, I think it has a general disdain for people who are down on their luck. ACT, especially. And that doesn't sit well with me. Then there's all the culture war nonsense pushed by NZ First. Making English an official language. Laws to define what a woman is. Proving you're Kiwi enough to live here. So there's a long list of all the things I don't like about the current government. But you've got to give them credit for the state of the books. So do I think they deserve another term? Based on yesterday's results, I would say yes. Reluctantly. But there's another reason too. I think Labour has blown it and doesn't deserve to be back in government. I've got no idea what they've been doing these last three years. It seems that Chris Hipkins thinks all he has to do is start swearing in speeches and get fired up during interviews and he'll be Prime Minister again. He's dreaming. And the state of The Government's books could be the final straw. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earlier this year the government gave councils a three month deadline to submit plans to simplify and reform, or it would make plans for them. But that's changed, with the local government minister deferring decisions until after the election. Ellen O'Dwyer reports.

Andrew Little had a good crack at the Government over council amalgamation. He got interrupted by an alarm but made his point and his disappointment is well-founded. My major criticism of this Government is they said a lot of stuff they simply didn't deliver on. Someone like Luxon would argue it's aspirational and it's better to fall short trying hard than not try at all. Little is rightly ropeable about council amalgamation being delayed until after the election. If the Government flips of course, it will never happen at all. Maybe, given the submissions made by various councils against the plan, that was what they wanted all along: stall until it's possibly too late. "Unleashed chaos" was a good line he used. But then it was a good policy. We are hopelessly over-counselled in this country and too many of them are run by a collection of knobs. They're well-meaning I'm sure, but complacency and mediocrity litter the council landscape. The fewer of them the better. Some got on with it and formed groups. Some kind of had a crack and some outright refused and you knew they were holding out until the bitter end. But like all top-down restructuring, it causes time, energy, and money to be spent on things that, as it turns out, might be off, which is an irony given wastage was one of the reasons the idea was being proffered in the first place. I like Little. He walks a fairly decent line between being a Labour wonk and a council representative, but also a guy with vast experience who plays the game and is professional with it. So when he says this is poor form he means it, and I believe him, and he is right. From 500 police that didn't happen, to the reviews that never got to Cabinet, to the LNG deal that's run out of time, to council amalgamation that wasted a lot of hours, this Government wasn't quite as sharp at delivery as they might have led you to believe when they showed you the tin. It won't switch any votes. But you would want to hope for a slicker, more well-oiled machine after November 7th. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Raw Politics podcast: Are dirty politics happening before our eyes? Bouquets and brickbats for Parliament; and the Hager book assessed How big a deal for voters is the latest string of misleading, dirty and sometimes AI-generated attacks from across the political spectrum? And might they backfire? Today, the Raw Politics panel discusses false claims, out-of-context footage, AI slop and campaign disinformation which is happening even before we get into the official election campaign period Join senior political reporter Marc Daalder and associate editor Sam Sachdeva at Parliament and Newsroom co-editor Tim Murphy in Auckland as the panel asks if two examples of ads that National has been pulled up on, and ongoing allegations between parties, matter at the ballot box. The panel also offers bouquets and brickbats for the just-concluded Parliament and a debating chamber riven by indiscipline, falling standards and a Speaker exhibiting inconsistent rulings. Our third topic is Dirty Work, the latest book by Nicky Hager released this week. It is the third of a trilogy which actually feels a bit like two-and-a-half books. While it makes a range of allegations, it is lighter on evidential documentation and detail, and slimmer in volume, than his earlier investigative works. Finally, we offer recommendations for you to read, watch or listen to over your weekend:  Sam: Newsroom's Dave Williams' comprehensive two-part inquiry into the Taxpayers' Union from back in 2023.Tim: The latest Ipsos Issues Monitor, out Friday, continues the trend of Labour outpointing National on all of the top six issues of concern to the public, including the economy. National wins favour for the seventh most important issue, law and order.Marc: Kate Newton of RNZ's scoop on the Govt denying a law change to allow a start-up to dump particles in NZ oceans Raw Politics will be available wherever you get your podcasts at the end of each week, and to watch on YouTube.

Modi Govt FINALLY Listens! Major Development in UGC Protest | Sanjay Dixit

For all the opprobrium heaped on the National Party for their supermarket call, the old National was out yesterday finalising the India free trade deal. Of all the things this Government has done in its first term, the FTA with India may well be the most important. It will last forever, it will grow, and it will become an increasingly important part of our economic story. It's been made more important because for years it couldn't be done, apparently. It got knocked back so often that Governments kind of gave up. It became a bit too hard. Maybe they got stuck on dairy. But when you're stuck the trick is to look around the issues, not get bogged down by them. The downside of course is some couldn't see the upside because of the racism i.e. they didn't vote for it. But plenty did, which means New Zealand broadly is still middle of the road and interested in tapping into those markets globally that show the most promise. India represents the latest example of what this country does: we make stuff, and sell it to the world, and we are not quantity, we are quality. The growing middle class is all about quality. It's why our wine sales are still growing and Australia's aren't. But for those who think India is a mistake, who is it you would rather trade with? China is contentious, but we've got past that for over two decades and it's done nothing but provide work and income for so many of us. We don't, and won't, get a deal with the Americans. They're not free traders. So population wise, who's left? Russia? They don't have an economy. Yes, there's the EU. But it's a half billion person collective with all the baggage that goes with it. We have a deal, but I bet you anything you want, our EU deal won't grow like the India deal will. India is the standout growth story for the next decade and beyond. For us not to be part of that would have been a crime. To sign what we have is a down payment on a better future. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who Is Running the Show? | Govt Under Fire Over CJP & Bhim Army | Sanjay Dixit

This statement by Paul in today's readings [2 Cor. 4 v.16] really sums up what we aim to achieve by reading portions of God's word every day.  Of course this depends on the spirit with which we read.  Many face the challenge each day of finding adequate time to read; and then have little or no time for meditation on what they have read. But it is important to make an effort to do this for it multiplies in our minds the effectiveness of our reading.      In this ever more godless world many have times of difficulty and frustration to face and overcome. Note what Paul says next; “for this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison” [v.17].  Nearly all have some positive things in their daily experiences and if we highlight these in our minds they are invaluable in preventing worldly concerns from dominating our thoughts.  It is God's word that helps most of all – but that depends how we read it, how receptive our minds are – what we look for!  We try to demonstrate this in the daily thoughts we circulate.      We all experience things which tend to frustrate us, but Paul says, “we do not lose heart” [v.16]  and, as we see his list of afflictions, ours are nothing in almost every case!   The reason why Paul did not lose heart  was because he did not look on “the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.  For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” [v.18]   Let's try harder to follow his way of thinking.      We have climbed a few mountains in our younger days and, for much of the time we climbed surrounded by clouds, but then, suddenly there is a break in the clouds and we realise both how much we have climbed, but greater still, we marvel at the vista of the distant scene that suddenly unfolds.  Is not progress in the believer's life like this?        Now Jeremiah is an exception to the general experience of “light affliction” and as we completed reading his Lamentations today we noted his lament; “we get our bread at the peril of our lives …the joy of our hearts has ceased” [5 v.9,15] and we think this could be happening at times to some of our brethren in Iran and in one or two parts of Africa and maybe, even amongst those in Sri Lanka whom the Govt there is trying to force to return to their homeland. For all these, Paul's words are really full of meaning and it is vital and they know it is vital that their “inner nature is being renewed day by day.” They may sometimes feel somewhat as Paul felt,  “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair … struck down, but not destroyed” [4 v.8,9] Let us include them in our prayers – sensing how it helps in the renewal of our own inner nature, remembering what we read in ch. 1, v.11.
