Statistics Minister Shane Reti has announced that the Census form will be scrapped and instead replaced with smaller surveys and administrative data. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon expressed openness to reducing sick leave entitlements. And tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate as Israel's war on Gaza continues, threatening global security. For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden spoke with Deputy Leader Carmel Sepuloni about both of these topics.

An Auckland business owner has described current sick leave entitlements as 'manifestly unfair', and said it is a significant burden in tough economic times. In 2021 minimum paid sick leave for workers went from five to 10 days, regardless of how often a person works. The government has confirmed it is changing the law to a pro rata system, or proportional leave; where sick day allowances will be different for part and full-time workers depending on how many hours or days they work. Entertainment business owner Kathy Aspden said her sick leave costs have increased 400% since the allowance doubled. Kathy Aspden spoke to Lisa Owen.

Government plans to change the number of paid sick days workers can take could leave part time employees worse off. Since changes in 2021 New Zealand workers are legally entitled to ten paid sick days a year,regardless of how many hours or days they work. But the government's looking to change to a pro rata system or proportional leave; where sick day allowances will be different for part and full time workers. The Prime Minister confirmed the review, but says the exact details are yet to be decided. Workplace Relations Minister Brooke Van Velden, who will lead any changes, spoke to Lisa Owen.

Workers may soon be eligible for different amounts of sick leave based on the hours they work. This morning, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon revealed the Workplace Relations Minister is looking at altering the current 10 day entitlement. Brooke van Velden says Cabinet has already agreed to develop a pro-rated sick leave system. "Is it fair that someone who works maybe one day a week, maybe two days a week gets the same sick leave entitlements as someone who works full-time? We would say no, as a Government."

Prime Minister Chris Luxon claimed today that changes were coming to existing sick leave terms. In 2021, Labour and the Greens doubled statutory sick leave from 5 to 10 days as part of their response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Christopher Luxon said Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden is working on new changes - but it prompted concerns from some. NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan explained further.

The Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, is not dismissing a review of sick leave provisions, including reducing the number of sick leave days that employees are entitled to. Employers and Manufacturers Association advocacy head Alan McDonald spoke to Corin Dann.

The Prime Minister has laid out his goals ahead of his visit to China. Chris Luxon is about to leave for Shanghai with a business delegation, before making his way to Beijing to meet with President Xi Jinping. Luxon says he also wants to broaden the countries' trade relationship with a focus on red meat, tourism and education.
