It’s not just New Zealand who’s been experiencing an icy start to Spring.

Australia has seen record low temperatures across the southeast, with an icy blast catching several states unaware. 

Canberra marked its coldest September morning on record, with Monday hitting –6.9C, and many regions were hitting below 0.

Australia Correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge that the system has come almost from Antarctica, and the temperatures are sitting about five to eight degrees lower than average.

More children in this country are being hospitalised for preventable diseases. 

A new Cure Kids report reveals hospital admissions for respiratory, skin and rheumatic conditions, mental health issues and dental diseases, remain unacceptably high. 

It identifies social factors —like child poverty, housing conditions and inequitable access to care— as key drivers, and notes Māori and Pasifika children are disproportionately affected.

Chair of Child Health at Auckland University Stuart Dalziel told Ryan Bridge that we need to look at which children we’re failing, and if there is a failing on the basis of race, we need to ask why.

He said that the answer may not be specifically race-targeted policy, but there does need to be policy, and we need to be very clear about where there is failings so they can be corrected.

More profit appears to be on the horizon for dairy farmers, with conditions faring better than expected.

Dairy NZ's lifted its revenue forecast to $8.84 per kilogram of milk solids, with a break even of $8.09.

Head of Economics Mark Storey says the combination of improved farmgate milk prices and declining interest rates show a healthier situation for the sector.

But he says the costs of electricity, feed, and maintenance have kept driving farm working expenses up.

He says overall expenses are staying stubbornly high, so the inflation hasn't come out of the system just yet.
