Allowing less pure fuel into the country could shore up supply.  

Finance Minister Nicola Willis has asked fuel importers what specifications could be relaxed to make it easier for them to get more in.  

Waitomo Group Chief Executive Simon Parham says there could be a relaxing of the rules to allow more sulphur content in our diesel.  

He told Ryan Bridge that we only allow fuel with less than 10 parts per million sulphur content. 

Parham says the US allows 15 parts per million and Australia has relaxed to 50 parts per million.

A three-decade surge in how much unhealthy food we eat.  

New research from Auckland University, published in the Globalisation and Health journal, shows New Zealand's imports of ultra-processed food increased from 16 kilograms in 1990, to 104 in 2023.  

Past studies show about 70% of packaged food in our supermarkets is ultra-processed. 

Nutritionist Nikki Hart told Ryan Bridge it's often disguised.  

She says it's canned food, crackers, and biscuits that are presented with a health claim. 

Kids are also feeding into unhealthy food branding, Hart saying products are designed to catch their attention.  

She says there's a lot of money and time going into it, as our rates of child obesity rise.

Yesterday’s “disappointing” GDP data gives the Reserve Bank more scope to delay a hike to the Official Cash Rate, ANZ senior economist Matthew Gault says. 

The RBNZ’s next monetary policy review announcement is on April 8. It had been picking 0.5% GDP growth for the December quarter, but GDP rose just 0.2%. 

Gault told Ryan Bridge ANZ had expected the Bank to be reasonably cautious about the oil price shock compared to other central banks. 

“Definitely inflation will rise with oil prices going up as much as they have. But the real concern for the Reserve Bank will be whether that increase in oil prices spills over into generalized inflation, things like wages and other prices. 

“And with the economy in a relatively weak state, we think they'll be less worried about that than places like Australia where the economy is firing more strongly.” 

Gault said the Government was being “sensible” not to push inflation higher with fiscal stimulus in response to oil prices.
