A lawyer says people shouldn't fear Māori being given customary marine titles.  

The Government will tighten criteria so that groups will have to prove continuous and uninterrupted occupation since 1840.  

Te Mata Law barrister Harry Clatworthy says there are about 200 outstanding claims, and he expects around 50 to be particularly affected.  

He told Ryan Bridge concerns that Māori will close down beaches are a misunderstanding of what the titles actually grant.  

Clatworthy says they do grant the right to turn down private resource consents, but don't affect most other activities.

A view the Government's proposed changes to alcohol laws is a needed re-balance for licence-holders. 

The Bill would only let people object to a premise's licence application, if they live or work in the same council area or live within one kilometre.  

It also gives applicants a right of reply to objections.   

Hospitality New Zealand Head of Advocacy told Ryan Bridge the current licensing process has led to some vexatious objections from those outside of the area.  

He says applications aren’t often declined because of objections, but it does add unnecessary time and cost to the process.

Treasury has released numbers on the potential fallout for the New Zealand economy from the Iran war.

It estimates that under a worst‑case scenario — a conflict lasting until the end of the year with elevated oil prices — inflation would rise from 3.1 percent to 3.7 percent.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis says that number is too high - but is lower than Australia's current inflation - which is sitting at 3.8 percent. 

ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Ryan Bridge forecasting in this climate is difficult. 

He says other spikes in oil prices have led to higher inflation - but this will all depend on how long the conflict lasts.
