Politicians of all stripes say the Government shouldn’t try to stop the values of properties vulnerable to the effects of climate change from plummeting.

In fact, they believe there is room for at-risk property values to fall further to discourage investment in flood-prone parts of the country.

NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny unpacks these findings further.

One Nation's Pauline Hanson is facing backlash from fellow politicians and advocates after her interview on the Jamie J podcast resurfaced.

Hanson labelled Indigenous Australians as the 'most primitive race on Earth' when she criticised schools teaching their history and culture back in 2025.

Australian correspondent Sam Emery says at least three senators have condemned her statement and called for a 'real apology' after she attempted to provide context.

ACT is promising to freeze the minimum wage for three years and make it more tricky for unions to collect membership fees if it returns to Government. 

The party would also introduce a training wage for under-20s' first year of employment, at 60 percent of the minimum wage. 

It also wants to shorten the personal grievances time-frame, and require they be raised with the Employment Relations Authority within three months.

EMA Head of Advocacy Alan McDonald has raised concerns with aspects of this - and says an 'indexed' approach to the minimum wage would be a better idea. 

"What we've seen in the last two or three minimum wages - they've been quite small steps up, they've been 20 or 50 cents. And that, to me, makes more sense than freezing them completely, because there is inflation."
