Hopes some relief for businesses will be on the cards in a public meeting to discuss the future of Mount Maunganui this evening.

Mauao has been closed to the public ever since a landslide killed six holiday-makers almost 100 days ago.

The Mt Maunganui Ratepayers, Residents and Retailers Association expects discussions tonight about allowing one route to the top of the mount.

President Michael O'Neill says businesses rely on the patronage of people using the mount.

He explained the same goes for people using the campground, hot pools, and boat ramp - all of which are closed.

Sometimes in relationships, conversations can be difficult to carry out, and more young people are outsourcing their issues to AI.

New reports show a significant chunk of Gen Z are turning to AI to fix their interpersonal conflicts, and experts are concerned it could be stunting their emotional growth.

Therapist Jo Robertson says this technology could be useful - but it's important to also discuss these issues with an actual human being too.

"There's a touch of me that's a bit impressed, because I like that they're thinking about it, they're not just going willy-nilly, what should I say to this person? They're getting advice, they're getting input."

A former senior economist at the Reserve Bank is calling releasing details of who voted which way on the Official Cash Rate a 'baby step'.

It's been agreed by the Minister of Finance and the Monetary Policy Committee that vote details will be released publicly if committee members are unable to come to consensus on the OCR.

The charter comes into effect today. 

Michael Reddell says it's fairly rare for the committee not to come to a consensus, but it's a good step. 

"So I'm not criticising it, it's just that it's not a particularly bold move."

Helen Clark reckons political polling's behind disagreements in the coalition.

Winston Peters' office released emails showing Prime Minister Chris Luxon was advised against supporting the US and Israel's strikes on Iran.

National's Nicola Willis believes Peters is playing politics - and should have informed them before releasing the emails.

Willis separately accused NZ First of race-baiting in their opposition to the India free trade deal.

Clark says Willis is not holding back.

"New Zealand First is eating fairly deeply into National's support, and that is starting, I think, to become somewhat more corrosive in the coalition."
