What you need to know about Budget 2024: Will we still get our tax cuts?

There’s no better way to unwind at the end of a long day of work than binging on reality TV.

From The Block, to Celebrity Treasure Island, Kiwis have always had a soft spot for the genre. Right now, the country is obsessed with Married at First Sight New Zealand, back for its fourth season after a five year hiatus.

And while we may still be mad about the genre, a lot has changed for reality TV since the local version of the international hit debuted in 2017.

Today on The Front Page, AUT University senior communications lecturer, Rebecca Trelease, joins us to discuss our MAFS obsession, and the changing world of reality TV.

Why are we so obsessed with Married at First Sight - and the changing face of reality TV

The global economy is still recovering from a difficult few years, and New Zealand is not immune.

The NZX 50 has been struggling recently, the recent mini-reporting season saw largely disappointing results for many companies, and the usual investment opportunities are not delivering.

In these times of difficulty though, there are plenty of opportunities for new industries to invest in, and different countries for New Zealand to look at for trade.

NZME Business editorial director, Fran O’Sullivan, is covering all these ups and downs in her latest Capital Markets and Investment special, and she joins us now on The Front Page to discuss the state of the market.

How capital markets and investments are faring in a struggling economy

New Zealand is a farming country, and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

Agriculture and the primary sector remain central to our international trade, with export revenue hitting a record 57.8 billion in the year to June 2023.

That number is expected to dip when the next figures are announced, as the tough economic climate is felt throughout all parts of society.

Looking to get the most out of both the primary sectors here and overseas is the Minister for Agriculture and Trade, Todd McClay.

As he heads to Fieldays this week, the Minister joins The Front Page to discuss the state of his key portfolios.
