Mortgage rates are continuing to fall, but it isn't getting any easier for many people to access bank loans. 

Latest figures from interest.co.nz show one-year mortgage rates have fallen to around 6.33%, down from about 7.35% in January. 

But banks have told our newsroom they're still testing applicants at between 8.5 and 8.7%. 

Loan Market Mortgage Advisor Bruce Patten told Mike Hosking that banks are being overly cautious at the moment. 

He said that it won’t be until inflation rates get back to normal that they’ll ease off on the caution.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Tuesday 8th of October, we finally hear from the Navy about the HMNZS Manawanui sinking, and David Seymour previews his Treaty of Waitangi debate taking place tonight. 

The Prime Minister is in studio to talk about some of the under-fire ministers, where the $3b figure came from for Dunedin Hospital, and if we have money for a new naval ship. 

A month out and we are on the final stretch for the US election. There's no more debates and no more court cases, just regular campaigning. Nick Bryant gives his thoughts.

TVNZ's potentially looking at a challenge as it looks to further compete against streaming sites.
