A Tai Rāwhiti mill that ran for 30 years before it was shut down in late 2023 is set to re-open in the coming months, which will eventually see nearly 300 new jobs in the region. A new report from Massey University shows that pensioners are struggling with rising costs. Two new polls show that Labour could form a government with Greens and Te Pāti Māori. The coalition is embroiled in scandal with David Seymour undermining the PM after being criticised for sending a letter advocating for Philip Polkinghorne.
