Duncan Garner: Forget the Nicky Hager sideshow, there’s a new cost-of-living shock set to hit before election day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bills for more expensive fuel, groceries and possibly mortgages will hit at exactly the wrong time for PM Christopher Luxon and the coalition government. Photo / NZME Forget the stage-managed Nicky Hager book launch. Outside the beltway, Hager’s Dirty Work will be forgotten by many before this column is published. National, though, might hope it’s not, because there’s a new cost of living spike coming and it’s exactly what the party doesn’t need six weeks out from the election. Diesel has surged
Duncan Garner: This is now the supermarket election – why everyone has a plan to get you cheaper groceries (opens the original)

Duncan Garner: Supermarkets are now genuinely in the National Party's sights. It’s a massive shift in the party’s thinking. Photo / Getty Images Suddenly, everyone wants to save you money at the supermarket. Funny that.

Our economy is only just stirring back to life, yet the Reserve Bank has decided to make money more expensive, capital harder to obtain and expansion more difficult for businesses alread

Duncan Garner: The uncomfortable truth about the NZ education system is that our boys are doing really badly compared to girls. Photo / Getty Images I have been sent the latest peer-reviewed data from NZ schools. The good news is that results are improving overall. NCEA Level 1 achievement rates rose to 85.2%, Level 2 climbed to 77.8%, Level 3 reached 59%, University Entrance is 42.8%. What gets lost when looking at national averages, though, is that boys are being left behind, and not by a whis
