    Are New Zealand’s business leaders really too frightened to speak? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Dr Oliver Hartwich of The NZ Initiative says too many of the country’s business leaders are living in a "climate of fear". Oliver Hartwich has put his finger on something rather uncomfortable. The New Zealand Initiative director says too many of the country’s business leaders are living in a “climate of fear” – worried that speaking publicly against election policies which are anti-business and market interventionist could invite political retaliation. In an open letter signed by 51 mainly NZ In

    National cannot campaign on competition while ignoring the banks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Nicola Willis this week hit on two great crowd-pleasers for the 2026 election. Cut people’s taxes. Take on the supermarkets. Tell voters they can keep more of their pay packet while promising to take a regulatory baseball bat to the supermarket duopoly and you have, at least in political terms, a pat answer to the cost-of-living squeeze. Yes, the Finance Minister is being cute. But an election is looming. What about the other markets where New Zealanders are being squeezed? The galloping insuran

Edmonds, who is Labour’s finance spokesperson – and the MP for Mana – is on track to become a household name. At the recent Politik election summit in Wellington, she showed why she should not be underestimated. She currently represents an electo

    Canterbury growth: The next chapter is managing success (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Christchurch Airport is positioning itself as much more than an aviation gateway, writes Fran O'Sullivan. Fifteen years after the earthquakes tore the heart out of New Zealand’s second-largest city, Christchurch has completed one of the most remarkable urban rebuilds in the developed world. The next chapter is considerably more difficult.
