Cost-of-Living Politics: Winston Peters doubles down with a “KiwiSaver-from-birth” plan—$1000 at birth and compulsory enrolment—plus a proposal to buy back BNZ and merge it with Kiwibank. Education Shake-up: Auckland Grammar backs the government’s NCEA replacement direction, saying the new framework should raise rigour with independent assessment and exams. Health & Family Support: A Northland mother-focused story highlights postpartum care gaps, while Hawke’s Bay rangatahi launch youth-led healthy eating guidelines via social media.
