Unemployment Lower Than Forecast
Minister of Finance The latest labour market data showing lower than forecast unemployment has been noted by Finance Minister Nicola Willis. Stats NZ data released today shows the unemployment rate for the June quarter was 5.2 per cent, below the Treasury forecast of 5.4 per cent. 'Rising unemployment is tough on every New Zealander impacted and is the unfortunate after-effect of a historic period of out-of-control inflation, rapidly rising interest rates and stagnant growth. 'Our Government has worked hard to restore responsible economic management but Treasury, in its pre-election fiscal update, made clear that unemployment would peak in the middle of this year. It's of note, however, that today's data confirms 8000 fewer unemployed people than Treasury forecast would be the case in its pre-election update. 'Our Government remains focused on rebuilding the economy to deliver more and better paying jobs. A recovery is now underway with inflation back under control, interest rates falling and healthy rates of growth in the first three months of the year. 'Despite global volatility and factors outside our control, we remain confident in New Zealand's economic prospects and are working hard to create the conditions for future job creation with $6 billion of government-funded construction work kicking off before Christmas, fast-track projects beginning, exports growing and the Investment Boost tax policy giving businesses a reason to invest and grow. 'We also note that average hourly earnings rose 4.5 per cent in the past year driven by wages in the private sector. This is well ahead of inflation at 2.7 per cent.'

Lotto Powerball: $17 million up for grabs in latest jackpot draw
However, last Wednesday, two Strike Four players split the $700,000 jackpot and picked up $350,000 each. Time running out for mystery winner The mystery winner of a $200,000 Lotto prize has until the end of this month to claim their money before the ticket expires and is no longer available. Late last month, Lotto put out a final call for the owner of a ticket purchased at Coastlands Lotto in Paraparaumu on the Kāpiti Coast nearly a year ago to come forward. The draw was held on August 31, 2024, and expires 12 months from that date, giving the winner until the end of August this year to claim the money. 'We're still hopeful that the player will come forward and we can reunite them with their prize in time, but the ticket expiry date is looming,' Lotto's Will Hine said. Hine said the ticket, a Triple Dip, was purchased during a Father's Day promotion and could have been given away as a gift. 'Maybe that rings a bell for someone who got given a ticket, gave away a ticket, or even just bought themselves a Triple Dip about that time last year.' What to do if you win Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won if they purchased a ticket through MyLotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account. For prizes of more than $1000, winners have to fill in an online prize form. Winners with a physical ticket must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize. For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number.

US in seabed mineral talks with Cook Islands
Western nations that traditionally held sway in the Pacific Islands have become increasingly concerned about China's plans to increase influence after Beijing signed defence, trade and financial deals with Pacific countries in recent years. Earlier this year, a strategic partnership deal between China and the Cook Islands was signed. It spanned areas from deep-sea mining to education scholarships but excluded security ties. "The Government of the United States of America has begun discussions with the Government of the Cook Islands to support the research necessary to inform seabed exploration and responsible development within the Cook Islands' Exclusive Economic Zone," the State Department said in a statement on Tuesday. US-linked firms "sit at the forefront" of deep seabed mineral research and exploration in the Cook Islands, it said. The Cook Islands was within the New Zealand borders from 1901. In 1965, it became self governing but in free association with New Zealand. It has its own government and Britain's King Charles III is its head of state. Cook Islanders have New Zealand citizenship and passports. They have the same rights as a New Zealander such as the ability to work, go to school and use the medical system. In June, New Zealand suspended millions of dollars in budget funding to the Cook Islands as the relationship continued to deteriorate amid the island group's deepening ties with China.
