NZTA to discuss investment in second Mt Victoria tunnel for Wellington at board meeting
Transport Minister Chris Bishop. Photo: RNZ / Mark Papalii Friday could put the wheels in motion for a second Mount Victoria tunnel in Wellington after years of debate. As part of its election promises, the National Party campaigned on building a second tunnel through Mount Victoria and to get shovels in the ground on the project before next year's election. Improvements in the area had been discussed for years with projects such as the Basin Flyover and a second Mount Victoria Tunnel planned under the now-scrapped Let's Get Wellington Moving plan. In November, the Transport Agency | Waka Kotahi (NZTA) confirmed to move forward with a plan to duplicate the Terrace Tunnel , make upgrades around the Basin Reserve and build a second Mount Victoria Tunnel. Since then, NZTA has worked on an investment case which the agency confirmed would be considered by its board at its meeting on Friday. The agency said once a decision was made, Transport Minister Chris Bishop would be briefed. Bishop told RNZ that once the business case was considered announcements would be made in due course. NZTA's board will discuss an investment case for a second Mt Vic tunnel on Friday. Photo: 123RF Infrastructure NZ chief executive Nick Leggett said it could be a "game changer" for Wellington City residents, but noted it needed to cater for cars, bus, bikes and pedestrians. "We need a balanced approach to moving around the city and in and out of the city, and that should be catering for pedestrians, for cyclists, for buses and for cars. "We can't afford to have just one mode favoured above the other." Leggett said it was important to get the project started as soon as possible. "I think Wellington is sick of waiting and we do need some action and some activity to improve the city because it is not that hot out there in terms of our local and regional economy." Local Rongotai MP and Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter said it was disappointing a "better option" was not on the table. "This is a very 20th century sort of project you know it's one that has been talked about for a really long time, but we know it's not really going to solve congestion and it's going to come at enormous cost and disruption to the city." Genter said she was not hopeful that the project would support walking or cycling. "In the government policy statement on transport they basically rule out using any funding from the state highways projects for walking and cycling or bus lanes or anything other than the car part of it." Bishop said that he still expected construction to start in 2026. Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.

First ‘Climate Citizens' Approved By Nauru In World-First Program
The Republic of Nauru has welcomed its first new citizens under the government's Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program, announced at COP29 late last year. Nauru, ranked the world's fifth most vulnerable nation under the United Nations' Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) for its heightened exposure to economic and environmental shocks, launched the program as a way for conscientious investors to acquire an additional citizenship while contributing to climate adaptation and sustainable development projects in the South Pacific. Program CEO Edward Clark revealed the first approved applicant is a German family of four who recently sold their long-standing family business – a well-known, reputable German company - and are currently living in Dubai. 'They were looking for a second citizenship to provide them with a Plan B given the current global political volatility and chose the Nauru Economic & Climate Resilience Citizenship Program because the contribution was going towards tackling the impacts of climate change on the island,' he explained. Mr Clark, who has an extensive background in international banking, financial crime and compliance, said it took under four months from receiving the application to the granting of citizenship, and that strict due diligence processes were followed. 'This is a fundamental pillar of our program and a safeguard for Nauru's reputation and security,' he said. 'All applicants undergo checks with international law enforcement agencies and are subject to in-depth background verification. Our entire application process is consistent with international best practices. He said only individuals of the highest calibre who can participate in shaping Nauru's future will be granted citizenship. 'The granting of Nauruan citizenship to this family marks a major milestone for the program and provides even more confidence to those who are currently exploring Nauru citizenship by investment.' Nauru is embarking on a long-term project that will reform the nation in the face of economic challenges and climate change, which as well as dealing with issues like food and water security, includes the 'Higher Ground Initiative' - relocating almost the entire population from the coast to higher ground. The new citizens from Germany applied through international migration agents Henley & Partners, who in a statement said the company is, 'incredibly proud to represent the first applicant to be successfully granted citizenship under the Republic of Nauru's Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program. 'For our firm, this goes beyond mobility; this is about directing capital into a Small Island Developing State, which is facing real climate risk. 'This is a clear example of how investment migration, when properly designed and governed, can channel capital toward economic and climate resilience measures and create a more sustainable future,' the statement concluded.

Trump adviser defends labour official's firing, deflects on how data was politically ‘rigged'
'The President wants his own people there, so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable,' Hassett said on NBC. The latest jobs report, which triggered Trump's anger, hit at an especially sensitive point for the President. He called the report 'A SCAM' in a post to social media, saying without evidence that McEntarfer 'had the biggest miscalculations in over 50 years'. For months, he has boasted multiple times a week that the US now has the 'hottest' economy in the world. He has repeatedly told audiences that he has received that assessment from people he has talked to, attributing the comment at different times to Middle Eastern monarchs, European leaders and American businessmen. The Labour Department's latest monthly report showed the labour market to be at best lukewarm, adding just 106,000 new jobs over the past three months. That's far fewer than previously estimated and less than the amount needed to keep unemployment from rising. The report, which included steep downgrades of the estimates for jobs added in May and June, suggested that Trump's tariffs have started to seriously slow the economy. The revisions, while large, were not unheard of - final statistics on the number of jobs in the economy often differ widely from the initial estimates. When NBC's 'Meet the Press' host Kristen Welker pressed Hassett for proof to support Trump's claim that those numbers were 'rigged,' he deflected. 'The revisions are the hard evidence,' he said, adding, 'If I was running the BLS, and I had a number that was a huge, politically important revision … then I would have a really long report explaining what happened, and we didn't get that.' Where Hassett sees impropriety, Trump's former BLS commissioner, William Beach, sees revisions that resulted from McEntarfer 'trying to do a better job, getting more information'. On CNN, Beach rejected the argument that McEntarfer somehow manipulated the data for political purposes, saying that 'by the time the commissioner sees the numbers, they're all prepared. They're locked into the computer system.' McEntarfer has not commented publicly on her firing. Her dismissal comes amid broader concerns from policymakers and economic analysts about increasingly shaky government economic data over issues that, in many cases, predate her tenure leading the bureau. Falling response rates to government surveys, coupled with pandemic-driven seasonal quirks and long-standing budget strains, have made it harder to collect and analyse reliable data, officials have said. Agencies responsible for the data have also shed staff through early retirements, deferred resignations and normal attrition. Beach said that he will still trust the jobs numbers moving forward but that the attack by Trump undermines the public's trust in the bureau. 'I don't think there's any grounds at all for this firing,' he continued. 'And it really hurts the statistical system. … This is damaging.' Polls suggest the public has more trust in the accuracy of federal statistics, such as the unemployment rate, than in the federal government overall. A national poll of about 1000 adults conducted by survey research firm SSRS in June found that roughly 70% had at least some confidence in federal statistics, compared with 51% who said the same about the federal government overall. Former Treasury secretary Lawrence Summers called Trump's claim that the BLS numbers were manipulated for political purposes 'a preposterous charge', telling ABC that McEntarfer's firing was 'way beyond anything that Richard Nixon ever did'. 'These numbers are put together by teams of literally hundreds of people following detailed procedures that are in manuals. There's no conceivable way that the head of the BLS could have manipulated this number,' said Summers, who led the Treasury Department under President Bill Clinton. Hassett also raised concerns about data quality - questioning whether the system has recovered from the chaos of economic data collection during the Covid pandemic. He argued that large revisions during the pandemic were happening 'all the time, all over the place', which was understandable given fluctuations in the job market. But after the pandemic, the large revisions have continued, he said. 'Right now, we've got BLS numbers that aren't really a lot better than they were during Covid, and we need to understand why. I think the President's right to call for new leadership,' Hassett told Fox News. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on CBS that the President's concerns with the BLS data date back to 'everything we saw last year', appearing to reference downward revisions to the 2024 jobs data that Trump complained about. 'There are always revisions, but sometimes you see these revisions go in really extreme ways,' Greer continued. 'The president is the president. He can choose who works in the executive branch.' The Trump Administration's push to overhaul major benchmarks it calls flawed predates the jobs report. In March, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called for a change in the way economic growth is measured, though that idea has yet to move forward. Over the past decade, as a result of budget constraints, the BLS has scaled back key activities such as in-person visits, follow-ups, field training and travel - steps that are essential for data quality. It has said it is surveying fewer outlets for the consumer price index - the most widely used benchmark for inflation - because of staffing shortages in certain cities, and that it is discontinuing the calculation and publishing of wholesale pricing data on hundreds of products in the producer price index.
