David Seymour takes the reins as deputy prime minister

David Seymour has taken over from Winston Peters as deputy prime minister. A ceremony marking the ACT leader's transition took place at midday at Government House in Auckland. Seymour has vowed to keep speaking freely as he takes over the role, at the half-way point of the current government. He told RNZ the transition - in most respects - would be "business as usual", adding, "I've actually been the acting prime minister several times and we're all still here, so don't worry". Watch the press conference at the conclusion of the swearing-in, around 12.15pm.

Trump to host Elon Musk in Oval Office as DOGE kingpin departs administration: Live updates

President Donald Trump is hosting Elon Musk in one final White House press event as the Tesla billionaire concludes his tenure in the Trump administration. The president announced on his TruthSocial platform that the pair would appear together on Friday afternoon. 'I am having a Press Conference tomorrow at 1:30 P.M. EST, with Elon Musk, at the Oval Office,' Trump wrote on TruthSocial on Thursday. 'This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House.' The billionaire's departure and media appearance with the president follow his criticism of Trump's 'big beautiful bill,' which includes tax cuts and increased spending on border controls, and strengthens efforts to enact immigration restrictions. Musk announced his official departure from government on his social media platform X on Wednesday, as his 130-day term as a special government employee, leading the Trump administration's efforts to shrink the federal bureaucracy and find savings, comes to a close this week.
