Claire Turnbull: What fruits and veg should you keep an eye out for in winter?
Q: How did you manage to lose weight sustainably and then keep it off?
Sol describes starting with a calorie-conscious approach, never excluding foods, and building a sustainable routine that includes exercise he enjoys, which helped maintain weight loss over time.
Peter Dunne: Former United Future Leader reacts to NZ First Campaign Launch
Q: What peaked your interest this time?
Dunne notes NZ First's ongoing nostalgia-based messaging and its framing of the past as a roadmap for today, while highlighting the party's strategic move to stabilize its core support and broaden its appeal through selective policy signals and celebrity associations.
Chris Wilson: KiwiSaver changes need some tweaking
Q: What is the recommended behavior for investors during short-term market shocks?
Investors are advised not to panic, to review the fund allocation rather than daily balances, and to recognize that staying invested in an appropriate risk profile tends to yield better long-term outcomes.
Chris Wilson: KiwiSaver changes need some tweaking
Q: Should KiwiSaver be decoupled from the superannuation age?
Yes, decoupling is proposed as a way to reduce political heat and allow earlier access to KiwiSaver while keeping retirement planning flexible for individuals, potentially enabling access before 65 without impacting the rest of the retirement system.
Chris Wilson: KiwiSaver changes need some tweaking
Q: How might KiwiSaver be improved for self-employed individuals?
The guest argues for design changes so self-employed people can contribute more easily and benefit from employer-like contributions, suggesting policy changes to incentivize savings outside traditional employment structures.
