Last update: 4 hours ago

Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry: Springboks captain Pieter-Steph du Toit says nerves are part of the job as South Africa hosts the All Blacks at Ellis Park for the first of four Tests, with du Toit urging focus on scrum and lineout while All Blacks captain Ardie Savea expects the rivalry tension to fuel a spectacle. Immigration: New Zealand Immigration is changing work-to-residence and skilled migrant wage rules from Aug 24, dropping the old three-stage wage checks and adding a grace period for people caught by wage increases. Energy & cost pressures: A report warns New Zealand needs about $26b more investment to keep electricity affordable as renewables reshape supply and demand. Auckland surveillance dispute: A motorist is taking Auckland Transport to court over mobile camera footage and $85 parking fines, arguing the system captured far more than parking breaches. Business & markets: NZX 50 rose for a third week as earnings rolled in, with Spark jumping and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare lifting guidance. Food & health: Zespri launches “Grown for Good” to spotlight nutrition benefits as it expands across export markets. Tech: OpenAI begins rolling out ads inside ChatGPT for Free and Go users across Europe, including New Zealand, while Plus/Pro/Enterprise users won’t see them.
