2. Business Canterbury – Confidence softens, but Canterbury businesses hold their nerve
June 11, 2026
Canterbury businesses are maintaining a forward focus despite global uncertainty, according to Business Canterbury’s latest Quarterly Business Confidence Survey released today.
The survey, which closed in early June, shows that while confidence has softened following recent conflict in the Middle East, the pullback has been modest from what was a very optimistic business community in the February survey.
Business Canterbury Chief Executive Leeann Watson says, “The results reflect a business community that is realistic about the challenges ahead, but far from retreating.”
Confidence in navigating further disruption remains strong, with around 80 percent of businesses saying they are confident in their ability to manage future shocks, something Watson suggests may be a defining feature of the Canterbury business community.
Just over half of businesses still expect a stronger Canterbury economy over the next 12 months, although confidence drops to less than a third when looking at the wider New Zealand economy. At the same time, 60 percent of businesses expect stronger financial performance in the coming year, and around 70 percent anticipate the impact of Middle East tensions to be contained within a 10 percent range of expected profitability for the current financial year.
Intentions around hiring and investment have softened only slightly, with a small decline in businesses planning to hire more staff or invest in property and plant over the next 12 months.
“This survey is pretty clear evidence that despite what is going on in the world, businesses are continuing to invest, continuing to plan, and continuing to look for opportunities.
“The next few months will be critical, with some impacts of global uncertainty yet to fully flow through, so businesses will be watching closely to see how things unfold, particularly when it comes to supply chain costs, disruption, interest rates and consumer confidence.”
The full report can be found on the Business Canterbury website: https://us.list-manage.com/15XoPEqqigq?e=c8e2b3d8e6&c2id=fb6737f17e4efdc94779f806864e3f25
Business Canterbury, formerly Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce, is the second largest Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand and the largest business support organisation in the South Island. It advocates on behalf of its members for an environment more favourable to innovation, productivity and sustainable growth.

3. Government backs AI support for small business
June 11, 2026
Source: New Zealand Government
New Zealand’s small businesses are getting a boost of AI-powered support to unlock new growth opportunities with new Government funding announced today, Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing Cameron Brewer says.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and every one of them has untapped potential to grow. That’s why I’m delighted to allocate and announce this funding today,” Mr Brewer says.
“This is about giving them the same smart, data-driven insight the big players have always had, without the big-player price tag.
The investment backs two initiatives putting practical, modern tools into the hands of the country’s 600,000 small businesses, the firms that make up 97 per cent of all Kiwi companies and employ about 680,000 people.
The Government is funding Business South to expand its AcceleratorNZ programme to a further 500 businesses, and Business Mentors New Zealand (BMNZ) to roll out AI tools that sharpen the support its mentors provide.
AcceleratorNZ uses AI to analyse a business’s own data, highlight its biggest growth opportunities, and hand the owner a practical action plan they can use straight away.
“The programme has already proven itself with more than 100 businesses. This expansion will let more than 500 benefit from AI-powered diagnostics over the next year,” Mr Brewer says.
BMNZ connects around 1,500 small and medium businesses a year with experienced mentors. The new funding will help develop its AI Digital Mentor tool, better matching mentors to the businesses that need them.
“This modernises a service Kiwi businesses already rely on, giving mentors smarter tools while keeping the human connection at the heart of mentoring. The technology supports the mentor, it doesn’t replace them, Mr Brewer says
“These tools show how going digital can lift efficiency and help more businesses thrive. This is about fixing the basics and building the future, making sure small businesses have the practical support they need to grow, compete, and succeed.”

June 12, 2026
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-NZ-AU)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX” or the “Company”), a leading battery materials company, today announced the delivery of a mass production qualification sample (“C-sample”) of synthetic graphite anode active material (“Synthetic Graphite AAM”) to its lead customer, Panasonic Energy (“Panasonic”).
This milestone marks the first known delivery of a Synthetic Graphite AAM C-sample produced in North America, representing a critical step towards establishing a U.S. supply chain in an industry currently dominated by China. The Company’s testing shows the material meets all Panasonic’s required specifications, though formal validation remains subject to Panasonic’s assessment over the coming months.
Qualification of anode active materials is a rigorous process, and timelines can vary depending on customer-specific material requirements and qualification protocols. The Company’s delivery of a C-sample represents the achievement of a significant step in the final stages of the qualification process with Panasonic and underscores NOVONIX’s advancement toward full-scale commercial production.
“The delivery of a mass production C-sample to Panasonic is an important moment for NOVONIX and for the development of a secure North American battery materials supply chain,” said Mike O’Kronley, CEO of NOVONIX. “This Milestone was achieved as a result of our dedicated team working closely with Panasonic to develop a new source of this critical mineral. We are now one step closer to realizing a fully domestic supply chain in the U.S.”
By achieving this milestone, the Company reaffirms earlier guidance that it expects commencement of mass production for Panasonic to begin in the second half of 2027, subject to successful completion of the qualification process by Panasonic and its customers.
This announcement has been authorised for release by Ron Edmonds, Chairman.

6. Food and fibre exports set to hit record $64.3 billion
June 11, 2026
Source: New Zealand Government
New Zealand’s farmers and growers are powering the economy with exports set to reach a record $64.3 billion, Forestry and Trade Minister Todd McClay announced today.
“The latest Situation and Outlook for Primary Industries (SOPI) report highlights a resilient, high-performing food and fibre sector driving strong demand and prices for New Zealand’s world-class products,” Mr McClay says.
“Export revenue is forecast to reach $64.3 billion in the year to 30 June 2026, up six per cent, with records across multiple sectors driven by healthy demand for dairy and red meat, alongside bumper kiwifruit and apple crops.
“Kiwi farmers are expected to benefit from strong farmgate returns this year due to high milk prices, record milk production and tight global red meat supplies, which will cushion against shipping and supply chain disruptions from the Middle East conflict.
“Food and fibre exports are expected to lift even further to a record $70.1 billion in the year to 30 June 2030, thanks to our hardworking Kiwi farmers, growers, foresters, fishers and processors.”
Key forecasts include:
dairy export revenue up 5 per cent to reach a record $28.6 billion
meat and wool export revenue up 14 per cent to a record $14.1 billion
horticulture export revenue up 7 per cent to a record $9.5 billion
processed food and other products export revenue increasing 5 per cent to a record $3.5 billion
Mr McClay says the Government continues to back the food and fibre sector’s success.
“We are focused on supporting our farmers and growers because when the primary sector does well, it means more jobs, higher wages, and more money flowing through to communities.”
It also takes us closer to reaching New Zealand’s ambitious goal of doubling the value of exports in 10 years.
“This National-led Government will continue to back the sector – including increasing trade opportunities like in India, reducing barriers to trade, and partnering with industry to help meet rising global demand by driving a step change in food and fibre production through greater land use flexibility.
“We are focused on fixing the basics and building the future through sensible reforms across freshwater, resource management and agricultural emissions.
“The Government is laser-focused on delivering more returns to Kiwi food and fibre producers and rural communities, growing the economy, and delivering prosperity for all New Zealanders – fixing the basics and building the future.”
The SOPI report was launched today at Fieldays, and is available at: www.mpi.govt.nz/sopi

8. New research identifies key challenges for New Zealand’s energy infrastructure
June 12, 2026
Source: New Zealand Infrastructure Commission
- Energy infrastructure is one of New Zealand’s largest infrastructure networks with over $53 billion in assets. This reflects over a century of building, transforming, and improving networks.
- Renewable electricity generation in New Zealand exceeded 95% in the last quarter of 2025, and it is predicted that it could reach as high as 98% by 2050, according to the Climate Change Commission’s projections.
- The Report on energy hardship measures: year ended June 2024 (MBIE) notes the impact of high energy prices, with 6.7% of households not being able to afford to keep their homes adequately warm in 2024.
- To meet legislated net-zero emissions goals, the Climate Change Commission advice is that that electricity will replace fossil fuels used to power homes, business and vehicles, leading to 60% growth in electricity demand by 2050.
- Te Waihanga estimates that between $2 to $5 billion per year over the next 30 years will be required to meet renewal and business-as-usual growth requirements in electricity generation, transmission and distribution. An additional $835 million per year on average will be needed to meet decarbonisation-related electricity demand.

9. Tech and Security – Recruitment phishing: new scams impersonate major brands like FIFA
June 11, 2026
Article by Ondrej Mokos, Threat Analysis Engineer at Gen
Scammers are creating fake hiring pages that impersonate major brands, including FIFA, to steal login credentials. These pages imitate real recruiting flows, with recruiter profiles, calendar invites, and familiar sign-in buttons. In this investigation, our threat researchers examine this recruitment scam pattern and share their findings, alongside hints on staying protected.
As excitement builds around the 2026 World Cup, scammers are exploiting FIFA’s trusted brand to target unsuspecting victims. But while many fraudsters are leveraging the hype through World Cup ticket scams, others take a different route: fake job opportunities.
Threat researchers at Gen (the company behind Norton) are finding fake hiring pages that impersonate FIFA, as well as other well-known brands, in order to phish for login credentials. These polished pages use familiar elements such as a recruiter profile, a scheduling prompt, and a “Continue with Google” button, making them more believable than clumsy pop-ups or email spam.
According to the Netsafe State of Scams Report, employment and impersonation scams are rising sharply across New Zealand, contributing to estimated national scam losses of roughly NZ$3 billion annually in 2025.
How these recruitment scams work
From the job seeker’s perspective, these recruitment scams often look like a routine step in the hiring process. You click a link and land on a branded recruitment page that shows FIFA’s logo, a recruiter profile, and a prompt to schedule an interview or introductory call.
In some cases, the “recruiter’s” name and picture are lifted directly from the public LinkedIn profile of a real person, adding a veneer of legitimacy.
The page then prompts you to sign in using a familiar option, usually your Google account. Some versions even reject personal email addresses and request business credentials instead. For scammers, corporate accounts are far more valuable, as they can provide access to company systems, internal files, and coworkers who can be targeted next – potentially leading to broader data breaches.
Once you enter your login details, they go straight to the scammers. The page looks routine, but the goal is simple: to move you from “interested in a job” to “entering credentials” with as little friction as possible.
Revealing your Google login credentials could expose you to account compromise, data theft, identity theft, and follow-up scams targeting your contacts or coworkers.
Behind the scam: What our threat researchers found
When Norton threat researchers investigated these fake FIFA hiring pages, they found pages that look polished on the surface but display major warning signs under closer inspection. Here’s an in-depth look at one such fake job posting.
The first clue was the domain. The fake page didn’t sit on FIFA’s official hiring web domain. Instead, it lived on fifahiring[.]com, which combines FIFA’s name with a hiring-related term to look legitimate.
Other examples our threat researchers found included careers-fifahiring[.]com and fifajobs[.]com. These pages are often ephemeral: when they’re taken down, they’re quickly replaced by new scam pages with similarly spoofed or typosquatted domains.
Security tip: FIFA’s only legitimate hiring pages at the time of writing are jobs.fifa.com and fifa.pinpointhq.com. Any other website claiming to offer FIFA jobs or recruitment opportunities is likely to be fraudulent.
Other technical signals raised concern. The domain and certificate were newly created, and the site used common web-hosting services such as Vercel and Render instead of infrastructure that looked like a corporate hiring environment.
But the clearest red flag was the sign-in experience. The Google sign-in prompt was not a real Google authentication window. It was rendered inside the page itself, meaning the user never actually left the fake hiring site for a Google-controlled login page. The visible buttons and links did not work as expected, and the page appeared to load only Google’s favicon (the small browser icon representing Google) to make the fake login box look familiar.
The smoking gun? Login details were sent to a malicious domain not connected to Google or FIFA – meaning any data entered was exfiltrated straight to fraudsters.
Examples beyond FIFA
When our threat researchers investigated further, they found that these fake recruitment pages extend well beyond FIFA imitations, affecting at least a dozen employers. The brands varied, but the setup stayed largely the same: The scam page impersonates a trusted company, urges job seekers to schedule a meeting, and pushes them toward a fake sign-in step.
Since May 1, 2026, Gen products, including Norton, have blocked these recruitment scam attacks more than 250 times, according to internal product data, although the true scale of the problem remains unknown. New malicious URLs are being created as quickly as others can be taken down.
These recruitment pages were found impersonating companies including:
Aquent.
Coca-Cola.
Delta.
Hays.
Heineken.
Hilton.
Netflix.
PepsiCo.
Spotify.
Some examples varied slightly from the main pattern. For instance, a few used a fake Facebook sign-in button instead of a fake Google sign-in button.
How to spot fake recruitment pages before you enter credentials
A polished hiring page does not prove a job is real. Scammers can copy logos, photos, job language, and sign-in buttons from legitimate sites. And, thanks to AI, malicious websites are becoming disturbingly easy to create – giving rise to what our threat researchers have dubbed “VibeScams.”
Before entering your email or password, pause and check the page itself. Look for warning signs like these:
- The domain does not match the company’s official careers site.
- The web address adds words like “jobs,” “careers,” “hiring,” “talent,” or “opportunities” around a brand name.
- The page pushes you to provide a business email before you have verified the job.
- The sign-in box appears inside the hiring page instead of opening on the real Google, Microsoft, Facebook, or LinkedIn domains.
- Since the sign-in box is fake, your password manager won’t recognise it and won’t autofill your login credentials – which is another security advantage of password managers.
- Buttons, links, or menu items on the sign-in window do not work.
- The job page came from an unsolicited message, social post, or ad.
- The page pressures you to schedule quickly or uses urgent language.
The safest way to check a job page is to start from the company’s official website. Do not rely only on a link someone sent you. Enter the company’s URL directly into your browser’s address bar and find the careers page from there. In some cases, even a Google search may surface fraudulent results, because scammers can use SEO poisoning tactics or paid ads to place fake job listings near the top of search results.
What to do if you fell for a recruitment phishing scam
If you entered a password on a fake recruitment page, act quickly:
- Change the password for the account you entered. If you reused that password anywhere else, change it there too. Then touch up on password security basics.
- Check your account recovery settings for new emails or phone numbers you don’t recognise. To do this on Google, tap your profile icon, tap Manage your Google account, then Security & sign in. Check that the Recovery phone and Recovery email are yours. If a scammer added their own recovery option, they may be able to reset your password even after you change it.
- Check if unknown devices are logged in to your account: Review the list of devices currently signed in to your account and log out of any you don’t recognise. On Google, you can find this under Security & sign in – scroll to Your devices to see where you’re signed in and remove anything suspicious.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication: Enable 2FA or MFA for potentially affected accounts. This can help prevent someone who has your password from gaining access to your accounts, as they’ll need an extra code sent to your SMS inbox or authenticator app.
- Report it to your employer’s IT or security team if you entered a work email or work password. They can help secure the account and check for suspicious activity.
- Watch for follow-up scams from people pretending to be recruiters, HR staff, background-check companies, or payroll teams.
- Be careful with requests for sensitive information, including ID documents, tax forms, bank details, or payments for training and equipment.
- Report the fake page to the platform where you found it, the impersonated company, and the relevant fraud reporting authority in your country.
What this all means for consumers
Fake job postings are a reminder that job scams are not limited to suspicious emails or too-good-to-be-true offers: some now look like ordinary hiring pages from trusted brands. The FIFA example is timely, but the lesson is broader: any major brand can be copied, a recruiter profile can be faked, and a familiar sign-in button can be used as bait.
Knowing who to trust online can feel increasingly difficult, which is why AI-powered scam protection is so helpful. These tools add an extra layer of security to your digital life, helping flag suspicious links, malicious websites, and scammy messages.
