Education – Minister Takes Education Off Track – Principals Fed

The New Zealand Principals’ Federation (NZPF) President, Leanne Otene, said today she reiterates her concerns that the Minister of Education is taking education in the wrong direction.
“As I reflect on the curriculum changes over the past two years, and especially what has been removed, downgraded or ignored in the curriculum, I conclude that we are now out of step with the world’s leading countries,” she said.
“Research tells us that seven East Asian countries are now looking at incorporating soft skills such as critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, collaborative learning and peer assessment into their curriculum frameworks, acknowledging the need for students to develop a range of competencies beyond academic knowledge,” she says.
“For us to be pursuing a heavily structured ‘knowledge rich’ curriculum dominated by memorising and surface learning, rather than deep understanding and critical thinking, will leave our young people ill-prepared for a future in which they will be required to creatively problem solve and co-exist with Artificial Intelligence,” she said.
“In a recent curriculum focused meeting, our regional presidents reported that their principal members will pause all professional development in the new mathematics curriculum this year, and revisit the subject in March 2026,” said Otene.
“The whole curriculum approach needs a complete rethink. There are many issues to consider in respect of the major curriculum changes being presented. The middle of the most demanding term of the school year is not the time to tackle them,” she said.

Universities – Who benefits from housing intensification? – UoA

New research will explore who’s affected by New Zealand’s intensification boom, and the potential impact housing reforms are having on inequality.

University of Auckland researchers have received an $853,000 Marsden Fund grant to answer one of New Zealand’s biggest housing questions: who actually benefits from upzoning?

Associate Professor Ryan Greenaway-McGrevy and Distinguished Professor Peter Phillips are leading a team of researchers to investigate the social and economic effects of large-scale zoning reforms, including Auckland’s Unitary Plan. They are working to understand how upzoning (housing intensification) has affected communities and neighbourhoods, and whether it has widened or reduced inequality.

“Where we live and grow up matters for a variety of life outcomes,” says Greenaway-McGrevy, “so it’s important to think about how zoning reform can change the geography of opportunity.”

Auckland’s 2016 reform upzoned about three-quarters of its residential land, allowing medium- and high-density housing in areas previously limited to single-house zones. Earlier Marsden-funded research by Greenaway-McGrevy and co-authors found the move sparked a surge in housing construction and helped ease rental pressures.

But while the reforms succeeded in boosting supply, he’s now interested in uncovering the socio-economic effects.

“On the one hand, the potential for upzoning to exacerbate inequalities within cities raises real concerns. On the other, widespread reforms may also enable housing options in neighbourhoods that were previously inaccessible to many households,” says Greenaway-McGrevy.

“There remains an acute lack of evidence on the effects of widespread zoning reforms on spatial inequality because, until recently, such reforms have been rare. Yet investigating and understanding the outcomes is critical to evaluate the potential impacts of current policy proposals and to inform the ongoing design of zoning changes.”

Using evidence from New Zealand’s groundbreaking zoning reforms, the study will provide the first robust case studies on how large-scale upzoning affects neighbourhood composition, opportunity, and social mobility, offering insights for policymakers in NZ and abroad.

Health – Vaping threatens smokefree progress, Government must act now, health organisation warns

Policymakers are being urged to confront the harsh reality that vaping is undermining years of smokefree progress – a trend the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ has long warned would happen.
New research – recently published in The Lancet – which looked at trends in smoking prevalence before and after the emergence of vaping in New Zealand among 14-15-year-olds, shows that the rise of vaping has stalled progress in cutting youth smoking rates and deepened inequities for Māori and Pacific teens.
The study analysed the ASH Snapshot Surveys spanning 2003 to 2024, a total of nearly 600,000 Year 10 students, and found that while youth smoking has fallen overall since 2003, progress has stalled since vaping took hold. Māori and Pacific teens – already at greater risk of tobacco-related harm – are disproportionately affected.
Foundation Chief Executive Ms Letitia Harding says the findings prove what public health advocates have long feared: vaping is fuelling nicotine addiction, not ending it.
“This study confirms what we’ve been warning about for years.
“Vaping was promoted as a way out of smoking, but for our rangatahi, it’s become a trap,” she says.
“We’re seeing nicotine dependence take hold earlier and more deeply than before – and it’s reversing progress.”
The Foundation’s nearly decade-long fight against tobacco shows the same industry tactics are now being used to hook a new generation on nicotine, Ms Harding says.
“This isn’t harm reduction – this is harm transfer.”
“It’s time the Government stopped treating it as a less harmful alternative and started treating it as the separate public health threat it is.”
Aotearoa once led the world in tobacco control, Ms Harding says.
“Now, we are watching it slip away.”
The Foundation continues to call for tighter restrictions around vapes.
It wants to see the Government halt the establishment of further Specialist Vape Retailers (SVRs), ban the sale of vapes in general retailer stores, limit the nicotine content of all vape products to 20 mg/mL, and re-look at the prescription model.

Auckland lawyer David Campbell has been appointed the 34th President of the New Zealand Law Society Te Kāhui Ture o Aotearoa. His appointment was confirmed at the Law Society’s Council meeting earlier today.
Mr Campbell, a respected leader within the legal community, is a partner at Dentons and has served as Vice President of the Law Society Board since 2022. He also contributes to the wider community as a Trustee of the Spencer Mason Trust and was formerly the Chair of Te Tuhi Contemporary Art Trust. 
He will formally take up the role on 27 March 2026, succeeding current President Frazer Barton, who will complete his three-year term.
Mr Campbell says the aspect of being a lawyer that he most enjoys is solving problems for others. He has been actively involved with the Law Society since 2014 and says he is humbled to take on the presidency.
“This is a pivotal governance role for an organisation that not only regulates over 17,000 lawyers but also advocates for the rule of law and access to justice, supports legal aid reform, and contributes to the health of our democracy,” said Mr Campbell.
“The Law Society is a kaitiaki of an exemplary legal profession – a guardian of standards, ethics, and public trust.”
Mr Campbell says his focus will be on maintaining the Law Society’s core responsibilities while continuing to strengthen its wider contribution to the profession and society. 
“Key is ensuring the Law Society continues to perform its regulatory function well – that’s our obligation under the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act. At the same time, we need to keep building on the areas where we already do strong work, such as law reform and advocacy. These functions provide enormous value to society, and it’s essential we maintain and strengthen that contribution.
“Also important is one of the most significant changes at the Law Society in recent years which is the reform of our Representative division. The introduction of a membership subscription has been a particularly positive step – we represent all of the profession, but our more than 10,000 lawyer members are those who truly value what the Law Society offers.”
Mr Campbell says he will be taking on the presidency at a time when the Law Society is in a strong position, with a clear path forward.
“Everything is moving in the right direction. We’re in a state of steady, incremental improvement – and that’s exactly where we need to be.”

New Zealand Treasury – Interim Financial Statements of the Government of New Zealand for the three months ended 30 September 2025

Source: The New Zealand Treasury

Thursday, 6 November 2025 – The Interim Financial Statements of the Government of New Zealand for the three months ended 30 September 2025 were released by the Treasury today. The September results are reported against forecasts based on the Budget Economic and Fiscal Update 2025 (BEFU 2025), published on 22 May 2025, and the results for the same period for the previous year.

The key fiscal indicators for the three months ended 30 September 2025 were mixed compared to forecast. The Government’s main operating indicator, the operating balance before gains and losses excluding ACC (OBEGALx), showed a deficit of $4.0 billion. This deficit was $0.5 billion larger than forecast. Whereas net core Crown debt was lower than forecast by $5.2 billion at $184.7 billion, or 42.3% of GDP.

Core Crown tax revenue, at $29.1 billion, was $0.5 billion (1.6%) lower than forecast. The largest variances related to other individuals’ tax and source deductions at $0.3 billion (12.1%) and $0.1 billion (1.0%) lower than forecast respectively.

Core Crown expenses, at $36.4 billion, were in line with forecast.

The OBEGALx was a deficit of $4.0 billion, $0.5 billion more than the forecast deficit. When including the revenue and expenses of ACC, the OBEGAL deficit was $4.1 billion, $0.2 billion higher than the forecast deficit.

The operating balance surplus of $0.8 billion was better than the forecast deficit of $2.4 billion. The variance in OBEGAL mentioned above was more than offset by valuation movements, particularly on financial instruments. Net gains on financial instruments were $4.9 billion stronger than forecast, driven by New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZS Fund) and ACC’s investment portfolio reflecting favourable market conditions. However, this was partially offset by net losses on non-financial instruments of $1.5 billion, largely owing to the net actuarial loss on the ACC outstanding claims liability of $1.7 billion.

The core Crown residual cash deficit of $1.4 billion was $1.6 billion lower than forecast. While net operating cash outflows were $0.9 billion higher than forecast, net core Crown capital cash outflows were $2.6 billion lower than forecast. The net core Crown capital cashflows variance to forecast was largely driven by lower than forecast net purchase of investments.

Net core Crown debt at $184.7 billion (42.3% of GDP) was $5.2 billion lower than forecast. The variance was driven by the combination of the favourable variance in net core Crown debt at 30 June 2025 which resulted in a better starting position for the current year, along with the lower than forecast residual cash deficit during the year, as mentioned above.

Gross debt at $213.2 billion (48.9% of GDP) was $7.9 billion lower than forecast. Similarly with net core Crown debt, the majority of this variance comes from a more favourable starting position. The remaining variance predominately relates to lower than forecast issuances of Euro Commercial Paper.

Net worth at $190.0 billion (43.6% of GDP) was $9.4 billion favourable to forecast. In addition to the operating balance variance discussed above, the better net worth starting position from the 30 June 2025 year also contributed.

Storm-damaged Andersons Floodway Bridge, rebuilt and ready for traffic

Andersons Floodway Bridge on State Highway 63 in Marlborough is now open to traffic, just over four months after it was severely damaged during a severe winter storm.

The new, more resilient structure is a significant upgrade on its predecessor that was deemed beyond repair after it was washed out during heavy rain in June.

Mark Owen, Regional Manager Lower North Island/Top of the South, says the project is a real success story for the region, with local contractors completing the work in record time.

“Building a new bridge quickly without compromising quality was the priority – we managed to do that by working on smart solutions with local contractors.”

“By using the design and construct model our contractors were able to begin construction on the new bridge immediately using generic bridge details that were refined as required as construction progressed, saving time and money.”  

Mr Owen says the local community also played a key role in helping the project progress at pace.

“Landowners were accommodating of us using their land for the temporary bypass, local utilities companies were on board early and promptly relocated lines and cables and Marlborough District Council urgently produced a flood model that informed the design of the new bridge.” 

“It’s been a real team effort from the outset, through to project completion.” 

Work on the replacement bridge began on 18 August, with a temporary road and minor detour in place to keep traffic moving safely while construction was underway.

The new, longer bridge was built on site with a deep-piled foundation and a wider precast concrete deck, improving both resilience and efficiency. 

As part of the upgrade, new barriers were installed on the approaches to the bridge, and these, along with the wider deck, mean the new bridge is much safer for traffic. 

Mr Owen said the support from road users during this work is appreciated by everyone involved.

“We know State Highway 63 is a critical route in Marlborough, and we acknowledge the Andersons Floodway Bridge project, along with other recovery and repair works on the highway, have caused disruption and travel delays for drivers.”

“Our contractors appreciate the patience and cooperation the public have shown while the work has been underway. But the good news is we now have a new improved, and more flood-protected bridge open just in time for Christmas,” Mr Owen says.

Mr Owen says work to rebuild a section of State Highway 63 on the eastern side of the township is making good progress, and recovery work to repair significant scouring damage west of the Waihopai Bridge is now underway.

“From 17 November contractors will also begin work to rebuild a 200-metre section of the state highway, west of the Waihopai Bridge. This will involve removing the top layer of the road, laying new gravel, and then applying new chipseal. The end result will be a much stronger stretch of highway,” Mr Owen says.

SH63 West of Waihopai Bridge works schedule:

  • Now until Friday, 19 December, 7 am – 6 pm weekdays.
  • No work on weekends
  • Stop/Go traffic management and 30km/h temporary speed limit. Expect ten-minute delays.
  • A 30 km/h temporary speed limit will be in place outside work hours.
  • These works are weather-dependent, and schedules may change. 

SH63 East of the Wairau Valley township:

  • Work to rebuild a 1.3 kilometre section of State Highway 63, on the Renwick side of the Wairau Valley township continues until Friday, 12 December, 7 am – 6 pm Monday to Saturday.
  • Stop/go traffic management and a 30 km/h temporary speed limit will remain in place 24/7. Expect ten-minute delays.
  • These works are weather-dependent, and schedules may change.

Driver Advice:

  • Stop/Go traffic management remains in place at multiple locations on State Highway 63 as other minor storm damage repairs are completed.
  • Expect short delays while this work is underway.

Please follow all traffic management, temporary speed limits, and instructions from road crews. They are there to keep everyone safe

New Zealand Police and Customs have congratulated five new handlers and their detector dogs on their graduation from the Police Dog Training Centre (DTC) in Trentham today.

The teams have completed their training to be qualified as operational Detector Dog Teams and three of the handlers are first time operators.

Two officers from Fiji Police and one from Samoa Police, one officer from Fiji Revenue and Customs Service and one from Tonga Revenue and Customs have proudly marched out at Trentham today.

National Coordinator Police Dogs and Pacific Detector Dog Programme (PDDP) Manager, Inspector Todd Southall, congratulated all the teams.

“These handlers and their dogs have trained here in Upper Hutt for eight weeks and now the rest of the training is completed back in their own jurisdictions under the watchful eyes of advisors from the PDDP,” he says.

New Zealand Police and Customs have a close partnership with our Pacific enforcement partners.  The PDDP is part of a commitment to increase safety across the region.

New Zealand Customs’ Deputy Chief Executive – International and Governance Joe Cannon said when fully trained, these detector dog and handler teams will be deployed to perform both border security and community policing.

“Today marks a significant milestone in our shared mission to protect Pacific borders and communities.

The graduation of five new detector dog teams boosts our region’s capability to detect drugs, cash and firearms, and strengthens our collective response to transnational, serious and organised crime,” Mr Cannon said.“The DTC has been working with Pacific countries for much longer than the PDDP has been running, Inspector Southall says.

“About 20 years ago we started to work with some of the Pacific countries – initially the Cook Islands, Samoa, and Tonga, then later Fiji and now French Polynesia and New Caledonia has been added this year”, says Inspector Southall.

The PDDP officially started in 2018 and is jointly managed by New Zealand Police and Customs. It is funded through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Pharmac consults on changes to simplify biologic medicine funding criteria

Source: PHARMAC

Pharmac is proposing changes to the Special Authority and Hospital Indication Restrictions criteria for four biologic medicines: infliximab, etanercept, secukinumab, and rituximab.

These medicines are used to treat a range of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The proposed changes aim to reduce administrative workload for clinicians, improve consistency across biologic treatments, and respond to feedback received during previous consultation.

Special Authority and Hospital Indication Restrictions are funding tools used by Pharmac to ensure medicines are targeted to those who would benefit most. They set out specific clinical criteria that must be met before a person can get a funded medicine.

“We’ve listened to feedback from clinicians, patient advocacy groups, and others,” says Pharmac’s Acting Manager of Pharmaceutical Funding, Claire Pouwels. “This proposal is about making the criteria easier to use and more consistent.”

The proposed changes include:

  • Extending how long a Special Authority approval lasts
  • Allowing any relevant health practitioner to apply for funding
  • Removing renewal requirements for some conditions
  • Aligning language and removing outdated clinical references

Pharmac previously consulted on changes to the access criteria for adalimumab in 2021. That consultation was well received, and many stakeholders asked for similar updates to other biologic medicines.

“These proposed changes will make a difference for people who rely on these medicines,” says Pouwels. “Fewer administrative steps means less waiting, fewer treatment disruptions, and more consistent access to care.

“We encourage anyone with an interest in these medicines to share their views.”

From 6 November 2025, Pharmac will begin public consultation on the proposed changes. Feedback will be open until 5pm on 27 November 2025.

Pukunui chicks bring hope for survival

Date:  06 November 2025

Nest surveying began in September and so far, the Department of Conservation’s Pukunui Recovery Team have found 12 nests, 35 eggs and five chicks.

DOC Rakiura Operations Manager Jennifer Ross says it’s a promising start to the season and potentially a big boost for pukunui recovery efforts as there are only an estimated 105 left (not including the new chicks) – making them the rarest and most threatened wading bird in the world.

“To see these little chicks emerge brings hope that we can save them from extinction.”

However, there’s no guarantee all eggs will hatch or that the chicks and their parents will survive as they are extremely vulnerable to predation by feral cats.

“In previous years, we’ve lost around 40-50 adult birds to predation, and last year, we lost around 20 adults but gained about 24 chicks,” she says.

There’s cautious optimism that more birds will survive as feral cat numbers have been heavily reduced in an aerial 1080 predator control operation in August covering 40,000 hectares of Rakiura National Park. This included vital pukunui breeding habitat along the Tin Range.

“We are thrilled as camera monitoring in the area has revealed zero feral cat detections for at least six weeks following the operation, however, they will eventually reinvade from areas where 1080 wasn’t applied,” Jennifer says.

“The main measure of success will be the pukunui flock count in April, and also the long-term population trends. Our aim is to grow the population to at least 300 birds by 2035.”

Nest surveying efforts have had a boost in funding this year from the International Visitor Levy. This is enabling the team to more extensively search breeding sites.

“They don’t breed in one big group, they are very widely distributed, so it’s hard to predict where their nests will be or find them as they blend very well into the alpine vegetation,” she says.

“This season, the team have been excited to find a few mystery male birds that we’ve banded at flocking sites but hadn’t seen at breeding sites. This is particularly critical as we estimate there are less than 30 males left. The males play an important role in incubating eggs at night, while females incubate during the day.”

The team is very careful to minimise any disturbance to the birds when nest surveying.

“It’s important when we’re out naturing we keep disturbance to a minimum. Once we are out of the way, pukunui always quickly settle back onto the nest. They aren’t scared away by our activity.”

In addition to nest surveying, the team manages a network of nearly 500 traps. They’ve caught 20 feral cats since May, and just one in the operational area since 1080 was applied.

“Just one feral cat has the potential to wipe out multiple nests in quick succession.”

Before predators were introduced to New Zealand, pukunui bred throughout the Southern Alps, but they now only breed on the Rakiura mountain tops – earning them a reputation as the “underbirds”.

“It’s been tough weather conditions for the birds lately – especially with the recent storm. The chicks will have been spending a lot of their time sheltering under the wings of their parents.”

From January onwards, the survivors will journey off the mountains to Rakiura beaches and Awarua Bay to gather and forage in groups. New birds will then be banded so their survival can be monitored.

“For birds that have fledged, it’s a rite of passage to make their way down and a bit of a test run for their flying abilities.”

Pharmac performing well against Minister’s expectations

Associate Health Minister David Seymour welcomes the summary report on Pharmac’s progress against his 2024/25 Letter of Expectations (LoE).

“For many New Zealanders, funding for pharmaceuticals is life or death, or the difference between a life of pain and suffering or living freely,” Mr Seymour says.

“My expectation is that Pharmac should have strong processes so patients, their families, and clinicians, can have a say in decisions. This is part of the ACT-National Coalition Agreement.

“My expectation is also clear that Pharmac should publish measurable performance metrics to increase transparency. We are creating a culture at Pharmac which keeps consumers in the loop, because that’s important to them. 

“It’s clear Pharmac’s culture is changing. Last week Pharmac published their first 90-day report on progress against the five-year Reset Programme. In July, they published a summary of progress on implementing the recommendations of the 2022 Independent Pharmac Review. In March they published the Consumer Engagement Workshop Report. The feedback from consumer advocates on this approach is positive.” 

The summary report outlines Pharmac’s progress across 21 expectations in the 2024/25 LoE. As of October 2025, 8 expectations have been fully completed including:

Proactively publishing material of public interest, and establishing a monthly consumer update forum. This forum gives consumers the opportunity to hear from Pharmac’s Senior Leadership Team and provide feedback following independent engagement workshops.
Accelerated efforts to collaborate with health sector partners, including the establishment of the Health Sector Implementation Group and the Sector Equity Working Group.
Regularly reporting to track organisational culture and stakeholder sentiment, supported by quarterly and annual performance measures.
Continued review of statutory objectives and functions, with proactive engagement on legislative updates and medical technology procurement.
Strengthened consumer participation in decision-making, regular consultation with advisory groups, and improved transparency of clinical advice records.

“For the first time Pharmac has its own Minister. While still a work in progress, for the first time in years Pharmac is genuinely moving in the right direction. For example, five years ago many of the Medicines Summit attendees would have been picketing outside Pharmac. This year, they were having genuine conversations with each other and Pharmac’s leadership about how to deliver the best service for Kiwis,” Mr Seymour says. 

“The Government is doing its part. Last year we allocated Pharmac its largest ever budget of $6.294 billion over four years, and a $604 million uplift to give Pharmac the financial support it needs to carry out its functions – negotiating the best deals for medicine for New Zealanders.”
