AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoElection 2026: National and Labour remain deadlocked on 28% each, with a fresh leaders’ debate doing little to clarify who will form the next government. Opportunity could hold the balance of power. Households and housing: The economy grew 0.2% in the June quarter, but household disposable income fell, consumption was flat and inflation reached 4.1%. Home values dropped 1.5% in the three months to September, fuelling questions about whether slower growth is the new normal. Energy: Genesis has opened a 100-megawatt battery at Huntly, able to store enough electricity to power 60,000 homes for two hours. The $130 million project came in below budget. Police: Recruit numbers are heading for a near-record year, with 720 to 730 expected to graduate, but the Government will miss its target of adding 500 officers before the November election.
