AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoElection Deadlock: New Zealand’s election has left National and Labour nearly tied on the party vote. Preliminary results give the National-led bloc 67 seats in a 131-seat Parliament, but nearly 400,000 special votes could change the balance. Christopher Luxon says his coalition has a path to govern; talks may take weeks, with centrist Opportunity’s seven seats potentially decisive. All Blacks: New Zealand beat Scotland 43-21 in Edinburgh, extending their unbeaten run. Jordie Barrett failed a head injury assessment and Will Jordan may have hurt his hamstring, putting both in doubt for the Wales match. Public Safety: Firefighters are urging the caretaker government to help resolve contract talks, warning planned strikes could create serious risks. Severe Weather: Thunderstorms brought more than 5,000 lightning strikes, flooding and flight disruptions, mostly across the North Island. Cricket: India edged New Zealand by four runs via DLS in rain-hit Wellington to take a 2-0 lead in the ODI series.
