Peter Sheppard: Coffee Producers Association Chair on the plans to expand coffee production in New Zealand

Bruce Patten: Loan Market Mortgage Advisor on the call for banks to slash home loan rates in the wake of the OCR cut
A mortgage advisor is joining the Finance Minister in urging banks to slash home loan rates. Nicola Willis is asking them to pass on “as much as possible” in the wake of the Reserve Bank cutting the Official Cash Rate to 2.25%. She says the banks have a stake in the economy, and passing the cuts on will make a significant difference. Loan Market Mortgage Advisor Bruce Patten told Mike Hosking the banks are holding onto some really good margins at the moment. He says he’d like to see them pass them on before Christmas – everyone needs it, so someone needs to make the move. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jacksen Love: Flamingo Scooters Co-Creater on the move to shift e-scooter riders to bike lanes
The Government's move to shift e-scooter users from the sidewalk to bike lanes is being hailed as a win for common-sense. ACC statistics for e-scooter injuries this year are close to surpassing $14 million. There were also more than two thousand claims for e-scooter related injuries in the first half of this year. Flamingo Scooters Co-Creator Jacksen Love told Mike Hosking it clears up confusion. He says bike lanes are clearly a lot safer than the road and helps keep footpaths clear for pedestrians.
