Checkpoint Air NZ half year profit down 39%, blaming inflation
Tonight: Buckle-up because air fares could be about to take off. Air New Zealand's profits are down a whopping 39%; it's blaming inflation and fuel costs. The supermarket that's counting up not down; the rat bodies are piling up at the Dunedin store that's been closed almost two weeks. If you're waiting for an Auckland commuter train tonight, get comfy; you could be a while; KiwiRail's here to explain why. The state highway closure that could see some Northland businesses on the road to nowhere. And all this talk of tipping has tipped some of you over the edge.
