THE GREENS WANT THE GOVERNMENT IN THE SUPERMARKET BUSINESS; NATIONAL IS PROMISING TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR MORE FIRST-HOME BUYERS ` THE RIVAL ELECTION PITCHES TARGETING YOUR POCKET. ACT TAKES AIM AT NET ZERO, UNVEILING PLANS TO TEAR UP THE ZERO CARBON ACT AND RE-SET NEW ZEALAND'S CLIMATE TARGETS. AND THE SPRINGBOKS BREAK THE SOWETO CURSE WITH A HARD-FOUGHT WIN OVER THE ALL BLACKS. CAPTIONS BY KATE PERCIVAL AND KRISTIN WILLIAMS. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2026 NAU MAI HAERE MAI, WELCOME TO THREE NEWS. TWO PARTIES ARE PROMISING BIG CHANGES TO TWO OF THE BIGGEST COSTS FACING KIWIS ` THE GREENS WANT A STATE-OWNED SUPERMARKET CHAIN, WHILE NATIONAL WOULD WIDEN ACCESS TO 5% DEPOSIT HOME LOANS. HERE IS SENIOR REPORTER JULIET SPEEDY WITH THE DETAILS. THE WEEKLY SHOP AND THE LIFETIME PURCHASE ` TWO VERY DIFFERENT BILLS HITTING KIWI POCKETS, AND TODAY, TWO VERY DIFFERENT POLITICAL PRESCRIPTIONS. THE GREENS WANT TO GO WHERE NO NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT HAS GONE BEFORE ` INTO THE SUPERMARKET BUSINESS. KIWIMART WILL BE A SUPERMARKET OWNED BY NEW ZEALANDERS FOR NEW ZEALANDERS. THEIR KIWIMART PROPOSAL WOULD FORCE THE SALE OF AT LEAST 120 EXISTING SUPERMARKETS AND DISTRIBUTION CAPACITY INTO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, CREATING A NEW GOVERNMENT-OWNED COMPETITOR TO FOODSTUFFS AND WOOLWORTHS. THE GREENS SAY BREAKING THE SUPERMARKET DUOPOLY WOULD ULTIMATELY BRING PRICES DOWN. NEW ZEALANDERS PAY SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE PRICES FOR GROCERIES IN THE WORLD. OUR FOOD SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED BY BIG BUSINESS ACTING IN THEIR OWN INTERESTS. BUT BUYING INTO THE GROCERY BUSINESS WOULDN'T COME CHEAP. THE PARLIAMENTARY LIBRARY ESTIMATES ACQUIRING 120 STORES AND TWO DISTRIBUTION CENTRES WOULD COST $1.3B, WITH ANOTHER $1.5B NEEDED TO GET KIWIMART COMMERCIALLY UP AND RUNNING. IT'S KIWI BUILD WITH FOOD. KIWI BUILD UNDER LABOUR LEFT US WITH NO HOUSES. THIS POLICY COULD LEAVE US WITH NO FOOD. AND WHILE THE GREENS ARE PROMISING HELP FILLING THE PANTRY, NATIONAL WAS PROMISING HELP GETTING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. TODAY, WE'RE ANNOUNCING THAT A RE-ELECTED NATIONAL GOVERNMENT WILL WIDEN ACCESS TO 5% DEPOSITS BY INCREASING THE INCOME CAP UNDER THE FIRST HOME LOAN SCHEME TO $300,000. THE FIRST HOME LOAN SCHEME CURRENTLY ALLOWS ELIGIBLE BUYERS TO PURCHASE WITH A DEPOSIT OF JUST 5%, BUT THE INCOME CAPS ARE $95,000 FOR A SINGLE BUYER WITH NO DEPENDENTS AND $150,000 FOR MULTIPLE BUYERS OR A SINGLE BUYER WITH DEPENDENTS. NATIONAL WANTS ONE CAP ` LIFTING IT TO 300,000. THE REALITY IS THAT THOSE CAPS HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH THE REALITIES OF TODAY'S HOUSING MARKET OR TODAY'S INCOMES. WE'RE EXPECTING THOUSANDS MORE, UH, INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES AND APPLICANTS TO USE THE SCHEME. NOT GOING TO PUT A PRECISE NUMBER ON IT. NATIONAL SAYS IT WOULD OPEN THE INITIATIVE TO PEOPLE CURRENTLY LOCKED OUT, DESPITE STILL STRUGGLING TO PULL TOGETHER A STANDARD 20% DEPOSIT. LET'S JUST CHECK THAT IT'S AFFORDABLE, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY NO NEW TAXES, YOU HAVE TO SHOW HOW YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING. DIFFERENT PRESCRIPTIONS FOR TWO HOUSEHOLD COSTS AS THE CAMPAIGN BATTLE INCREASINGLY TURNS TO WHO CAN LEAVE KIWIS WITH MORE IN THEIR POCKETS. ACT IS TAKING ANOTHER RUN AT OUR CLIMATE LAWS, PROMISING TO REPEAL THE ZERO CARBON ACT. THE PARTY SAYS THE COUNTRY'S CLIMATE APPROACH IS DRIVING UP COSTS FOR KIWI HOMES AND BUSINESSES. IT'S PROMISING TO RESTORE SUBSIDIES OF UP TO 90% TO SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST EMITTERS. CARLOS NORTON REPORTS. DAVID SEYMOUR PEDALLING HIS WAY TO ACT'S CLIMATE POLICY ON HIS E-BIKE BEFORE RIPPING OFF THE BAND-AID. SCRAP NET ZERO AND REPEAL THE ZERO CARBON ACT. INSTEAD OF A LEGALLY BINDING NET ZERO TARGET BY 2050, ACT WANTS NEW ZEALAND'S EMISSIONS CAP TO BE FAIRER IN RELATION TO HOW MUCH WE PRODUCE. BUT ALL THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF WE CONTINUE TO PURSUE THEM, IS WE WILL IMPOVERISH NEW ZEALANDERS, HOUSEHOLDS AND BUSINESSES AND FARMERS. IT'S LARGELY A REVIVAL OF ACT'S 2023 CLIMATE POLICY, WHICH NEVER MADE IT INTO LAW. THE PARTY ALSO WANTS TO PROVIDE RELIEF TO LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO ARE DISADVANTAGED BY OVERSEAS COMPETITION, AND THE MONEY RAISED FROM CARBON AUCTIONS? ACT WANTS THAT BACK IN TAXPAYER POCKETS. KIWIS PAYING FOR THEIR EMISSIONS UNDER THE EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME SHOULDN'T BE PROVIDING A POT OF MONEY FOR POLITICIANS TO SPEND ON PET PROJECTS. SEYMOUR ALSO SAYS THAT UNLESS A BETTER PARIS AGREEMENT DEAL IS FOSTERED, ACT WOULD CAMPAIGN FOR NEW ZEALAND TO LEAVE. PARIS NEEDS TO CHANGE, AND REFLECT THE TRUE SCIENCE THAT METHANE IS DIFFERENT FROM CO2. IF THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO BE REASONABLE, MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT PULLING OUT. BUT NATIONAL SAYS LEAVING IS A HARD NO. PARIS IS TOUGH, BUT ACTUALLY IT'S IN NEW ZEALAND'S ECONOMIC INTEREST TO STAY IN PARIS. AND LAWYERS FOR CLIMATE ACTION SAYS ACT'S POLICY COULD PUT NEW ZEALAND AT ODDS WITH ITS INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENTS. AND THE ACT POLICY ALSO` IT SORT OF VERY CONVENIENTLY MAKES NO MENTION OF A NUMBER OF KEY FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE, INCLUDING WITH THE EU AND THE UK. AND THOSE FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS REQUIRE NEW ZEALAND TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT THE PARIS AGREEMENT. CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO HAVE AN ENORMOUS IMPACT ON OUR JOBS AND OUR WEALTH AND OUR LIVELIHOOD IF WE STICK OUR HEADS IN THE SAND AND REFUSE TO ACT. ...RAISING THE QUESTION OF WHETHER ACT WILL ACT. BUT FOR NOW.... THANKS, FOLKS. TRY NOT TO FALL OFF NOW. SEYMOUR'S HOPING ACT CAN KEEP ITS CLIMATE POLICY AND THE PARTY ITSELF ON A STEADY COURSE THROUGH TO POLLING DAY. WINSTON PETERS SAYS HE'LL CAMPAIGN ON RESTRICTING SUPERANNUATION ENTITLEMENTS TO NEW ZEALAND CITIZENS. CURRENTLY PEOPLE WHO HOLD A RESIDENT VISA CAN QUALIFY FOR THE PENSION IF THEY'VE LIVED HERE FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS. THE NEW ZEALAND FIRST LEADER CALLS THE COST OF SUPERANNUATION FOR MIGRANTS 'A TICKING TIME BOMB'. HE WANTS THE POLICY IN PLACE WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TOP NEGOTIATORS, STEVE WITKOFF AND JARED KUSHNER, HAVE MET WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN IN A RENEWED EFFORT TO END THE WAR. THE PAIR ARE IN MOSCOW BEFORE HEADING TO KYIV TOMORROW. BOTH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE HAVE AGREED TO A PAUSE IN FIGHTING WHILE THE TALKS TAKE PLACE. CHANNEL FOUR'S HARRY FAWCETT REPORTS. VLADIMIR PUTIN MAY HAVE DECLARED A THREE-DAY HALT TO STRIKES ON KYIV, BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER ANOTHER HEAVY ROUND OF OVERNIGHT ATTACKS. THIS WAS THE SOUTHERN PORT OF ODESSA. AND THIS WAS MYKOLAIV. PUTIN SAYS THE WEEKEND PAUSE IS TO FACILITATE THE VISIT TO BOTH NATIONS OF THE U.S. ENVOYS JARED KUSHNER AND STEVE WITKOFF. TODAY THEY ARRIVED IN MOSCOW, GREETED BY PRESIDENT PUTIN'S ENVOY, KIRILL DMITRIEV, AHEAD OF TALKS WITH THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF. WHILE THEY WERE EN ROUTE, PRESIDENT TRUMP, STILL STRUGGLING TO END THE IRAN CONFLICT BEFORE NOVEMBER'S MIDTERM ELECTIONS, WAS IN NO MOOD TO LOWER EXPECTATIONS OF A POTENTIAL FOREIGN POLICY WIN. ARE THEY BRINGING WITH THEM NEW PROPOSALS` NO. THEY'RE BRINGING WITH THEM A PROPOSAL TO END THE WAR. BECAUSE I ENDED EIGHT WARS. PRESIDENT PUTIN TODAY MEETING HIS FOREIGN MINISTER AND ELECTION CANDIDATES OF HIS RULING PARTY BEFORE TALKS WITH THE U.S. ENVOYS. THE OFFICIAL MESSAGE THAT THERE WAS NO TALK OF NEW IDEAS, NO CHANGE TO HIS TERRITORIAL DEMANDS, BUT THE REALITY ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE WAS NOT IN KYIV'S FAVOUR. JUST YESTERDAY, RUSSIA DEMONSTRATING KYIV'S DWINDLING AIR DEFENCES WITH A DIRECT ATTACK ON UKRAINE'S INTELLIGENCE HEADQUARTERS IN THE CENTRE OF THE CAPITAL. NONETHELESS, SIGNIFICANT FOR UKRAINE THAT AMERICA'S TOP NEGOTIATORS WILL TOMORROW, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE TRUMP TOOK OFFICE LAST YEAR, VISIT KYIV IN PERSON. THIS EVENING, WITKOFF KUSHNER AND DMITRIEV ` THREE MEN WHO KNOW EACH OTHER WELL BY NOW ` PICTURED LEAVING A MOSCOW RESTAURANT, HEADING AT LAST TO MEET THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT. WELCOME, THOUGH, THEIR FIRST TRIP TO KYIV TOMORROW WILL DOUBTLESS BE, UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR LOOKING ON IN SOME TREPIDATION, WONDERING JUST WHAT MIGHT BE AGREED TO BEHIND THE FORBIDDING WALLS OF THE KREMLIN. THE U.S. MILITARY SAYS IT'S HIT THREE IRANIAN OIL TANKERS AFTER TWO AMERICAN WARSHIPS WERE TARGETED WITH BALLISTIC MISSILES. THE PENTAGON CLAIMS TWO OF THE IRANIAN VESSELS WERE PERMANENTLY DISABLED, AND A THIRD WAS DESTROYED. THE LATEST ATTACKS COME NEARLY A WEEK AFTER THE U.S. AND IRAN RESUMED STRIKES FOLLOWING A MONTH OF RELATIVE CALM. TWO PILOTS HAVE DIED AFTER A GREEK MILITARY JET CRASHED AT AN AIR SHOW NEAR ATHENS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WATCHED IN HORROR AS THE JET HIT THE GROUND WHILE PERFORMING A LOW ALTITUDE MANOEUVRE. THE AIR FORCE HAS DECLARED THREE DAYS OF MOURNING IN THE WAKE OF THE CRASH. TWO MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESCUED IN NEPAL, 10 DAYS AFTER MASSIVE FLOODS SWEPT THROUGH THE REGION. A CHINESE MAN WAS PULLED ALIVE FROM A HYDROPOWER PLANT, JUST 24 HOURS AFTER TWO MEN WERE DRAMATICALLY RESCUED FROM ANOTHER TUNNEL. A WOMAN (64) WAS RESCUED FROM HER FLOOD HIT HOME, WHICH HAD BEEN BURIED IN THICK SLUDGE. NEPAL'S PRIME MINISTER SAID HER SURVIVAL STORY HAS GIVEN HOPE TO THE ENTIRE NATION. DOC RANGERS IN LOWER HUTT HAVE SPENT THE DAY TRYING TO COAX A LEOPARD SEAL BACK OUT TO SEA. CROWDS HAVE GATHERED TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE MAMMAL THAT'S BEEN BASKING IN THE SUN ON PETONE BEACH SINCE YESTERDAY. DOC SAYS IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE SEALS WHO ARE FOUND AROUND ANTARCTICA TO COME ASHORE HERE FOR A REST. STAY WITH US. STILL TO COME ON THREE NEWS ` A NEW OASIS DOCUMENTARY GETS A LONG STANDING OVATION AT THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL. AND WE ARE LIVE IN JOHANNESBURG AS THE REALITY OF THE ALL BLACKS' SECOND STRAIGHT LOSS TO SOUTH AFRICA SINKS IN. THREE NEWS THE SPORT WITH SUZUKI ON THE MOVE WITH THE SILVER FERNS. THE ALL BLACKS' HOPES OF A SERIES WIN AGAINST THE SPRINGBOKS HAVE BEEN DASHED, WITH THE HOME SIDE CLAIMING A 29-24 WIN. BOTH SIDES COULDN'T BE SEPARATED AT HALF-TIME, BUT BY THE FINAL QUARTER, THE ALL BLACKS COULDN'T STOP A SWING OF SPRINGBOK MOMENTUM. MITCH REDMAN JOINS US NOW FROM JOHANNESBURG ` AND MITCH, HOW DID THE ALL BLACKS RESPOND TO THAT ONE? IT WAS EVIDENT LAST NIGHT THAT THE LOSS HURT A LOT MORE THAN THE WEEK PRIOR. THEY WERE IN THE PRIME POSITION TO TAKE THAT GAME HALFWAY THROUGH THE SECOND HALF, BUT THEN JUST CAME A TIDAL WAVE OF SPRINGBOK PRESSURE. THE ALL BLACKS DOTTED DOWN ON FULL TIME, BUT IT WAS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. IN THE END, THEY WERE SIMPLY OUTPLAYED BY THE SPRINGBOKS. OH, IT'S FRUSTRATING BECAUSE... THERE WAS A LOT OF` A LOT OF EFFORT OUT THERE. THE ALL BLACKS GOT OFF TO A SHAKY START, BUT THEN NERVES SOON SETTLED ` AFTER THE SPRINGBOKS WERE REDUCED TO 14 MEN FOR A DELIBERATE KNOCK-ON, ARDIE SAVEA POUNCED. CHARGING INSIDE THE FIVE! SAVEA'S IN! AFTER CONCEDING BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK PENALTIES, THE ALL BLACKS WERE MADE TO PAY OUT WIDE. DELINDA GETS IT AWAY FOR THE SPRINGBOKS! ARDIE SAVEA, WHO WAS SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF A CAPTAIN'S KNOCK, CROSSED FOR A DOUBLE ` BUT THEN DISASTER STRUCK. SO NOW IT'S TIME FOR WALLACE SITITI TO COME ON. AH, YEAH, IT'S HIS SHOULDER. CERTAINLY` I'M NOT SURE WHETHER IT'S DISLOCATED, OR, UH... YEAH, HE CERTAINLY WON'T BE TRAVELLING TO THE STATES. FROM THERE, THE FIRST HALF BECAME FRANTIC. THERE WERE LINEBREAKS AND LUCKY BREAKS, PENALTY TRIES, AND A SEND-OFF. MASSIVE SCRUM ` REINACH TRYING TO GET HIS HANDS ON HIM. PENALTY TRY. 12-12 AT THE BREAK. WILL JORDAN WAS FIRST TO CROSS OVER IN THE SECOND HALF, BREAKING THE DEADLOCK. WHAT A BALL THAT IS! WILL JORDAN! BUT THEN ERRORS STARTED TO CREEP IN ` THE SCRUM BEGAN TO CRUMBLE, AND THE SPRINGBOKS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED SERVE ` LEROY CARTER CAUGHT OUT ON DEFENCE FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THE NIGHT. YOU KNOW, BIG FELLA MISSES A TACKLE AROUND THE FRINGE, AND NO ONE NOTICES YOU. YOUR WINGER MISSES A TACKLE OUT WIDE, AND THEY SCORE. AND SO, UM... OH LOOK, I FEEL FOR FOR LEROY. HE'S A` HE'S A BLOODY GOOD MAN. THE TURNING POINT FOR DAVE RENNIE CAME IN THE 63RD MINUTE. THE BIG MOMENT TODAY WAS WILL JORDAN KICKING IT DEAD. THAT'S JUST UNLUCKY. IT WAS A GOOD OPTION. BUT YOU COME BACK FOR A SCRUM WHICH IS A PENALTY TO A MAUL WHERE THEY DRIVE HOWEVER MANY METRES TO SCORE. THE ALL BLACKS LOOKING LIKE A TEAM OUT OF PUFF WHILE THE SPRINGBOKS APPEARED TO BE POSSESSED. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE. MALCOLM MARX! MARX SCORES! WE LOVE SCRUMS, WE REALLY LOVE SCRUMS, BUT WE LOVE MAULING AS WELL. DISCIPLINE HURT THE ALL BLACKS AT THE DEATH ` AN EXTRA CONVERSION AND PENALTY ENOUGH FOR THE SPRINGBOKS TO GET ACROSS THE LINE. THE ROOM'S PRETTY GUTTED. I JUST WALKED IN THERE BEFORE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF HEADS DOWN. WE'RE GETTING ON TO THE PLANE ` HOPEFULLY ME AND DAVE WILL HAVE A BEER. HIS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE BITTER, AND MINE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE SWEETER. THE SPRINGBOKS IN THE BOX SEAT HEADING TO BALTIMORE, WHILE THE ALL BLACKS HAVE TO GET EXCITED ABOUT CLAWING BACK A DRAW. AND, MITCH, ARDIE SAVEA WASN'T THE ONLY INJURY FOR THE ALL BLACKS LAST NIGHT? YEAR, UNFORTUNATELY THREE INJURIES IN TOTAL. QUINN TUPAEA'S INJURY WILL BE ASSESSED ONCE HE RETURNS TO NEW ZEALAND. THIS TOUR IS CERTAINLY STARTING TO TAKE ITS TOLL ON THE ALL BLACKS. THANK YOU. EARLIER ON, THE BLACK FERNS OVERCAME A LOPSIDED PENALTY COUNT AND MULTIPLE YELLOW CARDS TO PUT 52 POINTS ON THE SPRINGBOKS WOMEN'S SIDE. IN TOTAL, FOUR YELLOW CARDS WERE DISHED OUT TO THE BLACK FERNS AS THEY STRUGGLED TO KEEP THEIR DISCIPLINE. THE DISADVANTAGE IN NUMBERS DIDN'T SHOW ON THE SCORELINE, THOUGH. CAPTAIN JOSEPH WITH HER FOOTWORK. SO, THEY WIN ONE AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA AND OUT FROM UNDER. SITITI! STEPPING. BEAUTIFUL FOOTWORK FROM JUSTINE MCGREGOR. ALL THE WAY TO VAIPULU. OH, THAT IS SENSATIONAL PLAY FROM THE BLACK FERNS. THE BLACK FERNS GOING ON TO WIN 52-20. THEY NOW HEAD NORTH FOR THEIR EUROPEAN TOUR STARTING AGAINST FRANCE NEXT WEEKEND. THE WARRIORS WILL SOON FIND OUT IF THEY'LL WIN THE NRL'S MINOR PREMIERSHIP. IT WILL DEPEND ON WHETHER THE PENRITH PANTHERS BEAT THE WEST TIGERS BY AT LEAST TWO POINTS. THAT GAME HAS JUST KICKED OFF. LAST NIGHT THE WARRIORS CAPPED OFF A HISTORIC REGULAR SEASON WITH A NAIL-BITING 31-30 WIN OVER THE MANLY SEA EAGLES AT MT SMART STADIUM. GORDON FINDLATER HAS MORE. IT WAS UNCHARTERED TERRITORY FOR THE WARRIORS AT MT SMART. WAITING FOR THAT FULL-TIME HOOTER! WAITING! WAITING! (HOOTER BLARES) AND THE WARRIORS WIN THE GAME! THEIR 18TH OF THE REGULAR SEASON, A NEW CLUB RECORD. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS GROUP THAT THEY GET TO KNOW THAT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THEY'VE CREATED A BIT OF HISTORY. WE'VE GOT MORE WE WANT TO CREATE. AND THE FACT YESTERDAY'S MATCH AGAINST THE SEA EAGLES WENT RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE MIGHT HAVE BEEN JUST THE DRESS REHEARSAL THE WARRIORS NEEDED HEADING INTO THE PLAYOFF. HEARING IT FOR HARRIS. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) HE NAILS IT! DOES HE? YES! WE PRACTISED SOME THINGS DURING THE WEEK AROUND IF TEAMS ARE GOING FOR FIELD GOALS, WHAT WE WANT TO DO, IF WE WANT TO KICK ONE, WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AND I THOUGHT TO BE IN THAT MOMENT, TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY A WEEK GOING INTO PLAYOFFS IS AWESOME, AND REALLY PROUD OF THE TEAM. WITH LESS THAN 15 MINUTES TO PLAY, THE SEA EAGLES PUT THE WARRIORS IN A SPOT OF BOTHER. HERE GOES GARRETT! HE'S GOT WHEELS! HE'LL BE TOO QUICK! MANLY WILL HIT THE LEAD! THE WARRIORS WOULD FIGHT THEIR WAY BACK, THOUGH. THERE IT IS NOW FOR TUAUPIKI, WHO STRAIGHTENS UP! AND YES! THE HOME SIDE HAD ALL THE MOMENTUM FROM THEIR TWO TRIES DISALLOWED BEFORE CHANEL HARRIS-TAVITA'S LATE DROP GOAL TO WIN IT. WE'VE DONE THAT A LOT THIS YEAR. PROBABLY HAVEN'T LOOKED LIKELY SOMETIMES BUT FOUND A WAY. THE WARRIORS NOW LOOKING TO FIND A WAY AGAINST EITHER THE DOLPHINS OR ROOSTERS, WITH A DIRECT SPOT OF THE PRELIMINARY FINALS UP FOR GRABS. LIAM LAWSON WILL START TOMORROW'S ITALIAN GRAND PRIX FROM THE BACK OF THE GRID AFTER A NEW POWER UNIT WAS INSTALLED IN HIS RED BULL CAR. DESPITE NOT HAVING A LOT TO RACE FOR IN QUALIFYING, LAWSON WAS LEFT FRUSTRATED AFTER FAILING TO MAKE Q3. LAWSON WAS TASKED WITH CREATING A TOW TO HELP TEAMMATE MAX VERSTAPPEN. HOWEVER, WHEN THE FAVOUR WAS RETURNED LAWSON RAN INTO TRAFFIC AT TURN ONE. TO BE HONEST, WE SHOULD REALLY HAVE THE SPEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH ANYWAY. HAD QUITE GOOD SPEED YESTERDAY, AND THEN TODAY, WE'VE LOST SOME PERFORMANCE. SO, IN GENERAL, OBVIOUSLY, THE GOAL IS TO TRY AND HELP MAX IN Q3 AND NEVER GOT THERE. SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT WE PLANNED FOR, BUT I THINK OUR QUALLY WAS A BIT COMPROMISED ANYWAY. MCLAREN DRIVER OSCAR PIASTRI WAS LATER HANDED A THREE-PLACE GRID PENALTY FOR IMPEDING LAWSON. ALPINE'S PIERRE GASLY WILL START FROM POLE AFTER A SHOCK RESULT IN Q3. SCOTT MCLAUGHLIN IS HOPEFUL OF ENDING A MORE THAN TWO YEAR DROUGHT SINCE HIS LAST INDYCAR WIN AFTER QUALIFYING ON POLE FOR TOMORROW'S GRAND PRIX OF MONTEREY. AFTER SETTING THE FASTEST TIME IN PRACTICE, MCLAUGHLIN PRODUCED AGAIN IN QUALIFYING ` GOING JUST OVER ONE-HUNDREDTH OF A SECOND QUICKER THAN HIS NEAREST RIVAL TO CLAIM HIS 13TH CAREER INDYCAR POLE. GOTTA TRY AND TRANSITION THIS INTO A WIN. SO, YEAH, REALLY PROUD OF EVERYONE. YEAH, I'VE BEEN SAYING, LIKE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY WELL, ME AND HIM, AND IT'S BEEN COMING. THE SECRET SAUCE IS COMING. WE POLLED THE FIRST RACE OF THE YEAR, AND WE POLLED THE LAST RACE OF THE YEAR, SO HOPEFULLY IT BODES WELL FOR NEXT YEAR. IF MCLAUGHLIN CAN CONVERT HIS POLE INTO A VICTORY, HE WILL END A 735-DAY WINLESS DROUGHT. STILL TO COME ON THREE NEWS ` HOW THE WEATHER IS SHAPING UP FOR THE START OF THE WEEK.
