Description

National’s push to expand paid parental leave from 26 to 30 weeks over three years sparks debate, with plans to let parents share time off — a move critics say undermines work ethic, while supporters argue it’s essential for family wellbeing. The party’s long-term goal? 40 weeks — but that’s a big leap. Amid political heat, including backlash over an MP’s leave, the policy shift aims to balance family needs with fiscal responsibility, as costs mount and the government eyes surplus recovery.

Hospitals Rethink Digital Builds | New Zealand News

Two major hospital builds in Whangārei and Nelson are adopting a smarter, more integrated approach to their digital infrastructure — learning from Dunedin’s success by embedding tech specialists directly under the main construction contractor instead of reporting to Health New Zealand. This shift aims to avoid past tech pitfalls and deliver modern, reliable systems that meet current standards. Health New Zealand is also launching a pre-qualified supplier list to streamline future digital upgrades, signaling this model will likely become the norm for major hospital tech overhauls managed by the Centre for Digital Modernisation of Health.

Silver Ferns Face Jamaica in Crucial Netball Clash | New Zealand News

New Zealand’s netball team, the Silver Ferns, are in a high-stakes battle for Commonwealth Games glory as they prepare to face powerhouse Jamaica — a team that’s beaten them twice in the last two Games and is hungry for another medal. With only two teams advancing from each pool, this match could define New Zealand’s medal hopes. Meanwhile, Kiwi athletes are shining across the board: swimmer Hazel Ouwehand tackles the 100m butterfly, the men’s 3x3 basketball team eyes the semis against Cayman and Scotland, and gymnasts Daniel Stoddart and Courtney McGregor compete in the all-round finals. Sunday and Monday bring a packed schedule — from netball to boxing to bowls — as New Zealand’s athletes chase gold, silver, and bronze across the sporting spectrum.
