Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the Government has been taking the problem of economic growth seriously even though inflation is stagnant, the cost of living isn't improving and rents are still increasing...all things Luxon promised to sort out before he was electedThe debate continues on Elon Musk's "salute"...sort of.

We'll show you tonightBishop Mariann Edgar Budde made a direct plea to President Trump during a sermon at the National Cathedral's interfaith Service of Prayer for the Nation, a plea that seems to echo the words of Jesus to look after the widows and orphans and those most vulnerable.
