There's anticipation inflation will fall once again.

Economists are expecting another drop in the Consumer Price Index for the June quarter.

The annual rate dipped to four percent in the year to March, a vast improvement on the precarious peak of 7.3% seen in the year to June 2022.

The tributes continue for Norm Hewitt.

The Former All Black, Māori All Black, and Hurricane was fighting with Motor Neurone Disease before passing at the age of 55.

For most of his international career, Hewitt was head-to-head with Sean Fitzpatrick for the No. 2 jersey.

Fitzpatrick told Mike Hosking he has a massive respect for Hewitt, and the reason he got the best out of him is because Hewitt was hugely competitive.

He said he has a huge admiration for what he did, saying that he had some difficult times and to be able to turn that around and give back was huge.

Tenacious D's remaining Australasian shows have been cancelled.

After being presented a birthday cake and asked to make a wish, band member Kyle Gass said "don't miss Trump next time".

He's since apologised on social media and fellow band-mate Jack Black says he was blindsided by the comment.

Australian correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking Jack Black laughed at the comment.

He said that the sooner Black and his mate Gass get out of the country, the better they’ll all be.
