Electoral Commission urged to release results in more exciting order November 6, 2026
Television broadcasters, along with Stuff, which is sometimes a bit like television but at other times is just outsourced TV3, have urged the Electoral Commission to release election results in a more exciting order, saying the current approach gives undue priority to counting votes rather than maintaining suspense.

Independent family-owned supermarkets independently suffer identical independent pricing faults October 20, 2026
Several independent, family-owned supermarkets across the North Island yesterday independently experienced independent pricing errors at independent but identical times.
