MANILA, Philippines — Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno has maintained that the country needs to reform the military and uniformed personnel (MUP) pension, saying that there is no system in the world where possible recipients of a pension do not contribute to it. Diokno, during the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum on Wednesday, was asked about senators' fears that mandating contributions from MUPs may lead to instability in the country's civilian and military law enforcement institutions — with the possibility of mass retirement among the country's key forces.

WASHINGTON -U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said banks are likely to become more cautious and may tighten lending further in the wake of recent bank failures, possibly negating the need for further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Yellen said in a 'Fareed Zakaria GPS' interview that policy actions to stem the systemic threat caused by last month's failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank had caused deposit outflows to stabilize, 'and things have been calm,' according to a CNN transcript released on Saturday.

Rob Campbell The declared intent of National/Act to abolish Te Aka Whai Ora is a mistake from many points of view. When, some months ago, I discussed this with Christopher Luxon he said they would establish a Māori unit in the Ministry of Health to more effectively and efficiently do its work. He appeared unaware that such a unit had been a fixture in the ministry for a long time and remained there. I was also touched by the naivety of his view that locating anything within that ministry was a step towards efficiency or effectiveness.

As put by Detective Inspector Dave de Lange: Police's thoughts are with Ariki's family a year on from her death. Our focus remains on holding to account those responsible for her death, and providing the whānau with answers. We would ask people to exercise caution when discussing the case and reading or sharing information online about the case. We would also reiterate our appeal to the public for anyone who has genuine information which may help us to report this to Police. We believe people in the community know what happened to Ariki, but loyalties are preventing them from speaking - please do the right thing and come forward.

An offshore company which controversially won a Gisborne learn-to-swim contract says it's looking forward to getting to work. But an Australian-based Kiwi says the business has had a negative impact on her local pool near Brisbane, and worries what could unfold in Tairāwhiti. In early June, Belgravia Leisure secured the contract for a dedicated learn-to-swim area at Gisborne's new Kiwa Pools, which is set to open on September 2. Missing out was longstanding Gisborne club Comet, which has operated in Tairāwhiti since 1958.
