Got the arrears data for you this morning in Centrix's latest credit indicator report. The good news is that arrears are all trending down across the board for mortgages, personal loans, credit cards, and auto lending. The last one being one of the biggest indicators for how well we're doing as an economy. It all isn't all good news, though, unfortunately, because the number of people behind on payments fell another 16,000 to 443,000. That is now 9.5% worse year on year. The number of people who are behind on payments by more than three months is 96,000. For mortgage arrears specifically, there are now 21,100 people behind on payments, which is actually down a big 13% year on year. Financial hardship cases are also down 9.3% year on year. The one thing that's bucking the trend is personal loan hardship. That is up 34% year on year. There you go. Um I'm getting a lot of texts. I'm getting a lot of texts interestingly, telling me what to ask, Simon. I don't mind this. I don't mind you doing my job for me. Uh Heather, can you please ask Simon Watts if his announcement includes the unelected Nighthood members on ECAN? Heather, can you ask Simon Watts about the Totanger City Council? And I think it was the Mayor Mahe Drysdale who had the deciding vote, which allowed unelected Marty to sit on the council. Will this new bill get rid of them? I will ask for you, mate. Heather, can you also please ask Simon Watts about agenda setting council staff who only present to elected members preset voting option now it comes skewing the voters? Can't tell you how much they irritate me. Can't tell you how much I'm irritated by with the hot the withholding of information from if from from democratically elected people. It's just nutty. Anyway, um, we'll try to get to all of this. What this tells me though, can I just say, is that if you get if I'm getting a lot of a lot of texts telling me what you want me to ask Simon Watts, I am not sure if the government has realized just how much of a uh a flash point this stuff is out there. And no disrespect to Simon Watts at all. But if they did, I reckon they would have put more senior minister on it, like they did with Simeon Brown. He was there for a bit, wasn't he? And then he handed it over because he's one of their guns, handed it over to Simon. Anyway. Simon's got there in the end, made the right decision. He is with us next on this.
