The number of people on the Jobseeker benefit has increased especially significantly, while a recent change to how school students' mathematics progress is measured has placed the academic achievement target at risk. RNZ has launched a series of graphics that track progress towards each of the nine targets, based on official data provided by the government agencies being measured. The graphics will be updated each quarter, with the most recent progress report covering July to September 2024. While the educational achievement and Jobseeker targets are classified as 'at risk', three other health and crime targets are considered 'feasible' - meaning they are still possible but are behind schedule and face "major risks and/or issues''. In other areas, including reducing the number of people in emergency housing and near-term greenhouse gas emissions, targets were either 'on track' or 'probable'. Photo: RNZ The nine targets were selected to focus the public sector on achieving better results in health, education, law and order, work, housing and the environment. Progress is reported quarterly, and each responsible agency assigns a status, ranging from on track to unachievable. Progress toward reaching a target can still be classed as feasible, even if there are major risks or issues in meeting it, as long as the agency in charge believes these can be resolved. In September, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon snapped at a reporter during questioning about crime rates and the national gang list, saying: "It's not about the frickin' targets, it's actually about the outcomes." The nine targets are set to be delivered by 2030, beyond the current political term. This is the second quarterly update the government has issued - so how has progress come along since the previous report? Health Photo: RNZ Achieving the goal for 95 percent of patients to be admitted, discharged or transferred from an emergency department is still some way off. The latest period of reporting shows only 71.2 percent of patients were seen within that timeframe. This is a slight increase from the last quarter when 70 percent of patients were seen in that timeframe. When setting this target, officials warned there was a risk it would not be achievable in the short term. "Most ED [emergency departments] nationwide are over capacity most of the time," a briefing to ministers read. It said wait times were affected by resourcing, community services, bed availability and seasonal changes, such as increased demand during flu season. Attempting to reduce wait times would require significant system-wide change in hospitals, primary care and aged care, the briefing said. "There would be a risk the target is achieved by focusing resources intensively in ED at the expense of other areas of the health system. This may result in improved ED wait times in the short term, but - through reduction in the quality of care elsewhere - would likely result in worse health outcomes and ultimately higher ED presentations in the medium to long term." Te Whatu Ora's approach to reach the target included plans to discharge patients promptly, and encouraging patients to seek help elsewhere such as telehealth services, GPs and community care. It also wanted ambulance staff to deal with more patients without transferring them to a hospital. Growing the health workforce was also listed as a priority. Reaching the 95 percent goal by 2030 is classed as feasible, meaning there are major risks to achievement. Photo: RNZ The target for 95 percent of people to receive elective treatment within four months is a long way away from being achieved, although tacking in the right direction. At the moment 61.4 percent of people needing elective treatments, such as hip or cataract surgeries, are seen within four months. This is slightly higher than the 56.3 percent reported in June. However, the actual percentage of people waiting for elective procedures could be worse, as RNZ revealed some patients who are referred for surgery have not been added to wait lists. A June progress report noted the appointment of Health Commissioner Lester Levy was among the actions taken to speed up access to treatment. Other activities included increasing bed and theatre capacity. The private sector is also being used to plug some of the public sector gap. A minimum of 20,000 general, 2000 orthopaedic and 3000 cataract surgeries are outsourced, according to the previous quarter's update. Delivery of this target is classified as feasible, indicating there are still major risks. Crime Photo: RNZ The number of serious and persistent youth offenders has decreased by 95 percent since the last quarterly report, but the total number still sits above the target number of 900. For a youth offender to be classed as a serious or persistent offender they must have committed three or more offences in the past 12 months, with at least one of them having a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment or more. Hitting the targeted 15 percent reduction by 2030 is considered probable, meaning it needs "constant attention" to ensure any risks to the target do not develop into major issues. Bootcamps are listed as one way the government is hoping to turn behaviour around, as is improving school attendance. Other initiatives aimed at addressing offending include better response systems from police and Oranga Tamariki. Photo: RNZ The goal to reduce crime is classed as "feasible" but the current number of victims is sitting at almost 40,000 more than the target. This target was kept as one of the nine government targets, despite officials suggesting it would be difficult to achieve and should be replaced with something easier to reach. The goal to reduce the number of victims of assault, robbery, and sexual assault by 20,000 by 2030 is based on data from the New Zealand Crime and Victims' Survey. Officials warned the survey data had a high margin of error and was more suitable for showing long-term trends. The survey includes crimes that victims might have experienced up to two years prior. Work to reduce the number of victims includes increasing police numbers and implementing a package of measures the government believes will increase the chance of offenders being "held to account". The September progress update notes 160 officers had been deployed to community teams and 77 officers had been assigned to target gangs. Employment Photo: RNZ The number of people receiving Jobseeker support increased by 8,800, to 204,800, since the June report, shifting the target from being 'feasible' to 'at risk'. This is nearly 14,000 above the forecast for September and almost 65,000 away from the overall goal of 140,000 or fewer people receiving support by 2030. The September progress report says economic conditions have contributed to the high number of unemployed people. A new traffic light system aimed at enforcing beneficiary obligations dramatically increased sanctions handed down to beneficiaries, with 14,400 people losing a percentage of their benefit during the June to September quarter, -133 percent higher than the same period in 2023. Most of the sanctions were for people not attending appointments which included work seminars. Education Photo: RNZ At 53.2 percent, Term 2's attendance rate is well below the target of 80 percent of students present for more than 90 percent of the term. This means students should take no more than five days off a term. The government's action plan to lift attendance rates to 80 percent includes reporting attendance daily, communications to raise awareness of the importance of attending school, issuing guidance to help parents know when an unwell child should be sent to school, and clarifying attendance expectations to school boards. It is also working on supporting the Ministry of Education to prosecute caregivers of students with low attendance. Absence is classed as either "justified" or "unjustified". Justified absences include illnesses, and other reasons which fall under school policy, such as suspensions. Unjustified absences include truancy, or taking holidays in term time. The government target of 80 percent makes no distinction between the two. Notes provided to Cabinet when the targets were being set said it would be difficult to meet the 80 percent target while Covid-19 is still circulating. The Ministry of Education said its estimated attendance levels until 2029 is not a "technical forecast" but is based on historical patterns of greater attendance drops during winter months due to illness. Since 2011, the highest percentage of students attending 90 percent of a school term was 72.8 percent, in Term 1 of 2019. The average over that time was 59.4 percent. Photo: RNZ Achievement rates for mathematics and reading are still well below the government target of 80 percent of Year 8 students being at or above the expected curriculum level. Currently 47 percent of students are at the expected level in reading and 22 percent in mathematics. Writing has not been assessed recently but the 2019 data put 35 percent of students at the expected level. A plan to raise mathematics achievement has been launched and structured literacy will be introduced for students from Year 0 to 6 in 2025. This target is measured annually, so there is no change since the last quarterly update. Housing Photo: RNZ Driving down the number of households in emergency housing is one target where progress streaked ahead of estimations. Starting from a baseline of 3141 households, the goal was to reduce the number by 75 percent, to 800 or fewer. The current number is 1179 - 1351 households ahead of forecasts and 379 away from the 2030 goal. Part of the plan to reach the target includes improving access to other forms of housing for emergency housing residents. Since a fast-track category for waitlists was created in April, 726 households have shifted from emergency housing, such as motels, to social housing. Criteria to be placed in emergency housing have also tightened despite warnings from officials that this could lead to an increase in rough sleepers. The government could not say where all households who have left emergency housing moved to, as it does not track that information. Around 200 households were unaccounted for. This target is classed as being on track to being achieved. Climate Photo: RNZ There are two targets New Zealand has committed to meeting as part of its net zero climate change goal. The first target is for total greenhouse gas emissions between 2022 and 2025 to be below 290 megatonnes. This target is on track to being achieved. Reaching the second target - for total emissions between 2026 and 2030 to be less than 309 mt - appears to be more of a challenge, though is still classified as probable. The next update on progress toward the nine targets, covering October to December 2024, will be released in 2025.

A “Coalition to Save Culpeper” is mobilizing to scrutinize and hopefully curtail data center growth in the town and county. The new nonprofit formed to “protect the rural, historic character of Culpeper for the citizens of today and generations to come,” according to saveculpeper.com . Spokeswoman Charlotte Cole, a town resident and 50-year PR expert, said the group’s focus is the data center greenlighted for location next to Culpeper National Cemetery on East Chandler Street. She said in a recent phone call “my heart bleeds” at the prospect. “My husband is in section 11 at the national cemetery and that bank of obnoxious polluting behemoths will be overlooking him and me, eventually, and I am not at all happy about that,” Cole said. “I don’t want to be there—there will be no peace when people come to visit.” People are also reading... It’s not just them either, she added. “Everyone else who is there will have to listen to that obnoxious noise and there are eight more (data centers) next door,” Cole said of various projects approved by local officials in the past few years in the Culpeper Technology Zone, or CTZ, in the McDevitt Drive area. Various rezonings have been approved in the area and millions of dollars in real estate transactions have occurred. “It’s an abomination for the town and all of it seemingly done under the cloak of darkness,” Cole said. A member of the Culpeper Economic Development Advisory Commission from 2017-19, Cole said there was never any talk during those years of a data center in that area. The approved project, Copper Ridge, sits on a site formerly rezoned by town council in the early 2000s for a so-named 55-and-older housing development, on a hill which once sat historic Eastern View. The Coalition to Save Culpeper wants to know how the use was changed to industrial, Cole said. At a planning commission meeting in August 2023, Stephen Plescow, president of St. Mawes real estate developers in Culpeper, sought the rezoning. He said the Copper Ridge data center project would have a substation located as close as 450-feet away from the cemetery boundary. Plescow said at the time it was their top priority to buffer and appropriately screen their hallowed neighbor. The planning commission split on their approval of the project , recommending to town council to not rezone the land for the data center, finding it was out of character with the neighborhood and out of compliance with the comprehensive plan. Town council ultimately approved the project and a substation on the property this past summer. Residents living near the cemetery objected to the rezoning due to the amount of noise purported to be emitted by data centers. Councilwoman Jamie Clancey in July questioned this concern due to the fact that the area had previously been zoned for residential development. Cole said the data centers also threaten the town’s water supply. “My dad was president of Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern. His area of responsibility was northern Virginia to Charlottesville, we lived in Roanoke, and we grew up with it—conserve water, take care of water,” she said. “These concerned citizens decided we needed to somehow coalesce, been doing that for the last several months now, it’s time for more folks in our sweet town and county to understand what’s at stake here.” Cole lives on Blue Ridge Avenue west of Main Street. She believes she will hear the noise from the data centers next to the cemetery on the east side of Main. She said their group has been working with partner Sarah Parmelee from Piedmont Environmental Council to champion the effort. Cole said she has worked with public officials for 50 years, and that Culpeper town officials have shocked her with their lack of interest in public engagement on the issue. Coalition to Save Culpeper has no elected hierarchy, Cole said, and its membership is comprised of everyone from young families to folks that have been in historic homes for quite a long time. “We believe there is still the remote possibility we can change, through public opinion, the decision to build six data centers overlooking the National Cemetery,” she said. “It’s citizens concerned—no one knows this is going on except a few and we need to help illuminate these decisions, at least allow the public to come in and have their say.” From a PR perspective, it’s going to take a whole lot of pitchforks and torches and shaming of the developers to bring it to a halt, Cole added. “That’s what we’re trying to get to the bottom of—how these deals were done to make this black magic happen so quickly,” she said. “We want people to understand this is of concern from an environmental perspective, future of Culpeper and quality of life perspective. You can’t have 14 data centers humming over your town and casting that shrill noise for as far as three to five miles and sucking up your water without an impact on your commercial core. I don’t care how much money somebody wants to give me, that quality of life will suck.” According to PEC, Copper Ridge will be located within 1,000 feet of Mountain Brook Estates neighborhood and several homes on East Chandler Street. “Depending on the type of cooling equipment used, homes near data centers can be subject to a constant buzz or humming noise from rooftop cooling equipment and substations,” PEC states. “Data Center Alley is coming to Culpeper,” says saveculpeper.com . “Lured by the siren song of tax revenue, Culpeper’s elected officials have approved over 12 million square feet of new data center campuses, an area roughly the equivalent of 64 Walmart Supercenters. These massive facilities will be built next to our homes, our historic district, and even our National Cemetery, the final resting place of over 7,500 American Service Members, permanently industrializing our rural community.” Group publicity stated while they cannot undo many projects already approved, they can work for greater government transparency as well as a moratorium on any more data centers. Coalition to Save Culpeper wants use-specific zoning for data centers, noise protections and a say in how the local power grid is used.

Losses for big technology stocks pulled major indexes lower on Wall Street. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3% from its record high a day earlier, and the Nasdaq composite lost 0.6%. Losses for Nvidia, Microsoft and Broadcom were the biggest weights on the market. Dell sank 12.2% after reporting revenue that fell shy of forecasts, and HP dropped 11.4% after giving a weaker-than-expected outlook. Treasury yields fell in the bond market. U.S. financial markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks wavered in afternoon trading on Wednesday, as losses for several Big Tech companies offset gains elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% in afternoon trading, even though more stocks were rising than falling in the index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 135 points, or 0.3%, as of 3:05 p.m. Eastern time. Both indexes set records on Tuesday. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.5%. Losses for tech heavyweights helped pull the broader market lower. Semiconductor giant Nvidia slipped 1.6%. Its huge value gives it outsized influence on market indexes. Microsoft fell 0.9% Several personal computer makers added to Big Tech's heavy weight on the market following their latest earnings reports. HP sank 11.8% after giving investors a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast for its current quarter. Dell slumped 11.9% after its latest quarterly revenue fell short of Wall Street forecasts. Gains for financial and health care companies helped counter Big Tech's downward pull. Visa rose 0.9% and Thermo Fisher Scientific added 2.3%. The U.S. economy expanded at a healthy 2.8% annual pace from July through September, according to the Commerce Department, leaving its original estimate of third-quarter growth unchanged. The growth was driven by strong consumer spending and a surge in exports. The update follows a report on Tuesday from the Conference Board that said improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Consumers have been driving economic growth, but the latest round of earnings reports from retailers shows a mixed and more cautious picture. Department store operator Nordstrom fell 8.5% after warning investors about a trend toward weakening sales that started in late October. Clothing retailer Urban Outfitters jumped 19.1% after beating analysts’ third-quarter financial forecasts. Weeks earlier, retail giant Target gave investors a discouraging forecast for the holiday season, while Walmart provided a more encouraging forecast. Consumers, though resilient, are still facing pressure from inflation. The latest update from the U.S. government shows that inflation accelerated last month. The personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE, rose to 2.3% in October from 2.1% in September. Overall, the rate of inflation has been falling broadly since it peaked more than two years ago. The PCE, which is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, was just below 7.3% in June of 2022. Another measure of inflation, the consumer price index, peaked at 9.1% at the same time. The latest inflation data, though, is a sign that the rate of inflation seems to be stalling as it falls to within range of the Fed's target of 2%. The central bank started raising its benchmark interest rate from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023 and held it there in order to tame inflation. The Fed started cutting its benchmark interest rate in September, followed by a second cut in November. Wall Street expects a similar quarter-point cut at the central bank's upcoming meeting in December. “Today’s data shouldn’t change views of the likely path for disinflation, however bumpy," said David Alcaly, lead macroeconomic strategist at Lazard Asset Management. "But a lot of observers, probably including some at the Fed, are looking for reasons to get more hawkish on the outlook given the potential for inflationary policy change like new tariffs.” President-elect Donald Trump has said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China when he takes office in January. That could shock the economy by raising prices on a wide range of goods and accelerating the rate of inflation. Such a shift could prompt the Fed to rethink future cuts to interest rates. Treasury yields slipped in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.25% from 4.30% late Tuesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which more closely follows expected actions by the Fed, fell to 4.22% from 4.25% late Tuesday. U.S. markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday. Damian J.
