Election 2023 ·

2023/10/05

Labour has accused National of misleading voters with their proposed tax plan. An analysis from Council of Trade Unions (CTU) shows just 3000 households would receive the $250 per fortnight relief National promised. National's Nicola Willis defended these figures saying the claim came with the 'up to' caveat- but admitted the 3000 figure was correct. ZB Political Editor Jason Walls says prospective voters have a responsibility to check what they can get- but National only advertised their most

John MacDonald: The NZ First gamble is backfiring

Election 2023 ·

2023/10/04

I reckon the National Party is feeling more than a little bit nervous. In fact, I think it’s starting to look desperate. Almost as desperate as Labour is looking. Because, if I go on what people left, right and centre are telling me, Labour is toast and we’re going to see a change in government. And, as far as I’m concerned, Labour deserves everything coming at it because of the way it has started promising us things that it could so easily have done any time over the past six years. But it’s only

Election 2023 ·

2023/10/04

The Electoral Commission is being defended this morning. About 1.4 million voters haven't received their EasyVote packs three days into the 13-day voting period. Electoral law expert Graeme Edgeler says the thing that delays them is that the cards have party lists and the names of local candidates. He told Mike Hosking that this delay is the norm, and it would be almost impossible to get them out on time. Edgeler says it's difficult for them because that information was only available mid-last

I’m rallying the troops at the moment to early vote. By troops I mean family members, but also anyone who’ll listen. So far I think just my husband, my sister and I have early voted. Others are waiting til the last minute. I’m not sure what might happen last minute that could change your mind, short of a scandal of some kind I guess. But you either like the direction the country is going and want to keep it this way, or you don’t. At the heart of it we’re essentially voting for change or more of

Little surprise the Official Cash Rate remains unchanged- for the time being. The Reserve Bank has today held the OCR at 5.5 percent, claiming interest rates are constraining economic activity as required. Milford Asset Management's Katlyn Parker says there's a lot of uncertainty around this point in the election campaign, and the RBNZ will be waiting for a change.

2023/10/04

Goldman Sachs analysts have warned National's proposed tax cuts could risk worsening existing economic pressures. Andrew Boak and William Nixon believe National's plan could exacerbate inflation, and therefore cause interest rates to remain higher for longer. NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny agrees, claiming National's proposed foreign buyers tax and increased immigration fees won't offset the stimulatory impact of the cuts.

Grant Robertson's reflected on his Government's record on student poverty, after a confrontation at a Wellington university today. After Robertson cast his vote at Victoria University, a student initiated a testy exchange, asking about Labour's rejection of a universal student allowance. ZB political editor Jason Walls says Grant Robertson's defence was fair, as Labour removed first-year fees during their term. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The latest One News/ Verian poll shows NZ First still holds the balance of power. Labour is stagnant at 26 percent, National's leading with 36 percent- but ACT has dropped two points to 10 percent, meaning they'll need NZ First to reach the threshold. National finance spokesperson Nicola Willis isn't confident Winston Peters will stand by a possible National/ACT coalition.

Mike's Minute: The debate over the debate

Election 2023 ·

2023/10/03

Should I have been surprised? The debate around the Press debate has entered day two. If it carries on today that’s day three and that's two days too many. Sure, it's news that a Prime Minister gets ill and can't attend a pre-arranged event. But that’s about it. There is a certain irony that, having spent the past week deciding broadly that debates are a bit of a waste of time, certain players should be wasting energy and going out of their way to scrap over yet another one.
