Labour's finance spokesperson remains coy about the Government turning down a proposal to stop funding gangs. Cabinet rejected a proposal in July by then-Justice Minister Kiri Allan banning anyone gang-affiliated from receiving public funding. Grant Robertson says he doesn't recall getting involved with that discussion. "Governments in the past have given a range of funding to agencies who work with those with drug addictions and so on- from time to time, those people have had links with

2023/09/18

What a funny old week it's been listening to the media and the Government howling for National's costings on their foreign house buyers tax and National's refusal to release them. Personally I don't give a flying fig on the costings. It seems perfectly obvious that National will not raise the money it says it will because that would take a record level of overseas sales. And National doesn't care. The overseas buyers tax is a sideshow. They are committed to tax cuts. That's their thing. That's non

Politicians are in full-on campaign mode, trying to make it over the line in the Ohariu electorate. The seat was held for years by Peter Dunne, the Labour MP turned United Future leader. Labour's Greg O'Connor took the seat in 2017 after Dunne's resignation -- and has held it since.

David Seymour claims his welfare policy will help people help themselves. Under Act's proposal, drug addicts could lose their benefit if they refuse treatment or don't make efforts to find a job. It would also apply to people with mental health issues like stress who don't seek help. Seymour told Kerre Woodham we need to ask tough questions about our system. “Should Government policy assume that people are forever victims or should it be based on the idea that people can make a difference in

Labour's made a suite of announcements targeting women. The party's released its first women's manifesto promising improved endometriosis care and extended breast cancer screening. It'd also introduce gender pay gap reporting and establish an innovation and entrepreneurship scholarship programme for low to middle-income women. Employment lawyer Jennifer Mills told Kate Hawkesby New Zealand rates well on gender equality, but there is pay inequality. “I’m not sure that frankly an

National is taking aim at the Government in what it claims is not putting victims at the heart of the criminal justice system. Cabinet rejected a proposal in July by then Justice Minister Kiri Allan banning anyone gang-affiliated from receiving public funding. National's Simeon Brown told Mike Hosking the country has a soft-on-crime Government that doesn't see crime for what it is. He says much of it is being pushed into the community by gangs and they need to put an end to it. Meanwhile, Prime

It's also promising to extend the free breast cancer screening age to 74 a – National Party members bill promising that was drawn from the ballot box earlier this year.

Labour's Cabinet turned down a proposal to stop funding gangs. The National Party's revealed the then-Justice Minister Kiri Allan lodged the proposal to end contracts with gangs in July. Cabinet didn't agree, which National says is another example of Labour being soft on crime. National's spokesperson for Public Service, Simeon Brown, says it's a waste of taxpayer money.

The ACT Party's campaign took an unexpected turn this afternoon, but leader David Seymour says it's good that his party is being noticed. Four protesters managed to get past security and heckle Mr Seymour as he gave his speech. He had to raise his voice several times to drown them out, saying the protesting was a sign his party is successful. ZB political editor Jason Walls says other parties have had similar problems with hecklers. "It just goes to show that the people that are disrupting these

The divide between the right and the left continues to grow, as Labour keeps declining in the polls. This week's major political polls have seen the current Government dip below 30 percent as National and ACT surge ahead as favourites for the election. ZB political editor Jason Walls says it's unlikely the polls will change in Labour's favour this close to the election.

On Wednesday morning, after the PREFU release on the Tuesday afternoon, Finance Minister Grant Robertson joined Mike Hosking to talk about the books, the country’s future and his own performance. As I listened to the conversation, I wondered, has Labour missed a trick here? Now I know Grant Robertson did not want the job of Prime Minister. He could read the tea leaves and was perhaps also feeling the effects of almost 6 challenging years in power. But if you listen to the Hosking interview -
