It's a big week in the world of politics, as Treasury is set to publish the Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update (PREFU) on Tuesday. All documents will be published on the Treasury's website shortly after 1.00pm on the day. ZB Chief Political Reporter Aaron Dahmen says this information will provide an indication of how much cash the Government has on hand ahead of the election- which will likely be very little.

National's Chris Bishop vows the use of emergency social housing motels in Rotorua will come to an end. The party will do so through building more social housing and implementing tighter eligibility criteria so people have to use grants in areas they are already living. Chris Bishop says emergency housing in Rotorua has become a 'massive' permanent institution, with the Government pumping millions into a short-term solution.

So the first week of campaigning is underway, and I’m already exhausted by the scale of scheduled events, appearances and the very bright pink ACT bus I encountered on Friday. And I’m mostly just watching it unfold from the comfort of my computer. How good is it to see the politicians on the road, selling their wares and finally giving us their vision for New Zealand through their policy announcements? Until earlier this year the opposition's job was to tell us what they thought the Government was

National's released more of its education policy today. If it wins the election, it will require primary schools to teach every single child how to reach using structured literacy. It's basically a return to phonics, instead of the whole language approach used for the last 50 years. Education spokesperson Erica Stanford joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.

Parliament has officially wound up today. New Zealand Herald Extraordinary Phillip O'Shea headed procedures earlier today, despite Parliament officially closing last week. A new Taxpayers Union-Curia poll has spelled turmoil for the Labour Party. It's put the party at 27 percent - no change from last month - but well behind National at 35 percent. But Prime Minister Chris Hipkins says his election campaign is "only just ramping up". Meanwhile, National leader Chris Luxon has been rounding up the

If you are a parent or a grandparent worried about whether our schooling will teach your child to read properly – you need to listen to this. Good education announcement from National today. I have been waiting for anyone to announce this for a couple of years now. So I'm pleased someone’s finally done it. If the Nats win the election, they will require all primary schools to teach little ones to read using structured literacy – which is basically going back to phonics. Now let me explain to you

Labour's self aggrandising press release on police came through late in the show yesterday, so we didn't really get a chance to get our teeth into it. The press release came from Chris Hipkins, well his office. A Labour Government will deliver a further increase of 300 additional frontline police officers, new ways to crack down on gangs, and strengthen legal protections against stalking and harassment, we will also continue to crack down on gangs. Recently, we've seen communities disrupted and

Here’s what Chris Hipkins should have said when he made the big announcement yesterday that, if Labour gets to form the next government, it will deliver 300 extra police officers and they’ll have a look at legislation to crack-down on gang convoys. What he should have said, is: “If you vote for us, we will finally give you what you assumed we were going to give you, until you realised at the last minute that we had let you assume the wrong thing without correcting you”.

So week one of the campaign, well I call it week one because the two major parties had their launches. Of course, they've been campaigning for months, unless you are Chris Hipkins who upon receiving a poll a week or so back claimed he hadn't campaigned at all, until Megan Woods on this show busted him. He showed ironically that same trait this week when he started defending Willie Jackson, who blatantly made stuff up about Act and National and the minimum wage. Even when he corrected it, he got it

The National Party is promising to build a new “Great Walk” as part of its new tourism policy. It's planed an $14m upgrade the 80km Waiau-Toa/Molesworth walking track in Canterbury, creating the 11th Great Walk. Hurunui Mayor Marie Black told Tim Dower that having a track of this distinction in their district would be a significant boost for the local and regional economies. She said that the district would embrace something of this nature, and it could bring in the big spenders. LISTEN

It would allow Police to go after convoys and confiscate cars, motorbikes, and tractors.

Labour's law and order policy would allow Police to confiscate cars, motorbikes, and even tractors. Police Minister Ginny Andersen says it's designed for large scale convoys going through public roads, disrupting people's daily lives. Criminal lawyer Steve Cullen told Tim Dower that it appears they'll come at them after the fact. He says they will have to show there's a breach of the road laws by people in two or more vehicles.

Really? New Zealand First... really? I mean, I know it's a pretty desperate time... we're all a bit lost and confused and disappointed, frustrated and seriously peed off at the state of the country right now. But to see a poll showing New Zealand First potentially over the five percent threshold? I guess it shows how desperate things are for a lot of people.

More trouble for the carbon credit scheme that Labour wants to use to fund climate initiatives. The Government has tried - and failed - a third time to auction off credits, giving businesses the right to emit carbon dioxide. This means Treasury is now short over $900 million ahead of Tuesday's Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update. The Country's Jamie Mackay says the credits will be available to purchase again- but economists warn the units could be harder to sell a fourth time. LISTEN ABOVESee

Auckland Light Rail has signed a $33 million contract to buy the Kiwi Bacon Building, located on New North Road. That's despite National vowing to scrap the $14.6-billion-dollar project if elected next month. Simeon Brown says the Government has had six years to deliver and hasn't presented a business case to purchase the building. "The Government hasn't got a business case, they haven't got a
