2023/09/07

The Police Minister says bolstering the police force will help New Zealand tackle a complex crime situation. Labour has promised 300 more cops over four years if re-elected. It's on top of about 1800 more staff coming on board since Labour won the 2017 election. Police Minister Ginny Andersen says it will make a material difference. "Those extra police officers mean that when people call the phone and ring up police, we get a response immediately." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

Mike's Minute: We need more productivity

2023/09/06

My policy of the week, and this may or may not become a thing for the next couple of weeks depending on the quality of what we see, goes to Act and their productivity ideas. That’s not to say a tunnel in Wellington isn't a solid idea, but it's not hard to announce a tunnel. Productivity is one of the great handbrakes on allowing this country to be great. We have talked about it for years and failed at liftoff every single time. Part of it is the make up of our economy. Productivity is hard to

Labour's defending its plan to grow the economy, saying it's about capitalising on strengths rather than playing the same old tune. The five point plan includes growing an export-led country, boosting renewable energy, enhancing tourism, and focusing on sustainable agriculture technology. Labour Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson told Mike Hosking that New Zealand's always been an export nation, but this is about maximising the value of that. He says they want to shift what we do into areas

2023/09/06

ANZ economists are warning that taxpayers may have to cover the extra interest accumulated on Government debt. If the Treasury has to issue more bonds than the market wants, the price of the bonds will fall, and their yields will rise- which will cost taxpayers. NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny says the Government is bringing in less tax revenue that expected as the economy slows- and Treasury will have to factor that in.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has laid out a five-point economic strategy for Labour's third term in Government- if the party's re-elected. Hipkins promised he'll lead a delegation to India to foster relations and eventually establish a trade deal. $100 million will also be spent on Venture Capital Fund for investment in agri-tech, to encourage innovation.

An economic commentator says Labour's economic policy is big on aspiration, but lacks specifics and understanding. Their five-point election plan to grow the economy includes the PM heading to India in the first 100 days to foster relations. It would also invest $100 million in agri-tech and boosting tourism. Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Reddell says it doesn't deal with the big issues we're facing. "The word inflation appears once, never about bringing inflation down. The fiscal plan just

As much as things change, the more they stay the same We have already witnessed one of the election's major lessons - Government's lose the vote, Opposition's don’t win them. We vote on the vibe, on a mood and the specifics are wasted on the engaged and the wonks. Labour and their mates have worked very hard since last week to try and undo National's tax policy, but they have failed.

ACT and National are on track to govern while Labour slumps to a new low, according to a new poll.
