Beehive Buzz: Azaria Howell on IRD's Family Boost blunder and questions over Police fitness tests
from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB
The Government has admitted the number of families it said would be eligible for the full $75 a week benefit of its flagship childcare tax policy was wrong. The government said 21,000 families would be eligible - but just 249 families had received the full entitlement since the policy came into force last year. So who is responsible for the blunder? Also, police have launched a wide-ranging investigation of hundreds of police recruit applicants after learning some prospective cops who failed physical tests got approval to start police college anyway. How many officers are impacted? To answer those questions, Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell joined Nick Mills for the Beehive Buzz.
