Friday Faceoff: Josie Pagani and Dr Bryce Edwards

Nick Mills wraps the week with CEO of NZ Child Fund Josie Pagani and Director of the Democracy Project Dr Bryce Edwards. They tackle the issues of the week, including the election date announcement of November 7th. The latest they could push it – what does this show?  Josie and Bryce give their predictions on how the year will pan out political. They analyze the polls, discussing what the next government will look like, what will happen with the minor parties, how coalition talks will play out  and Winston Peters, what will his position be as kingmaker? They take an in-depth look at the state of our health system. What needs to be changed? Between the$26 billion ACC deficit and the 575 code reds in our emergency department last year, its clear our health system needs change.  Bryce and Josie then hit other issues from the week including neighbour complaints about dog barking, when is it too whiny? Bryce tells us about having chickens in the CBD. Plus they tell us their new years resolutions and if they've stuck. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
