Friday Faceoff: Polly Gillespie and Karen Morgan talk benefit numbers, GDP and bus lane fines

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

The equivalent of the entire population of Levin have become jobseeker beneficiaries in the last 12 months, with more than 200,000 people now receiving jobseeker. How do we get people into work - and will things get better as the economy improves? Also, The Wellington City Council pocketed $24,000 per week in fines from the new fixed bus lane cameras in Manners Street between June and December. The AA says it's abhorrent, and is punishing hard-working people from getting from A to B. Are these fines fair or should people know not to drive in bus lanes? To answer those questions, legendary broadcaster Polly Gillespie and Hutt City Councillor and mayoral candidate Karen Morgan joined Nick Mills for Friday Faceoff.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
