Helen Clark: New Zealand's unsolved problems and fragile peace in Iran

from Q+A with Jack Tame · host Q+A with Jack Tame

Productivity, sensible taxation and the ballooning cost of superannuation are among the uniquely thorny, long-lasting issues that New Zealand hasn't been able to conquer. It's a politically-motivated cycle of short-term flip-flopping on these important issues that The Helen Clark Foundation's new book, Facing Up To Our Future, diagnoses as the problem - released, strategically, in a general election year. Former prime minister Helen Clark joins Q+A to speak to the book's message, and to the latest developments from the war in Iran, where a MOU toward a peace deal has been signed between Iran and the US, but the Strait of Hormuz has shuttered again as Israel strikes Lebanon. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
