National Paid Parental Leave Policy: Why Families Are Waiting Until 2030

from Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief · host rova

Nicola Willis tried to blame ACT for the delay, but National never pushed for it in the first place. David Seymour joins us to set the record straight on cost, policy priorities, and whether Kiwis are just being sold another long-term promise. Learn more about your ad choices.
