Politics Friday: Matt Doocey and Tracey McLellan talk supermarkets, mental health funding, helicopters, school lunches

from Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald · host Newstalk ZB

Today on Politics Friday John MacDonald was joined in studio by National’s Matt Doocey and Labour’s Tracey McLellan.  They discussed yesterday’s supermarket announcement: does the Government really believe another player will enter the scene, or is it all just talk?  Why has some mental health funding been redistributed when New Zealand continues to suffer through a mental health crisis?  A bit closer to home, the price for our police to hire helicopters is blowing out each year, will Christchurch ever get its chopper?   And is a pie really a healthy option for a school lunch?  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
