Politics Friday with Megan Woods and Matt Doocey: Should e-scooter companies pay ACC levies, banks, school lunch programme

from Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald · host Newstalk ZB

In the first Politics Friday of 2025, John MacDonald was joined by Matt Doocey and Megan Woods to dig into some of the biggest political stories of the week.  New data reveals that ACC paid out almost $15 million for e-scooter injuries last year, a nearly 50% increase on the year before – is it time for the businesses operating them to pay levies?  What does Megan make of Shane Jones honing in on the banks and their dealings —or lack thereof— with fossil fuel companies? Is it wise to sell off the country’s state-owned assets? And the new school lunch programme has seen some criticism – would Matt eat the meals?  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
