Politics Thursday: Ayesha Verrall and Tim Costley talk tariffs, ferries and Benjamin Doyle

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

It’s what US President Donald Trump is calling Liberation Day in the US today; dishing out tariffs on almost every nation on earth. New Zealand exporters will now face 10% tariffs on everything imported into the United States. How should the government respond?  Also, Rail Minister Winston Peters has announced his plans for the Interisland ferry replacements. He’s decided they’ll be 200m long and rail enabled - but no contracts have yet been signed. Was this an underwhelming announcement?  To answer those questions, Labour's health and Wellington issues spokesperson Ayesha Verrall and National's Otaki MP Tim Costley joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
