Politics Thursday: David Seymour and Ginny Andersen debate charter schools, Casey Costello

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Thirty-five public schools could be converted into charter schools under the government's new plan to revive the independent but state-funded schools - but the Labour Party and teachers unions loathe the plan. So will charter schools actually work, and are they a good use of education resources? Labour's police spokesperson Ginny Andersen and Act leader and associate education Minister David Seymour joined Nick Mills to debate the issue.  Also, Casey Costello is under fire for lowering taxes on heated tobacco products - products that only tobacco giant Philip Morris sells. Has Costello gone too far?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
