Politics Thursday: Paul Goldsmith and Ayesha Verrall on Immigration

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

It's Politics Thursday and this week Nick is joined in the studio by National Minister Paul Goldsmith and Labour MP Ayesha Verrall. They debate the top political issues of the week, including concerns around Wellington project priorities. After the second Auckland harbour crossing is looking likely to go through, there is still no word on our second Mt Vic Tunnel - is Wellington being slighted? Then onto immigration, as the government launches more immigration policy, polling shows it is not actually a top 10 issue to Kiwis. The panel debate if Kiwis should be more concerned and what the priorities are for their parties come election time. And cutting fees free, is this a broken promise for students currently enrolled in our universities? LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
