Progress vs Delay: The Real Difference Between National And Labour

from Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief Hosted by rova

Do you want progress or paralysis? This week, Duncan lays out what he sees as the starkest political divide in years, and why the Government’s fast track legislation sums it up better than anything else. We dig into how endless consultation and red tape stalled housing, infrastructure and regional development for years, and why the new approach is being sold as a course correction rather than a shortcut. From mining and regional jobs to environmental scrutiny and investor confidence, Duncan argues the old system simply wasn’t working. Joining the conversation are Ashley Church and Janet Wilson, with sharp predictions for the year ahead. Coalition tensions, leadership pressure, the economy, house prices, Māori politics and what really matters heading into the 2026 election. We also look offshore, including Donald Trump, global power plays and why the year ahead could be anything but boring.
