The Trans Tasman Pol Pod Episode 19

The Budget wasn't quite as damaging to the coalition Government as it might have been, and a new TVNZ poll is showing the pay equity changes didn't hurt too much either - but the standout party in the coalition is NZ First. There's concern over what will happen with David Seymour as Deputy Prime Minister - time will tell whether holding more responsibility will tone down his rhetoric. The Government has opened consultation on a new raft of regulatory changes to do with the environment, and it's making changes to the way Worksafe operates, including launching another tip line - this time for "over compliance" in temporary traffic management. The Government has been in power 18 months now, and for a look at how it has performed, we're joined by right wing commentator, David Farrar.
