The Trans tasman Pol Pod Episode 28

Chris Luxon may have secured his legacy if the Government's changes to NCEA announced this week prove effective. The secondary school qualification has not been serving students well, and it is time for change, but the Government will have to be careful business doesn't get too much influence and turn schools into nothing more than vocational colleges.

A draft strategy to boost the country's geothermal energy output in the next 15 years is positive thinking, but its lifting of the ban on offshore oil and gas exploration provides no more than a forlorn hope another mother lode will be discovered. Joining us this week to talk energy and resources is Labour's Megan Woods.
