The Trans Tasman Pol Pod Episode 39

Labour has launched its first 2026 policy initiative, but its Future Fund announcement left as many questions as it gave answers, and political opponents quickly dismissed it. Winston Peters and David Seymour have traded verbal blows over Fonterra's sale of its retail brands, with both accusing the other of having not milked cows. The country's first National Climate Change Adaptation plan hasn't been received too well, and inflation is up, but economists aren't too concerned - yet. We're joined by Infometrics Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan to talk about this and take a bit of a look at Labour's Future Fund idea.
