The Trans Tasman Pol Pod Episode 42

The report on the pilot run of the Government's boot camp programme for young offenders is out, and it has mixed news. The Government's latest Sunday announcement is a law & order policy - always a good diversion if other things aren't going well. This time it's a crackdown on Meth use. The Government is still pushing ahead with its goal of getting an India FTA in the bag by the end of its first term - and on the surface things appear to be going well. The Treasury has published its investment statement for 2025, and is once again pushing an asset sales message, which will no doubt be music to the ears of the current Government. Joining me this week is Meredith Kennett, president of the New Zealand School Boards Association, to talk about Education Minister Erica Stanford's decision to remove the Te Tiriti o Waitangi clause from s127 of the Education and Training Act 2020.
