Ask Me Anything about the week to Aug 25
Paying subscribers can ask Bernard Hickey about the week’s news, including Labour's drop to 29% in a poll and the Government’s cyclone repair deals
It’s that time of the week for an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session for paying subscribers about the week that was for an hour, including:
Labour’s fall in the 1News/Varian poll to 29%
Labour’s pivot to negative campaigning against National/ACT
National is raising $7 for each $1 being raised by Labour
National announced plans to fund 13 new cancer drugs, using $280m 'saved' by re-applying the $5 prescription charge, while also not accounting for extra staffing and infrastructure needed to administer the drugs.
Fill yer boots
Cheers
Bernard
Given the Infrastructure Commission interim review of Auckland’s City Rail Link, and the timely reminder of the significant challenges facing infrastructure projects in NZ, do we need to bring back the Ministry of Works?
Kia ora Bernard,
I noted with excitement your stated intent to genuinely trying to move the Overton window to solutions that provide our children with a liveable future. Wiill you be trying to get degrowth into political debates this election?
