    David Seymour: Fees-free doesn't result in more education

    Winston Peters has leaked, and the Government has confirmed, that this will be the final year of fees-free support for tertiary students.  The support was first introduced as a first year free incentive to help get more young people into further education, and was changed to be final year free last year.  The policy has cost almost $350 million a year since it was introduced, but it seems the Government has decided that money is better spent elsewhere.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Dr Geoffrey Miller: "New Zealand could be quite useful" for Iran-U.S. relationship

    New Zealand has received a preliminary proposal from the United States requesting help in opening the Strait of Hormuz -  possibly as part of a coalition that would restore access to the strait. So yes we're apparently just one of a number of countries that received a proposal.  Foreign Affairs minister Winston Peters says we're seeking more information and as such won't be making a decision anytime soon.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Nick Hill: Govt should support SailGP in City of Sails

    SailGP won't be going ahead in the city of sails next year as the Government has pulled funding.  Tourism and Hospitality Minister Louise Upston wrote in a letter to mayor Wayne Brown that the event did not meet funding criteria, which requires a specific net economic benefit.  It's been met with disappointment, as funding continues for larger events such as Robbie Williams and Linkin Park, of which some argue could have sold out on their own, without Government funding.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Maurice Williamson: Some parties are too far gone for a coalition

    After much deliberation, the Labour Party has announced they'll back the India free trade agreement.  We do see cross party agreements, but just how important will bipartisanship be for this year's election?  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Chloe Swarbrick: Funding solar panels through rates

    The Green Party have just had their annual State of the Planet Address, and this year they're calling for a National Electrification Plan.  They say it's in response to the current fossil fuels crisis, and would add to their previous calls for free public transport and solutions to ease the cost of living.  The plan would lay out a clear plan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and use renewable energy like solar panels to reduce the cost of living.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Ernie Newman: Duopoly to blame for increase in food costs

    New Zealand First has announced they will be campaigning on a new policy to end the supermarket duopoly.  The policy would give the Commerce Commission powers to enforce increased penalties for breaches and reform the role of the Groceries Commissioner, which the party says is currently toothless.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Peter Dunne: National Party calls in former broadcaster for comms help

    The National Party have called in former broadcaster Rachel Smalley to help Auckland based MPs, including the prime minister, with their communications and media work ahead of the election this year.  It's come after the public have started to notice Luxon becoming less confident and stumbling over his words recently - in contrast to the precise and decided communication style he's had in the past.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
