What April 1 cash boosts and power bill increases mean for your wallet

The financial year is coming to an end, and that means from next Tuesday, a lot of Kiwis will be getting more money in their wallets.

As people continue to feel the sting of cost of living, what impact will these changes have – and how well is our economy performing at the moment?

Sir Bill English on what's needed to fix the health system

Health care in New Zealand eats up a huge portion of the budget each year, and it's growing - The Government spent 7.3% of GDP on health in the year to June 2024, more than any year outside of Covid. Treasury reckons spending is expected to grow to 10% of GDP by 2061 - so how can we get on top of it? This week, Thomas is joined by Sir Bill English, who served as Health, Finance and Prime Minister during his time in Parliament, for a long-form discussion on what's needed to fix our health system and get spending under control.
