Supercut

"I felt the way I used to feel when I made music as a kid and it felt like I could cry because it's such a relief to get out how you're feeling for the first time. I remember being like 'oh my god'. It was such gratitude for the process. I was like, 'my outlet!'" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Nicola Willis cutting costs or cutting growth?

Finance minister Nicola Willis is on a mission to crunch the size of government debt from well over 33% of GDP to under 30% within a few years, as well as fire up growth in an economy experiencing its worst-ever recession per capita. Doing one would be hard, but both at the same time seems a mission impossible for a politician wanting to win a second term. Bernard asks her how the government will both keep its promises and engineer even bigger spending cuts in per capita terms than those delivered by Ruth Richardson in the early 1990s.

Even as New Zealand’s economy was in the depths of a recession, the Reserve Bank kept a firm grip on monetary policy, only easing up in mid-2024. This week, Bernard Hickey sits down with Kiwibank chief economist Jarrod Kerr to discuss whether the Reserve Bank should be hitting the accelerator now, rather than simply lifting its foot off the brake.

Liability

"I'm so aware of the thoughts that are so potent in a moment and then, in the light of day, you're like, 'alright, I was being a bit of a drama queen there, but it's all good, I'm over it.' But I went and immortalised it and now everyone who talks to me about that song gives me this look like I'm dying of a terminal disease... but I think that is the nature of writing a record called Melodrama."
