Your weekly policy and politics commentators are back in Iron Duke Studios. The team dive full noise into the IT sector with a debrief on what happened with the global CrowdStrike outage and New Zealand might finally be following suit with open banking. They discuss Kamala Harris taking over from Sleepy Joe, the Tauranga City election, the Health NZ takeover and the dire times of New Zealand’s energy sector. A mighty week of content!

Straight from Iron Duke Studios – Jesse, Maddy and Henry take you through the big news in the US with Trump being shot and his confident selection of JD Vance for VP. We also discuss the latest Emissions Reduction Plan from the Government, the continuation of the Darleen Tana Saga, some interesting speed camera policy and New Zealand’s poor OECD stats.

Another relentless week of policy and politics to recap on. The team first take you through their doom and glooms, including the Early Childcare Education sector (again), as well as the French election results and the implosion of President Biden and his Democratic Party and supporters. But after every storm, there is a rainbow – this week it is Going for Housing Growth, the smartest of RUC possibilities, and the brightest and breeziest places to work in Aotearoa in 2024.
