Kāinga Ora has been purged, KiwiRail has lost three directors, senior public servants are retiring or being encouraged to pursue alternative careers.
Where does it stop? This week on Raw Politics the panel tries to anticipate other targets in the public service and state owned businesses who might fall into the coalition’s crosshairs for “refreshing”.
Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, senior political writer Emma Hatton and co-editor Tim Murphy explore why and how new administrations show their frustration with organs of the state that are deemed not sufficiently with the new programme.
We debate Act’s invoking the coalition’s ‘agree to disagree’ mechanism over the Government’s backing of the new law targeting Facebook and Google for money to support the struggling NZ news media sector. And we debate the merits of that media policy and politicians playing a part in directing funding to news companies.
Panelists give their views on the Government’s latest quarterly action plan, and answering a reader question, we find out who will provide the political coverage for the new Stuff-run Three News when it begins on Saturday after Newshub signs off forever.
