Air travel spending, Coronavirus updates and Pest Free 2050: March 9th, 2020

This week Sherry spoke to Green party co-leader James Shaw.The taxpayers union recently announced that the Green party held the highest spending on flights. (Green Party list MPs spent $9816, compared to New Zealand First's $8059, and National's $7332, and Labour's $6499). This has brought about some criticism of the hypocrisy and irony due to the Green party’s stance on climate change, and minimising the carbon footprint. James responded to these criticisms, and also spoke on Coronavirus responses from the goverment and panic buying as NZ increases to 5 cases of the virus, and the recent annoucement from Conversation Minister Eugenie Sage on Pest Free 2050.
