Political Commentary

Professor Jennifer Curtin dials in for some Political Commentary about the pressures of politics, the trans-Tasman relationship and recent polls. Whakarongo mai nei!

Rod Oram gives us some Political Commentary about what themes appear to be revealing themselves in the policy announcements from parties leading up to this year's election, as well as his thoughts on the reforms of the Resource Management Act. Whakarongo mai nei!

Rod Oram speaks to Rachel about Michael Wood's resignation, National’s emissions policy (which he has written about in depth here), proposals for shifting the ETS to make it an incentive to reduce emissions rather than offsetting in forests and contrasts our climate policies from major parties with the major party plans of the UK. Whakarongo mai nei!

On a big day for council and the electoral system we have a bit of Political Commentary from Rod Oram. He also discusses National’s potential withdrawing of support for He Waka Eke Noa, the farm emissions working group. Whakarongo mai nei!
