| Neil Collins and John talk about the fluctuations in the dollar and the role played by the international stock market in currency valuation before moving on to a general discussion about the growing concerns New Zealanders have about crime management and health services delivery. On the surprise kerfuffle about Air New Zealand having transported Australian troops to staging grounds for the Iraq war, John notes that it is difficult to believe that no ministers knew when so many senior officials did. Neil asks about housing affordability and John sketches out National's concerns and policy directions. The interview closes with a discussion of TVNZ political satire programme, Face Lift. |
