Should the Government buy back the BNZ, break up the supermarket giants, and overhaul New Zealand's electricity market? Former Financial Markets Authority chair and New Zealand First candidate Craig Stobo joins Peter Williams to put some of the party's biggest economic promises under the microscope.
With decades of experience in financial markets, Stobo faces tough questions on whether New Zealand First's ambitious plans would actually deliver lower prices and greater competition. The conversation also takes in compulsory KiwiSaver, Winston Peters' refusal to lift the superannuation age, tax cuts for small businesses, and whether New Zealand can afford everything being promised this election.
