‘LUXON AT THE HELM: WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR, AND WHAT TO EXPECT’
The National-led government has just delivered its 100-day plan. Don't miss Max Rashbrooke's analysis of their performance to date...
Much of the 100-day plan is designed to undo Labour's legacy. The government is now starting to shape its own vision of New Zealand. What will that look like - and in particular, what will it mean for economic inequality and poverty?
Max Rashbrooke is Senior Research Fellow at Victoria University's School of Government, a writer and commentator with twin interests in economic inequality and democratic renewal. His latest book is 'Too Much Money: How Wealth Disparities are Unbalancing Aotearoa New Zealand'. He's also well-known for his regular columns, public lectures and media interviews, and for his TED talk on upgrading democracy, which has had 1.5m views.
