Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fatal helicopter crash was a charter flight | Mon 18 May
Q: What details have emerged about the helicopter crash near Wanaka?
Claire Sherwood describes the helicopter crash as a double fatal incident, notes that the two people on board were killed at the scene, mentions the helicopter was owned by the Wallace family, and explains that the Civil Aviation Authority and the Transport Accident Investigation Commission are investigating.
Sweden moves away from state welfare | Mon 18 May
Q: What's driving the growth now, and what role do weight-loss drugs have in that trajectory?
The growth is driven by a shift away from government ownership toward privatization and free-market reforms, including selling government-held companies and expanding private pension investing, which supports more dynamic growth. The changes aim for sustained growth around 2% annually through 2030, a pace comparable to the US and higher than some European peers.
NZ First on plans to buy BNZ | Mon 18 May
Q: But why not today? It clearly indicates that you don't know the answers, so you're just flying a flag.
The guest reframes the timing as intentional, suggesting the policy is part of a broader, provocative campaign to stimulate debate rather than immediate implementation.
NZ First on plans to buy BNZ | Mon 18 May
Q: So does that mean you don't know yet how much you might have to pay for it, where you get the money from, and what it'll do to our debt position?
The guest explains that details are not final yet and that proposals are exploratory, with the full contours to be laid out as the campaign progresses.
Market update with Forsyth Barr | Mon 25 May
Q: Zoe, what are you looking out for on the budget?
I'm watching how the government maintains fiscal prudence, whether the outlook moves to negative in some agencies, and if there are any clear steps to bridge potential gaps that could push the surplus timeline back, all of which will influence inflation and debt trajectories.
