The Panel with David Cormack and Michelle Boag (Part 1)

From The Panel, 4:05 pm on 31 May 2019

Topics - There have been many reaction to yesterday's Wellbeing Budget, columns about the winners and losers. Today we look at some of the announcements that were overlooked and we're joined by Ricardo Menendez from Auckland Action Against Poverty who explains whether this budget has delivered for the most vulnerable. The PPTA will take part in two waves of industrial action starting June 4, it announced today. It comes just days after around 50,000 primary and secondary teachers marched nationwide, demanding better pay and conditions. The minister says there is no budging on the $1.2 million deal the Government has offered. So where do we go from here? How will these strikes end? The panellists discuss.
