‘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.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
