On The Campaign: The campaign is over - but when will the new government be sworn in?

Violent crime is on the rise again. 

New figures show the number of victims has climbed to around 148,000 a year – up 9000 on the previous quarter. 

But dig into the numbers, and the picture gets a bit more complicated. 

So what is really happening with violent crime in New Zealand – and how much can we actually say about the Government’s record? 

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior journalist Derek Cheng is with us to crunch the numbers.

New Zealand’s housing market has taken another step backwards. 

Property values have now fallen for six months in a row, with the national median value dropping below the previous cycle low. 

And while buyers have more choice and bargaining power, there’s still little sign of a sharp rebound - with high mortgage rates, economic uncertainty and plenty of houses on the market keeping a lid on prices. 

So, what’s happening in the housing market, and how much longer could this subdued period last? 

Today on The Front Page, Cotality NZ chief property economist Kelvin Davidson is with us to break it all down.

New Zealanders are working. The economy is growing. So why aren’t we getting much more out of it? 

For more than a decade, New Zealand’s productivity growth has been painfully weak – and that could be one of the biggest economic problems facing the next Government. 

But you wouldn’t necessarily know it from the election campaign. 

The parties are promising tax cuts, more housing, cheaper groceries, changes to immigration and more spending on public services. 

But how many of those policies will actually make New Zealand more productive? 

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago economics associate professor Dennis Wesselbaum reckons productivity is the economic elephant in the room this election. He joins us now.
