Look around Auckland, and you’ll see a spattering of planned, under-development, or moth-balled building projects.

The city’s ever-changing face often dominates Aucklander’s conversations – for good, or oftentimes, bad.

So as we prepare to ride the $5.5 billion City Rail Link this year, what else should we be excited about?

Or, are there more building sites going quiet than we realise?

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald property editor, Anne Gibson, will take us through the highs, and lows, of construction in Auckland.

New NCEA plan, tight deadline: What the overhaul leaves teachers still asking

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7784f840-c291-422a-924b-ad9000bbad71/clips/dd34bb5b-c6e7-455c-b415-b41900307ad2/transcript

It’s a trying time for the Government, with fuel prices and the Iran War affecting just about every Kiwi.

It’s something the Opposition knows all too well, handling a crisis not of their making, with Covid.

But, how are politicians of all stripes handling the pressure? 

How is the public feeling about their performance?

And, how much weight should we put on polls anyway? Are they nonsense? Or, are we only told to ignore them when a party’s doing poorly?

Today on The Front Page, lawyer and political commentator, Liam Hehir, is with us to talk politics, polls, and policy.

As fuel concerns grow, Act and NZ First rise while National slips

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7784f840-c291-422a-924b-ad9000bbad71/clips/3e6fb9e4-6951-4fb8-932c-b41800306faa/transcript

Every New Zealander at the moment is feeling the impact of the price of fuel.  

It’s something Finance Minister Nicola Willis has mentioned time and time again.  

She’s also made it incredibly clear that this government won’t make the same mistakes as the last – so, any financial assistance must be targeted, and temporary. 

That’s why she’s announced extra support for low-to-middle-income families. 

From April 7, about 143,000 working families with children will get an extra $50 a week through a boost to the in-work tax credit.  

But, what else could the Government do? What about the rest of the population without kids who are also still struggling to make ends meet? 

Today on The Front Page, Journalist and publisher of The Kākā, Bernard Hickey is with us to break down how a war about 15,000 kilometres away is affecting New Zealand’s economy, and New Zealanders’ wallets.
