Infrastructure is top of the agenda for the Government for the last months of 2024.

The Prime Minister this week released his Q4 action plan, with plenty of targets focussing on getting things built.

Among the 43 objectives is the highly controversial fast-track approvals bill, which it’s hoped will speed up the delivery of regional and national projects of significance.

The focus on infrastructure comes a week after the Government announced Dunedin’s new hospital could be downgraded due to budget concerns.

To discuss houses, roads, hospitals - and that niggly issue of budgets - today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop.

The Mood of the Boardroom is back today for its 22nd year.

The annual survey of the country’s top CEOs and business leaders has seen a broad tick of approval for the coalition Government, with strong support for Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis and their economic plan.

But they want to see the Government be bolder and set out their vision for New Zealand’s future, and that could include tackling some of the most contentious economic issues in our country.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Business Editorial Director Fran O’Sullivan is with us to digest the thoughts of our top business leaders.

Tensions in the Middle East are ramping up at an alarming rate.

Israel’s Defence Forces have said it has begun a "targeted" ground operation into southern Lebanon against “terrorist targets”.

It comes after days of airstrikes within Beirut’s city limits, which started after Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The escalation in the war has killed civilians, destroyed homes and displaced 1 million people in Lebanon.

Today on The Front Page, Waikato University international law professor, Al Gillespie joins us to discuss.
