Pollies: Labour's Ginny Andersen and National's Mark Mitchell on the police figures, tourism levy, and official advice

The Prime Minister is standing by the Government's military-style boot camp programme. 

Under the programme, children are spending three months in a youth justice residence and nine months getting community support under the current pilot programme. 

A leaked document from Children's Minister Karen Chhour has suggested giving military-style academy providers the power to use force could increase the risk of abuse. 

But Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking there are psychologists and social workers involved who are looking after the interests of young people. 

He says they are up at 6:30, in uniform, with a high level of physical training, but they're also writing resumes, thinking about job interviews, and have all the support they need. 

Luxon says that comparing the programme to abuse in state care is disingenuous. 

He told Hosking there was no oversight or monitoring decades ago, but they are now focused on care and rehabilitation. 

He says they have multiple layers of protection, and the checks and balances are there.

An education expert says the Government's targeted maths trial will help catch a lot of the students currently slipping through the cracks. 

The Government's announced a trial programme to accelerate the skills of about 2000 Year 7 and 8 students who are behind in maths.  

It will run in the first two terms of next year, with small-group tutoring and supervised online tuition up to four times a week. 

Education Hub Founder Nina Hood told Mike Hosking everyone can get maths, it's just about being taught in a way that builds skills. 

She says when people don't get those basic skills, it prevents them from doing more advanced maths. 

Hood says the tutoring pairs well with the new incoming curriculum, and if it’s done right, there’ll need to be less intervention over time.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris remain neck-and-neck on the eve of polling day, but one top polling expert is picking the election for Trump. 

Trump is spending the day in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan. 

Harris is focusing on Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state with 19 Electoral College votes. 

Polling analyst Henry Olsen told Mike Hosking he believes Trump will narrowly win more Electoral College votes. 

He says the country has shifted to the right, and Harris isn't winning enough independent voters to offset that.
