For our business panel this week Nick is joined in the studio by Retail NZ CEO, Carolyn Young and employment law expert and partner at JB Morrison, Tess von Dadelszen.

Young and von Dadelszen discuss doing business in the city, in such hostile times in terms of international, national and local politics. 

Starting with the effect of the Iran conflict, what are the effects of instability and price rises having on their businesses and their clients? 

The council financial saving plan is out. Will this actually change anything for businesses? How do our guests think this council is going?

Then onto how their businesses are effected by our own government's instability. As talk continues about Luxon as leader, our panel discuss how their businesses are impacted from both a retail and legal point of view. 

And how are business leaders coping with the cost of living crises, how selling and buying businesses is going and as a city what we need to do better. 

Plus as the Moa Point saga continues, Mayor Andrew Little says that businesses will not receive financial compensation, although spending in Lyall Bay hospitality is down 40% - our guests look into the legality of this and how businesses can deal with the disaster.
