Oh wow another beaut. I’ll have to subscribe to Bernard. That much more educated on those matters. I worry about all of you who have created their own Korero’s in that you may exhaust yourselves pushing for a daily item. (I’m not going to suggest say a couple combine and take specific days each as selfishly we would dip) Again thanks.
Thanks for this excellent interview that forces us to think of what the economy is actually for. Bryan's excellent documentaries on child poverty show NZ should be doing far better, not just because of the saving in health costs and a more productive healthy workforce, but as Bernard reminds us, for the children's own sakes. Spending more on primary care makes us healthier and reduces A&E and hospital costs, etc, it should not be about narrowly balancing the annual budget by reducing spending.
The latest bond auction would appear to suggest overseas buyers are not concerned about risk of being repaid in depreciated NZ dollars in the next 12 years, nor a return to higher interest rates.
I'd love you (Bryan) and Bernard to discuss whether the current account deficit and consequent overseas debt should be a focus, not some arbitrary government spending and debt targets. Policy on roads that increases our dependence on fossil fuels, as Bernard says, should take into account much more than time saving on journeys. Tantalizing discussion, could have been much longer thank you.
Excellent Bryan, very informative🙏🏽 I really like Bernard Hickey and will definitely look at subscribing to his substack🤔 Its also really good to know that your documentaries have and are making a difference👍😊
Excellent discussion, thank you Bryan and Bernard.
I think Bernard could be a little too kind on politicians; to me they are obviously driven by donations and lobbying from vested interests who want to continue business as usual with no regard for a changing climate or social disruption from massive inequity. Ganesh has an interesting series on the need for economic reform on his substack.
Absolutely agree with Bernard, you have made a difference with your documentaries & should be proud.
