The Government has unveiled its plan to try to fix New Zealand's housing crisis with specific assistance for first-home buyers.The package, revealed by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, also includes $3.8 billion to boost the number of houses being built and other measures to make life harder for property speculators.It comes as New Zealand property prices continue to hit record highs, outstripping pre-Covid levels by $130,000, OneRoof figures show.The nationwide median property value was at January 30 was $750,000 - surging 13.8 per cent in the nine months since the Covid pandemic hit our shores.However, the package has sparked backlash from all corners - with first-home buyers saying its not enough to get them on the ladder, while landlords are raging over what it means for them. There are calls for more drastic change - with one NZ Herald commentator saying that a sharp fall in house prices is needed. TVNZ political reporter Katie Bradford and Newstalk ZB and Gold host Andrew Dickens joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss why the package doesn't do a lot for most people, and how a fall in house prices could help the economy. LISTEN ABOVE

Katie Bradford Osborne is an artist, mother, creative brand consultant, teacher, curator, gallerist, and, more than anything, a woman on a mission to empower other women! She offered so much wonderful advice and great tips for artists. I took notes to implement in my own art practice. It was so helpful to chat with a curator and gallerist who is so giving and cares deeply about supporting artists. I also loved hearing about her artwork and how she balances the more structured, planned out business side of her personality with the intuitive nature of her work. She talked about her sacred studio time and listening to the materials as they speak to her. Do you feel that? Before COVID-19 shut everything down, Katie was a homeschool art teacher in Houston, Texas, a job that started out with filling a niche and quickly became a passion. Although it could be argued that having to quit her art classes was what allowed Katie to follow her big dream in 2020, opening Roaring Artist Gallery, a virtual art gallery supporting and showcasing womxn-identifying artists, as a close friend said, “I just can't imagine Katie doing anything that doesn't involve some kind of sharing of knowledge.” Focus has just shifted from homeschool kids back to emerging women artists!

The future of Speaker Trevor Mallard is up in the air, after it was revealed tax payer's shelled out almost $334,000 to settle a legal bill.It follows defamation action brought by a sacked Parliamentary staffer who Mallard wrongly labelled a rapist.National got the payment details through a written question to Mallard and says it's lost confidence in him as Speaker.Leader Judith Collins says the sheer size of the settlement's illustrates how serious the matter is.Speaking on The Sunday Panel with Francesca Rudkin, TVNZ political reporter Katie Bradford says that Mallard is in a tricky situation, and his stubbornness reared its head."He can't accept that he was wrong and he let it carry on when he should have stayed away."Political commentator Ben Thomas says that Mallard is known for his violent outbursts and bullying of civil servants, but believes that this is a case of him having good intentions after the report into bullying at Parliament. "I think Mallard is a victim of being too online, spending too much time on the internet in what people spend too much time on online call 'the discourse', wherein this post-Me Too world, everything from bullying and workplace harassment and what Mallard falsely alleged as rape collapsed into this one thing."He says this is a situation where Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is a victim of her own kindness, as seen in her past refusal to fire troublesome ministers."The part she can't to punish or take action against members of her team that she on a personal level likes."Thomas says that if Mallard showed an appropriate apology, he could find a way through this. LISTEN ABOVE

A win win is how the Green Party's touting its cooperation agreement with Labour - which has now been inked on the dotted line.Greens members last night agreed to the deal - with around 85 percent voting in favour.Speaking at the signing on the Beehive's 9th floor today - co-leader Marama Davidson told reporters the party understands the opportunity.She says for the first time in MMP history - a party with a clear majority has afforded ministerial positions and cooperation areas... while still allowing the Greens to maintain a unique voice.However, political reporter Katie Bradford, speaking on the Sunday Panel with Francesca Rudkin, says Davidson will likely struggle in her Associate Minister of Housing role, where she has "Labour have quelled an area of attack that the Greens could have gone after Labour on. And now what's going to happen is that anything goes wrong, homelessness doesn't magically get fix, Marama Davidson and the Greens would be blamed for it."Political commentator Thomas Pryor says that it was sensible for Labour to make a deal, as it neutralises some areas of attack. "You want to keep the Greens a little bit close as it's highly likely the next election they'll need them."The rest of the ministerial roles will be announced tomorrow. Pryor says that Minister of Health will be interesting, after Chris Hipkins took over the role from David Clark, while a number of portfolios have been freed up by New Zealand First. He says that Ayesha Verrall will likely be one of the only newcomers to make it into Cabinet. "I'd be surprised if any entirely new faces became Ministers on Monday." Bradford says the role of Deputy Prime Minister will be interesting, with the position also vacated by Winston Peters.With the Foreign Affairs role likely going to an experienced Minister, Bradford says that creates issues as portfolios would have to be reassigned through a limited pool of experience.She says that this has to be a term of delivery, and the Government will need to be brave. LISTEN ABOVE

NZ First leader Winston Peters has thanked voters, volunteers and NZ First staff around New Zealand at the Duke of Marlborough in Russell."Ladies and Gentleman elections are bout democracy and what the people wish and we should never stop trusting the people," he said."We committed ourselves three year ago to be a constructive partner with government."To provide certainty and stability in a fast-changing world."To those who have been successful tonight - our congratulations," he said."For 27 years, there has been one party which has been prepared to challenge the establishment."As for the next challenge, we'll all have to wait and see," he said.NZ First MP Shane Jones said the results of tonight would be the "fruits of democracy" however the night ended for the party.But he added that it should be said he and NZ First has stuck to its promise to the regions of the country, pumping investment into areas long neglected."No one will ever say of the last three years that NZ First and Shane Jones, for the North and the provinces, did not deliver."Northland, sadly, had been neglected for a long period of time."

Listen above as political reporter Katie Bradford and commentator Ben Thomas join Francesca Rudkin to discuss the news of the weekGreen Party co-leader James Shaw is full of disdain but unsurprised at Winston Peters' "politics of division", which he calls a desperate plea for votes.Peters yesterday delivered a blistering race-relations speech in Orewa that recalled then-National leader Don Brash's "one law for all" speech in 2004, which saw National surge in the polls.Peters said that too many Māori were "stuck in the past and they want you to pay for it", and that he had threatened to upend the coalition in order to block a deal over Ihumātao."If Labour governs after the election, by themselves, heaven forbid, or with the Greens, God help us all, then they will do a deal at Ihumātao," Peters said yesterday.Peters said a deal would see a flood of settled Treaty of Waitangi claims being re-opened, even though the occupants say it's not a treaty issue but one of cultural heritage.Grant Robertson, the minister leading negotiations around Ihumātao, has also said there is no intention to do anything that could unravel full and final treaty settlements.Shaw said today that Peters was up to his old tricks by misrepresenting the issue."That's his shtick. He's trying to use the politics of division to drive up his vote and get back into Parliament. I don't like it, I never have liked it."I was completely unsurprised. A bit saddened."Shaw said Peters' tactic wouldn't resonate because people had moved on from "that view of the world"."He's just desperate for votes, to tell you the honest truth, and he's falling back on an old formula that's worked for him in the past, and I just hope that people see through it."Shaw and Peters have become increasingly critical of each other in recent months as the campaign neared, and today Shaw pitched a Labour-Greens Government at a public meeting at the East Harbour Women's Club in Eastbourne.He outlined three crisis issues at the meeting - poverty, climate change and biodiversity.He talked through the Greens' wealth tax on net assets over $1 million, the next phase of climate action to target specific industries - agriculture, heating and transport - and greater protections for marine life and oceans."Transport is the one I'm really worried about," said Shaw, who will release policy about this next week."We've completely fallen in love with Ford Rangers. For every electric car, we bring in 16 Ford Rangers. Transport emissions are frankly out of control."He also took a shot at National Party leader Judith Collins, who he said was "harvesting grievance" for saying that Labour and the Greens hated farmers.Sustainability issues around food and fibre production were being led by the farmers themselves, Shaw said."They want to solve that problem, and want support for that transition. It really irritates me when I hear people saying that we hate farmers. What we want is better for farmers."Green co-leader James Shaw told a public meeting in Eastbourne that the best way to make Jacinda Ardern PM again was to party vote Green. Photo / Derek ChengIt was "counter-intuitive", he said, but the best way to make Jacinda Ardern Prime Minister again was to party vote Green, which would ensure the centre-left bloc is bigger than the centre-right.If the Greens didn't make it back to Parliament, there would be more than 100,000 wasted votes on the left; there were 162,000 Green voters in 2017.Afterwards, he told the Herald that messaging around strategic voting needed to sharpen as October 17 inched closer."It's around when we're hovering on the [5 per cent] threshold. There's a group of [left-leaning] people that I know are sitting there thinking, 'What's the best use of our vote?' I would argue it's to give the party vote to the Green Party."The Greens were at 6 per cent support in Tuesday's 1 News Colmar Brunton poll, which followed Shaw's mea culpa for his advocacy for the private Gr...

Jacinda Ardern will today be thrashing out the pros and cons of delaying the election.The Prime Minister is due to give an update tomorrow at 10am, amid calls from the likes of National leader Judith Collins to postpone the election until November.ZB political reporter Aaron Dahmen says Ardern could delay the dissolution of Parliament further, which would effectively delay the election date.He says after Parliament's dissolved, the decision goes into the hands of the Electoral Commission.A Chief Electoral Officer can then delay voting for up to three days and can push back the election for a week at a time, after consulting the Prime Minister and Opposition leader.1 News reporter Katie Bradford and political commentator Ben Thomas joined Francesca Rudkin to discuss who would benefit from delaying the election, whether a delay would change the outcome, and if the Prime Minister faces a difficult choice.LISTEN ABOVE

Todd Muller and Nikki Kaye likely face a difficult challenge when it comes to the September election. The two have rolled Simon Bridges and Paula Bennett for the National Party leadership and deputy role respectively, after two polls showed National and Bridges' popularity had dropped. However, there are rumours that Muller won narrowly - with some sources claiming there was just one vote separating the leaders."It came down to a number of MPs very worried about their survival and about having a job in Parliament after the election."The issue now for Muller and Kaye is trying to make their mark before going to the polls in September.If they don't win, Bradford says the party could then be in the same position again at the end of the year."If National lose, can they hold onto those jobs, or will the party want to see someone else come in? And that's the risk Todd and Nikki have taken in doing this, is they know the task ahead of them now is massive."
