On with the show:

The Act Party leader comments on Jacinda Ardern’s shock departure and her replacement Chris Hipkins’ election chances, why he’s not at Rātana today and why he reckons the economy will spell the death knell for the Government.

Jen Scoular:

The chief executive of NZ Avocado, and the president of the World Avocado Congress, looks forward to hosting 1000-plus members of the global avocado community in Auckland on April 2-5.
