Politics Thursday: Labour's Kieran McAnulty and National's Katie Nimon on tourst levy, toast scandal

Will the increased $100 visitor levy reduce our tourism numbers, and was the removal of toast for new mums at Wellington Hospital a cost-cutting exercise?  Those were the questions for the politics panel this week, with Labour's housing and local government spokesman based in the Wairarapa Kieran McAnulty, and newcomer Katie Nimon, National MP for Napier. The pair also discussed their reactions to the death of Kingi Tuheitia, the crowning of a new Maori Queen, and the NZTA's transport investment plan.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
