Finance Minister Nicola Willis joins Nick Mills in the studio today to discuss the latest Infometrics report that suggests the economy will not recover convincingly this year. Willis shares what she thinks the economy will look like this year, and Nick asks about interest rates, OCR hikes and manage the banks power.

They also talk about the tragedy of Mount Maunganui, and how politics should play out during disasters and why the government and council’s have to do separate enquiries.

Willis shares the feelings in the National Party after Judith Collins departure from politics and what is next for her many portfolios.

And finally – the budget was announced for 28th May. What are the priorities? What can we expect?
