High rents, rising food costs and a perceived lack of opportunities are driving young people out of New Zealand. Last year, more people left than ever before. What can be done to improve living conditions and stop the loss of young talent? The current government has opened the question of Māori land rights in a quest to exploit New Zealand's natural resources. An attempt to overturn a historic treaty failed last year, but as New Zealand faces an election in the autumn, the issue will not go away. There is much to debate for Jonny Dymond and a panel of political leaders as they face questions from across the country.
The Panel:
Chris Bishop, MP, National Party and Minister for Housing, Transport and Infrastructure and Leader of the House.
Ginny Andersen, MP, Labour Party’s Spokeswoman on Jobs, Income, Police and Treaty of Waitangi negotiations.
Shane Jones, MP, Deputy Leader of New Zealand First and Minister of Oceans and Fisheries
Marama Davidson, MP, Co-leader of the Green party and Spokeswoman on Conservation, Child Poverty Reduction and Social investment.
Producer: Charlie Taylor
Sound engineers: Tim Heffer, Ian Mitchell and Joe Lawrence
