Uh, truth is 150,000 unemployed, another 400,000 underutilized in New Zealand, one in four boys age 15 to 19, not working. 15% of 15 to 24 year ...

- The government says 2026 is when the economy will boost. But until then it’s all Labour’s fault. It’s confusing, isn’t it?
- 2025 was meant to boom but it’s been a bust. Unemployment is spiking - especially in Auckland. Tonight I'll show how many times in 15 minutes National blames Labour and I’ll show you why 2026 is expected to go off with a sonic boom.

- It’s a pre-election dance, bit of shadow boxing, a fight over who is the most credible party and person to run the NZ economy.
- Chris Luxon says his approach is so successful and he’s so confident in what he’s doing that he’s doubling down on it - meanwhile Chris Hipkins says Luxon ran his victory lap too early.
