The Prime Minister can't yet put final figures on how much has been spent on policies he's now scrapping. The TVNZ-RNZ merger is gone, and the social insurance scheme is on ice. Work on hate speech laws is also being withdrawn and won't be progressed this term - and the Biofuels mandate will be stopped. Chris Hipkins says changes to Three Waters will be considered soon. He says about 23 million's been spent on the merger - but final figures are still to come. Hipkins explained the nature of a re-prioritisation is that money already spent can't be recouped.
