The Prime Minister clearly would’ve preferred not to talk Gaurav Sharma today. The caucus will meet tomorrow to discuss Sharma’s future in the party in wake of more explosive accusations. However, Jacinda Ardern says there won’t be an investigation as there is no basis to his claims. The Government have also announced that they have bought Kiwibank. They bought it off ACC, the Super Fund and NZ Post for $2.1 million today. The Government will allow some sectors to pay skilled migrant workers less than the median wage, in a bid to address workplace shortages across the country. It will also temporarily increase access to the Working Holiday Scheme to address the shortage of casual workers more generally.  Newstalk ZB Political Editor Barry Soper joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
