Sinopsis

Changes could be coming to the feebate scheme. The scheme has paid out nearly a $100 million more in rebates than it has collected in fees. Until the end of June, the scheme paid out $116.9 million in discounts, but it only collected $25m in revenue. It only began collecting fees on April 1 this year, and was funded by a $300 million loan from July 1 last year to April 1. Labour seems to be rushing through its donation legislation. The legislation – which will see donations of more than $5000 disclosed – had its first reading yesterday, with National and ACT opposing it. We could be hosting a future Commonwealth Games. Grant Robertson – who is in Birmingham attending the games – hasn’t ruled out the possibility. Newstalk ZB Political Editor Barry Soper joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
