Also, some government departments aren't holding Christmas parties ... Labour's police spokesperson Ginny Andersen and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.
The audio segment from Newstalk ZB features Ginny Andersen, Labour MP, and Mike Butterick, National MP, discussing several key political issues on Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills. They talk about the upcoming Scrutiny Week, where MPs will scrutinize government spending and policy effectiveness. Andersen highlights the benefits of this process in ensuring government accountability, while Butterick expresses concerns about the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of some government initiatives. Additionally, they touch on the topic of public sector Christmas parties, debating the appropriateness of such expenditures during times of economic restraint. The conversation also covers recent changes to benefits, with Andersen defending the adjustments as necessary support for those in need, and Butterick questioning the long-term sustainability of these changes.
