A few spots you may have caught me recently...
- Olivia Wannan asked me about some of the carbon spend in the most recent budget. It's just nuts. The biggest constraint in getting to Net Zero is maintaining public support for rising carbon prices. So the government decides to throw ETS revenues at a pile of low-value business subsidies instead of rebating it back to households as a carbon dividend.
- I had a chat with RNZ's The Detail about subsidies for major sporting events - this time, soccer.
- My column in this week's Newsroom ($, ungates tomorrow by pulling the /pro from the URL) is on National's pulling away from support of Medium Density Residential rules. National wants to maintain ability for cities to go up, but without MDRS, while making it easier for them to also go out. Labour, at least in 2017, wanted cities to be able to go out as well as up. I have a go at trying to find what might be an intersection of the two.
