Truancy, Trade Deals, and the National Party Pivot | The Select Committee

In this episode of The Select Committee, we examine the government’s push to lift school attendance by prosecuting parents, and whether a more consistent approach will make a lasting difference.

We then turn to the newly signed free trade agreement with India, asking who stands to benefit and what the deal signals for New Zealand’s economic future.

Finally, we consider whether the National Party is taking a more aggressive approach to the media—and if so, whether it represents sound political strategy.

We wrap the show with our favourite segment, Fantasy Beehive, where we rank MP performance using our highly advanced, completely proprietary technology.
