The Greens’ new mining policy isn’t just bold. Duncan calls it what it is - reckless economic sabotage. In today’s episode, he breaks down exactly what it would mean if a future government tore up mining permits that companies had already spent years and millions securing. Investor confidence falls through the floor, regions lose jobs, and Kiwi workers head to Australia because the opportunities here get pulled out from under them. New Zealand First's Shane Jones joins the show to unpack the scale of the damage, from constitutional overreach to the reality of what foreign investors are saying behind closed doors. If the Greens want to scare off capital before projects even start, Duncan argues, this is exactly how to do it. We also hear from a government worker offering rare insight into real public sector cuts, despite claims to the contrary. It’s all part of a bigger question - how do we build anything in this country, when every long-term project becomes a political football?
