Description:

Last week on the show we had a wonderful guest co-host, CEO of the Irrigation New Zealand Elizabeth Soal and she closed the show with her dream utopia this election that we stop politicising water and create a Water Commission.

So how do we de-politice something that every New Zealand cares so deeply about going into the 2020 election?

Vernon Tava from the new Sustainable New Zealand party has many new policies that address environmental concerns whilst ensuring it is balanced with sustainable economic growth.

Spreading mistruths to sway the urban vote in favour of Labour & Greens supporters seemed like a home run last election, but Vernon wants to change the conversation that the environment and the economy are interdependent.

Vernon also welcomes Greens co-leader James Shaw to his party away from the extreme anti-capitalism party Vernon was once apart of.
