  Louise Upston: National's tourism spokesperson on the party pledging to make trans-Tasman travel more seamless

  Sep 30, 20266 min

  National says it'll make trans-Tasman travel more 'seamless' if re-elected. The party is promising to trial fully digitalising airport processes between Australia and New Zealand, so people don't need to show passports. Eligible travellers could provide details digitally and pass through gates with facial recognition. Tourism spokesperson Louise Upston says this will make the process faster and encourage more Australians to come to New Zealand.  "In 2009, when National was last in office, we got the SmartGate technology - and so this is really the next step, which means you don't have to have your physical passport as you're moving through the airport."  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Jenee Tibshraeny: NZ Herald Wellington business editor on the Government potentially 'going soft' on NZ Super reforms?

  Sep 30, 20265 min

  The current Government earlier indicated they could be looking to make changes to NZ Super and adjust the eligibility age, but they've changed their tone ahead of election season. Chris Luxon and Nicola Willis recently declined opportunities to explicitly back the policy when asked about it after Treasury released its Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update earlier this week. NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny says it seems like there's a shift, but they haven't unveiled any campaign announcements related to NZ Super yet.
