The Huddle: Was David Seymour out of line today?

Tonight on The Huddle, Ali Jones from Red PR and Infrastructure NZ CEO Nick Leggett joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more! 

David Seymour is copping some backlash over his comments about TVNZ, namely reporter Benedict Collins and his coverage of Chris Luxon's accommodation subsidy. Was this an immature move on Seymour's part?

TVNZ has also confirmed they plan to cut up to 68 roles- our newsroom understands about 35 are news roles. Is this the right decision? How can the broadcaster adapt to our current media market?

The Government is pushing through new legislation to fast-track consenting. These measures will give ministers the final say to sign off on initiatives it considers to be of regional or national significance, including mining and roads. What changes will come from this?

The public sector has enacted new measures to cut costs. Some have encouraged workers to stay with friends when they travel for work and MSD has scrapped plunger coffee- is this a step too far? How else can the sector save money?

Virgin Australia will allow small pets to travel on domestic flights- what do we think of that?
