Jacinda Ardern discusses price of NZ First support

From Morning Report, 7:26 am on 25 October 2017

Labour is set to unveil the ministers who will oversee its ambitious government programme this morning. Yesterday, it revealed more than 70 different commitments or concessions it made to New Zealand First and the Greens in order to take power. The centrepiece of the arrangement with New Zealand First is a $1 billion a year fund for regional development. The incoming Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the money will come out of the unallocated spending Labour had set aside in its budget. She joins Susie Ferguson to discuss the details.
