Wellington is not going to collapse. In today's episode, Duncan Garner tackles the upcoming public service job cuts as Nicola Willis prepares a much-needed reset for the bloated bureaucracy. With eight thousand workers set to go and the Treasury already banking billions in future savings, the political media bubble is heading into complete hysteria.

Duncan compares these changes to the challenges that everyday Kiwis face in the private sector when companies close overnight. It is tough, but it is life right now. We also check out listener emails about frustrating mortgage experiences with local banks and let you know how to vote in our latest daily poll.
