Under the Government’s changes to water services, household water bills in Christchurch are expected to increase by $900 a year on average and, in Selwyn, the increase could be as high as $1800 a year.

Local Government Minister Simon Watts says the Government’s alternative to Labour’s 3 Waters policy is “the best approach” to resolving water infrastructure challenges.

But how do you feel about the prospect of paying a lot more for your water?

How would you feel about New Zealand building small nuclear reactors to generate more power?

That’s what the Maxim Institute is calling for today - saying that, if we did, some of the world’s biggest technology companies could be attracted here to establish big data centres, adding billions of dollars to the economy.

It says, in the 1970s, it was assumed that New Zealand would one-day use nuclear energy to generate power. But that changed in the 1980s because of nuclear testing in the Pacific.

A senior researcher at the Maxim Institute is saying today that he thinks New Zealanders could be talked back into nuclear power generation.

How would you feel about local body politicians getting a 26 percent pay increase?

That’s what’s on the cards for Selwyn councillors sitting around the council table after this year’s local body elections.

But it doesn’t stop there. Waimakariri councillors are in-line for a 22 percent increase.

It’s because the pool of money set aside to pay councillor salaries is increasing in those two areas because of population growth.

The salary levels are set by the Remuneration Authority, which is the independent body that sets pay levels for politicians and other people in key public service roles.

Do you think these pay rises are warranted?

Call 0800 80 10 80 from 9am and be part of the conversation.

What’s your reaction to former prime minister Dame Jacinda Ardern, former finance minister Grant Robertson, former health minister Ayesha Verrall and current Labour leader and former COVID-19 minister Chris Hipkins being no-shows at the covid inquiry?

They’re refusing to front up, saying they are fully co-operating behind the scenes and that, appearing in person, could lead to family members being abused and recordings of the hearings being “tampered with and misused”.

Is this good enough?

Tune in from 9am and call 0800 80 10 80 to tell us what you think.

Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon says his council will be opposing NZTA’s plan to charge car drivers $2:50 for a return trip on the new Woodend Bypass.

He says, for the average workday commuter, it will amount to about $1300 a year - something many families can’t afford.

It will cost $5 for trucks.

The principal of Kaiapoi North School, Jason Miles, believes most locals will avoid the toll road and use the road that goes past his school instead, and says he’s deeply concerned about the impact that could have on the safety of his students.

How do you feel about the plan to make drivers pay to use the new bypass?

Do you think Christopher Luxon is as unpopular as the latest 1News-Verian poll and other polls say he is?

Last night’s preferred Prime Minister result was his lowest in two years - putting him on 20 percent. Labour’s Chris Hipkins is breathing down his neck on 19 percent.

If you believe the polls, why do you think Christopher Luxon is so unpopular and how do you rate his chance of winning another election?
