## Resource

On today's episode Corin Dann talks us through the critique of monetary policy in the time of Covid. One in ten New Zealanders has kidney disease, we spend $340 million a year on dialysis machines; Midday Report has first access to the election wish list from kidney specialists. And New Zealand is a lobbying paradise with no regulation for lobbying - the Greens plan to change that. We scrutinise their plan with party co-leader Marama Davidson.
