Show Notes

The Prime Minister isn't concerned opening up to more mining could harm New Zealand's reputation.

More mining and drilling is on the cards under a new Government focus on economic growth, outlined today.

Chris Luxon explained we need critical minerals to build more roads and he wants quarries closer to where those roads are being built.

Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls says Luxon's committed to the development of more EVs and solar panels - and those resources need to come from somewhere.
