Pollies: Labour's Ginny Andersen and National's Mark Mitchell on the Dunedin Hospital cost cuts and buy outs for flood victims - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Buyout blueprints are “on the way” after the severe flooding in Dunedin last week. 

Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell says they’re currently building legislation that can be used as a template for future disasters, streamlining the process. 

He told Mike Hosking that in terms of recovery, they’ve definitely moved the needle, and he’s hoping they’ll have most of the buyouts completed by the end of the year. 

Labour’s Ginny Andersen said that there are parts of New Zealand that will continue to be hit by weather events again and again, and the difficult question will be how, over the next 20 years, the safety of those communities can be improved.
