(Interview recorded on 7 April 2026)

 

Paul Brennan, host of Money Talks, is joined by Simon Angelo, editor of Wealth Morning. Here’s what they are discussing this week:

  • The oil crisis is causing pain and grief in New Zealand. Is our heavy reliance on Asian refineries a weakness? Is it time for us to explore a credible alternative?
  • The government is rolling out subsidies to ease the discomfort. But is this knee-jerk reaction a fallacy? Do we actually need a major structural overhaul in energy resilience?
  • Young Kiwis are continuing to leave because of our country’s sluggish malaise. Is tax reform the secret for boosting New Zealand’s competitiveness? Can we reverse our brain drain?
