Andrew Dickens: Why has National had a fiscal crack at Labour so early

We’ve come to the end of a fascinating week in politics.

But what week in politics isn’t.

It kicked off last Sunday with Nicola Willis alleging a massive hidden bill in Labour’s policies.

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: Do we really need another special unit that costs more money?

Now, unfortunately, because it is an election year, we are apparently going to have the debate that we have every single election year: should we set up a special unit that costs each party's election promises independently?

And the answer to that question should be the same as it always is - no, we should not do this.
