The Government has announced the purchase of Kiwibank.

It was owned by ACC, the Super Fund and NZ Post, before being purchased for $2.1 billion.

Meanwhile, the bigger talking point for the Government was Gaurav Sharma.

Jacinda Ardern says the Government won’t be holding an independent investigation on the issue as she says no basis to his claims.

And the Government will also allow some sectors to pay 12,000 migrant workers less than the median wage to address workplace shortages.

It will also temporarily increase access to the Working Holiday Scheme to address the shortage of casual workers more generally. 

Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
