Finance Minister Bill English in his last TV interview before the Budget. With a potential AMI bailout putting more pressure on the government accounts, what can we expect come May? What does this mean for the planned state asset sales? And where does he draw the line between necessities and ‘nice to haves’?

Paul Holmes talks to new police commissioner Peter Marshall, who started in the job this week. Under strict instructions to reform the police and reconnect HQ with the cops on the beat, what changes does he have planned? Can he overhaul its culture in just three years?
