Prime Minister To
Host Radio Live Show Tomorrow
Prime Minister John Key
will be hosting a one-hour radio show this Friday, 30th
September from 2pm on RadioLIVE.
In a first for
RadioLIVE, the show will feature the Prime Minister,
listeners and some very special guests including Sir Richard
Branson and Richie McCaw.
General Manager of
RadioLIVE Jana Rangooni says: “This has been done in the
UK and US but not, to the best of my knowledge, in New
Zealand.
"We hope to make this an annual event for
whoever is the Prime Minister at the time.”
RadioLIVE listeners will have the opportunity to talk to
John Key directly, sharing what’s on their minds, and
putting questions to the Prime Minister via phone and

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
