CleanPain at the pump | Petrol prices are nearing record highs, and Kiwi households and business are starting to feel the pinch. Because our economy and transport sector is so reliant on oil, there are massive negative impacts every time the price spikes – in fact one analysis suggests that we go into a recession every time petrol goes over $1.80 a litre. We can expect ongoing price spikes in the future, as the world’s reserves of cheap oil are dwindling and political instability in oil producing nations threatens supply on the world market. I spoke to Green MPs Gareth Hughes and Kevin Hague about the significance of high oil prices to New Zealand. | 17 3 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanA view from the inside: anti-nuclear diplomacy in a cold cold world | Former diplomat and Green MP Kennedy Graham describes the mid-1980s as some of the best years of his life. New Zealand, under David Lange’s leadership, had just become nuclear free, making, in Kennedy’s words, the most fearless, independent, and moral foreign policy choice since nationhood.

But when the gloves are off, how do MPs from different parties get on? In this podcast three Green MPs - Catherine Delahunty, Kevin Hague, and Gareth Hughes - talk about their cross-party relationships. Can friendship flourish across the political battlefield?

CleanThe Great Bus Robbery | These are good times to own a bus company in Wellington. One company, Infratil, owns more than 90% of the bus market here. Whenever the regional council puts up a tender for a new bus service, there's only ever one bidder. It's a virtual transport monopoly and Wellington's ratepayers are paying up to 20% more than they should be to subsidise our bus services. When Greater Wellington recently announced their intentions to hold their first ever competitive tender in the Hutt Valley, Infratil announced plans to register their own service in the same area. Their move, which for reasons that will become clear, undermines the tender. Is this monopoly behaviour from our bus provider, Infratil? I talked to Green Party transport spokesperson Jeanette Fitzsimons to find out. | 14 10 09 | Free | View In iTunes |
