From First Up, 5:50 am on 23 March 2023

Cracks are starting to appear in the Labour - Green Party cooperation agreement with the Chris Hipkins administration ending work on a raft of climate change policies. The container and bottle recycling scheme and the cash for clunker cars programme both gone, work on Auckland light rail and other public transport improvements delayed. At his state of the planet speech this Sunday, Green Party co-leader James Shaw said "now is the time to finally shake off the shackles of visionless government". James Shaw spoke with Nathan Rarere.
