Grant Robertson: Finance Minister on the repair and upgrading of cyclone damaged schools

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

Schools left in various states following Cyclone Gabrielle won't just be fixed up, they'll be upgraded. The Government's billion dollar support package focuses on rebuilding roads, rails, and schools, with 100 million set aside to improve resilience for future events. Finance Minister Grant Robertson told Mike Hosking that some schools need minor repairs, but others need to be relocated entirely. He says repairing a school to the way it was before the cyclone won't cut it, we need to improve its resilience as well. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
