Political Correspondent, Guyon Espiner, will lead this one-hour
special which will also focus on where National is steering the
country looking forward.
Darryl Walker, who headed TVNZ's election coverage, is on board as
producer for both of the commissioned specials in TVNZ 7's
Spotlight On The Economy (the Beyond The Recession Summit and
National's First Year debate).
His focus in this event is unveiling National's strategy
layout.
"The recession has given momentum and urgency to the debate around New Zealand's long term economic future, and we want to clarify what National's vision for the future is, and in particular their budget plans", says Walker.
National's First Year is to commence with Espiner interviewing Bill English, where he will probe on how the government has managed New Zealand's response to the recession.
The second part will see Roger Douglas (ACT), Russel Norman (Greens) and David Cunliffe (Labour) critique National's first year in government.
"We want to know what they would do if they were in power," continues Walker.
The show will wrap with a panel of union representatives and
business commentators discussing and debating the issues raised
across the show.
Viewers asked Bill English many economy-related questions
on the website.
