#BHN Barb Edmonds on unemployment numbers | Luxon says nothing in ZB hour | 90,000 march for Gaza

Best of August

Finance Minister Nicola Willis remains hopeful that unemployment will start to reduce sometime this year but given global economic uncertainty with Donald Trump's trade wars she won't give a more exact time frame, Labour's Barb Edmonds joins us LIVE to discuss.

Christopher Luxon was on Newstalk ZB today for an hour explaining how much he enjoyed the format of discussing issues "a bit deeper" all while not going in-depth at all in any way just continuing on the same old talking points.

An estimated 90,000 people have marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in one of many protests against the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.

The bridge was closed to traffic for much of the day and police say the situation came close to catastrophe at times.
