In a sweeping policy reset, the government has axed the RNZ/TVNZ merger and pushed back work on hate speech and its social insurance scheme. The shake-up comes after the new Prime Minister Chris Hipkins promised to refocus on the cost-of-living - and includes an increase to the minimum wage. Mr Hipkins says his Ministers have been doing too much, too fast.
