Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is expected to give more details on major events funding at his weekly briefing following today's Cabinet meeting.
The Government yesterday announced a $70 million investment package aimed at supercharging New Zealand’s events and tourism sectors, introducing new money to attract global acts, support existing events, and drive regional visitor growth.
Also on the political agenda is the Tom Phillips case with Luxon saying this morning he expects there to be some kind of Government inquiry after the fugitive father was fatally shot by police last week.
On the global front, New Zealand said on Friday it will be lowering its price cap on Russian oil as part of a new set of sanctions against the Putin regime.
