Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff, Charlotte Muru-Lanning asks if it’s time to douse our passion for cooking with gas, Chris Schulz checks in with Real Groovy’s biggest move yet and Alex Casey slithers through a history of New Zealand snake headlines. But first, Toby Manhire says to draw a big circle around next Wednesday.
“On Wednesday January 25, cabinet is expected to meet for the first time in 2023, after which the prime minister could emerge with as many as three major announcements. But wait. There’s more. Already the year’s first big official measure of the economy’s temperature will have been published in the form of the consumers price index. Take a breath. Calm your racing pulse. Let’s deal with them one at at a time.”
