Barry Soper: How will the Greens restore pay equity regime?

The Greens are promising to dedicate nearly $4.5 billion in funding for a care and support worker pay equity settlement over four years. 

Co-leader Marama Davidson says they'll reinstate the pay equity regime to what it was before the Government reduced the scope, and banked nearly $13 billion in savings.

Roughly 65,000 care and support workers had their claim cancelled in the reforms.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper unpacked the announcement further.
