The Prime Minister says visitors should be able to enjoy new investments in our city-centres - without feeling intimidated.

The Government's introducing "move-on" orders - allowing Police to order people begging and sleeping rough,  to leave a public space for up to 24 hours. 

They'll be slapped with a $2000 fine or up to three months’ imprisonment if they refuse.

Chris Luxon told Mike Hosking that in Auckland alone, the City Rail Link will be up and running later this year - and the International Convention Centre's already bringing in visitors.
