Prime Minister Christopher Luxon joined Mike Hosking in studio this morning for their weekly chat.

With the budget coming up this week they spoke about the pre-budget announcements so far, and what's yet to come. 

Luxon said that more spending announcements will be revealed on Thursday, but the budget is strict. 

"That's what we have to have, good fiscal financial discipline year in year out in order to get the ship, you know, the books back in order again."
