Faceoff was on a Thursday before the long weekend, and Nick was joined by Capital NZ Director, and Jacinda Ardern's former chief of staff Neale Jones, along with BRG senior consultant, and former chief press secretary to Chris Luxon, Hamish Rutherford.

They discussed the major failure of Wellington's Moa Point treatment plant, what to expect politically from Waitangi Day, and possible coalition agreements after this year's election.

Also on the agenda was this week's driver licensing changes, and has Petone's Jackson Street taken the "cool" away from Wellington's Cuba Street?
