After a busy week in the beehive, Labour MP Ginny Andersen and National MP for Otaki join Nick Mills to dissect the hot topics of the week.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon faced a vote of confidence yesterday and came out victorious. Chris Penk has been dropped as a minister.
Costley says Luxon has the full support of his caucus as leader of the National Party. Our panel debate how unified the party are, and if the country is better off with Luxon as leader.
Also on the agenda is the potential for forced council amalgamation, and the polls showing the Opportunities Party may be the deciders this election.
