It's Politics Thursday, and this week Nick Mills is joined by Labour's Ginny Andersen and National's Tim Costley to debate the top political issues of the week.
The PSA strikes called for better pay, but Nick wonders if they got too political after Nicola Willis said union workers were told to wear red.
Our panel debate the necessity of the strike, with Costley pointing out the national average salary for public servants is $100k compared to $85k in the private sector.
Plus, does Wellington need a zoo, and should ratepayers have to pay nearly $14 million for a new lion enclosure?
