For Politics Thursday this week, Nick Mills is joined by National Minister Tama Potaka and Labour MP Ginny Andersen.
We hear their reaction to the latest GDP figures of 0.8% and if the economy on the right path - even with the looming results of the quarter impacted by the Iran War and oil crisis.
Then onto the top stories of the week - the MBIE $30 million scandal. What needs to happen with employees involved with hiding the failing BCU project from the Minister? How is it being ensured it will not happen again?
And is a yearly loss of $8.7 billion to our economy from injuries acceptable? Our panel take a look into ACC and the viability of its current system.
Plus, Potaka and Andersens view on the Green's proposal for a budget office, and a battle of the Chiefs and Hurricanes - who has it in the bag?
