Gareth and Brigitte join me to talk about Labour's big week of policy announcements - we'll break them down and look at how and when they'll be paid for. We'll look at the politics of paid parental leave, MPs' valedictory speeches, what the polls are reporting and the Winston Peters conundrum for National.

Brigitte Morten is a director with public and commercial law firm Franks Ogilvie and a former senior ministerial advisor for the previous National-led government, a National Party member and currently volunteering for the party's deputy leader, Nicola Willis.

Gareth Hughes is a former Green MP and now works for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa.
