About this episode

The episode discusses the government's involvement in the Far North Council amidst rising political pressure and reactions to Winston Peters' tweet.

The government says they aren’t intervening in the Far North, but we’ve seen the letters that say otherwise. Officials are at the table, reporting back to Wellington, and the pressure is mounting. We dive into the co-governance creep National promised to stop and ask why they’re still being so soft. Plus, the panel reacts to Winston Peters’ most brutal tweet in 40 years.
