About this episode

The episode discusses Labour's new party list and its implications for job protection and government spending.

We break down the lineup with pollster David Farrar to see who is safe and who got sidelined. Plus, we look at a staggering $230,000 advisor role at ACC that proves the message about government spending cuts is clearly not getting through. Learn more about your ad choices.
