Political commentators Gareth Hughes and Brigitte Morten join Kathryn to talk about Auckland's flood recovery and Wayne Brown's independent inquiry into the Auckland flood response - which he announced at the weekend.

How did the new PM go at Waitangi, what to make of his Cabinet reshuffle and will the latest poll numbers have buoyed Labour?

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