Correspondents Dale Husband and Tim Hurdle join Kathryn to discuss Chris Hipkins ruling out any possibility of Labour working with New Zealand First and Winston Peters post-election - even as the party creeps up in the polls.
They'll also talk about what to expect in the last week of Parliament, the passage of the Three Waters legislation, the boon to National Party coffers, the contempt ruling against National MP Tim van de Molen and what the PREFU opening of the books might reveal in two weeks.
Dale Husband is a long time broadcaster and Radio Waatea presenter hosting a Maori focused current affairs programme.
Tim Hurdle is a former National senior adviser, was the National Party Campaign Director in 2020. He is a director of several companies, including Museum Street Strategies, a public affairs firm.
