Neale and Brigitte dive into the recent infrastructure debacles - no power for Northland, a grounded Air Force plane, and a stranded ferry - what will it take, and how much will it take, to fix?

And what did we learn from Parliament's 'scrutiny week'?

Neale Jones was Chief of Staff to Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern, and prior to that was Chief of Staff to Andrew Little.

He is the director of public affairs firm Capital.

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.
