Sue and Tim join Paddy to talk about yesterday's National Party conference, where Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced plans to fast-track changes to the maths curriculum in the wake of what he labelled "appalling" results of Year 8 students.

They'll also discuss the start to boot camps, removal of a controversial part of the Oranga Tamariki Act, bullying and personal attacks at Parliament, tax cut delivery and the shelving of eight recommendations from the royal commission into the Christchurch terror attacks.

Sue Moroney is a former Labour MP and now chief executive of Community Law Centres Aotearoa.

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.
