In this episode: the latest political poll is out – who’s heading into the new year break in the strongest position (and I make a prediction about a possible resignation over the summer); should the government fund obesity treatment; should the government fund Maori media if they’re already funding the likes of Radio NZ and NZ On Air; is it a good idea or a great idea to cap rates; is having children too expensive now – or is it our lifestyle choices that have created the problem; and we’ll ask the panelists whether they’re happy to be called a “pakeha”.
