Christchurch’s Mayor is back with John MacDonald to discuss the biggest stories from the week that was. 

The Government is giving the Housing Minister the power to overrule local councils, and Phil Mauger has some strong opinions on the topic. 

Housing intensification is still on the docket, but he’s made it clear they’ll be pushing back against it all the way. 

And why are there so many leafblowers out and about? Is that a good use of taxpayer money?
