On this week's podcast:

Six months ago Bruce Cotterill talked about what is wrong with NZ, and how we might fix it.

At years end he returns to discuss what has changed; for better or worse.

We talk politics and the current mood of the electorate with Barry Soper. He is full and frank in commenting on the Prime Minister.

“Government Maladministration and Stupidity” is the title of an essay from a retired lawyer.

And we visit The Mailroom for the final time this year with Mrs Producer.

Have a wonderful holiday break, and thank you so much for listening.
