For Friday Faceoff this week Nick Mills is joined in the studio by Porirua Mayor Anita Baker and Editor of The Local Jane O'Loughlin. 

Starting with the question of the week: Has there been enough accountability for the Wellington City Council's mistakes?

This comes after the latest review showcasing the blunder of the costly library website.

Mayor Baker criticised WCC giving the $600k job to an Auckland company, "keep local jobs local".

Then onto the controversial passing of the Harbour Quays bus lanes. Neither O'Loughlin or Baker were fans. Is it necessary?

Both panellists then called National's announcement to pursue splitting food stuffs "desperation". 

Then onto the decision to scrap routine cognitive tests for older drivers, was it the right one? 

Plus, our panellists share their thoughts on the Tom Phillips case findings and could they ever split with Wellington later in life? 

And as always, hear our panellists' hots and nots from the week.
