Also, the Labour Party is holding its annual conference this weekend. How have they performed in opposition, and how do they become more relevant? 

To talk through those issues, as well as reflect on the tragic death of former National MP Nikki Kaye, broadcaster Grant Walker and Curia pollster David Farrar joined Nick for Friday Faceoff.

Begonia House looks set to be demolished and the Golden Mile redevelopment is set to continue as planned. How did councillors come to their decision? 

Also, Wellington mayor Tory Whanau has seemingly softened her language when asked by Nick whether she plans to run for a second term as Mayor - will she run again?
