For Friday Faceoff this week Nick is joined in the studio by lawyer and former MP Stephen Franks and managing director of Gazley Motors Myles Gazley.

Starting with the government's warnings of carless days due to fuel shortages from the Iran conflict.

Gazley and Franks give their insight into the issue, the response from the government and the public. Should the government implement the idea, or are there better alternatives?

Then how's our council doing? As the spending budget for Mayor Little's triennium plan goes through - with amendments to climate funds. Our panel faceoff on the solution - is it amalgamation?

We hear what the panel think of the Wellington mayors' letter to the Prime Minister opposing move on orders. 

And Te Matapihi Wellington Central Library opens tomorrow. What do Gazley and Franks think of the 178k opening celebration budget? And is this the library of the future, or an overspend?

Plus they give their hots or nots for the week.
