Costley and Andersen also hit the big political news of the week including Nicola Willis's statement that National may repeal the Regulatory Standards Bill. As well as leadership coup rumours, how far the coalition agreements can span, regional councils and what is going on in the Wellington North electorate race.

Music time with James Irwin: Local musician releasing new single with the help of a global superstar

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7784f840-c291-422a-924b-ad9000bbad71/clips/a004a3cd-0075-4684-bcf4-b3ad01848480/transcript

For the Business Panel this week, Nick chats to two business owners who have moved from the CBD out to Khandallah to see how is business better out in the suburbs?

Nick is joined by Julie Gubbs from Gubbs Shoes and Sheila Murray-Hamilton from Hamilton & Murray Boutique.

They discuss their businesses, what they do, and how it’s going at the moment out in Khandallah.

What was the tipping point that made them move out? Would they move back to the CBD? Have things changed in the city since they’ve had their businesses? 

They also gave their advice on starting businesses in Wellington, how to keep up with the trends and the difference between local small businesses and chain operations.

Sheila and Julie also give their take on the government and council from a small business perspective.
