Also, 40,000 people marched on Parliament this week to protest Act's Treaty Principles Bill. Did the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon know what he was getting into when he agreed to support the bill's first reading?

To answer those questions, Labour MP and housing spokesperson Kieran McAnulty and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.

Wellington Airport is in store for a $500m upgrade to allow for larger aircraft - but will we see new airlines arriving in the capital? 

Also, behaviour in Parliament has been a hot topic this week with Te Pati Maori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi Clarke named for leading a haka, and Education Minister Erica Stanford referring to Labour MP Jan Tinetti a "stupid bitch". Are standards of behaviour in the house dropping? 

To answer those questions, Nick was joined by former Wellington mayor Dame Kerry Prendergast and former Minister and Ohariu MP Peter Dunne on Friday Faceoff.

The All Blacks take on Italy in the final game of the northern tour on Sunday morning - and it will be Wellington All Black TJ Perenara's last game in black. 

What's his legacy in the team, and how big a winning margin will we see? 

Also, its a rematch of last season's semi-final with the Wellington Phoenix taking on Melbourne Victory. What are we expecting? 

To answer those questions, All Sport Breakfast host Adam Cooper and Weekend Sport host Jason Pine joined Nick Mills for the Friday Sport Kickoff.

More long-haul widebody planes will be able to operate at Wellington Airport following upgraded safety zones on its runway.

It could mean Wellington could see direct flights to the United States and Asia for the first time ever.

The energy-absorbing blocks at each end of the runway are part of a $500 million upgrade plan announced by the airport today, which includes terminal upgrades and community areas on airport-owned land near Lyall Bay. 

Wellington Airport chief executive Matt Clarke joined Nick Mills to discuss the plans.
