For Politics Thursday Nick is joined by Labour's Ginny Andersen and National's Tim Costley to talk about the top issues in the beehive this week.

Starting with the new test for citizenship in New Zealand. Our panel give their question ideas and their thoughts on the introduction of the test, which follows the lead of Australia.

And amalgamation is coming. The Government has given a three-month ultimatum for councils to amalgamate on their own terms.

Costley shares what this would look like for Kapiti - and the thoughts he's hearing from the community, and Andersen for the Hutt. And is three months to sort a blend of potentially four councils enough for Wellington?

And after his interview with health expert Dr Ezekiel Emanuel, Nick asks the panel for their thoughts on more bipartisanship for health. Then the panel get heated over the best ways to fund the NZ health system.

Plus, unemployment numbers are down, yet experts are predicting it's going to get worse - what are our politicians going to do about it?
