For Politics Thursday this week Nick Mills is joined by National Minister Tama Potaka and Labour MP Ayesha Verrall.

The panel starts with the biggest news of the week - 8700 public service jobs will be gone by 2029.

They discuss what this means for our city? Has anywhere been hit as hard as Wellington?

Nicola Willis says her office is experimenting with artificial intelligence, Nick asks our panel if they too are using AI and how can it reduce government work. 

Potaka and Verrall also dissect security and cost concerns of government workers using AI.

14 corrections staff were arrested yesterday smuggling items - including methamphetamine - to prisoners. Our politicians share their thoughts on the state of corrections, and how to assist this issue in corruption.

And Winston Peters buying BNZ, is it a pipe dream? Is there validity when we talk about bringing more competition to NZ?
