This week for Politics Thursday Nick is joined by Labour MP and spokesperson for Health and Wellington Issues, Ayesha Verrall and National MP for Otaki, Tim Costley.

Yesterday the Covid-19 response findings were released, what have our politicians learned from these findings?

Verrall, who was associate health minister at the time, shares her thoughts on the inquiry findings surrounding spendings, teenage vaccination health concerns and lockdowns. 

Was the 30-million-dollar inquiry worth it?

They also cover the union outcry over primary teacher individual pay deals, and the letter from Wellington regional mayors and community leaders opposing move on orders.

Plus, Shane Reti exits the beehive - are some people too good to last in parliament?

Wellington Regional mayors, iwi and community leaders have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister stating that new move on orders are not welcome in the area.

The move on orders have been proposed by the government to cope with growing numbers of homeless people in city centres - giving police powers to move people for 24 hours.

The letter from the mayors is concerned that this is not the best way to deal with the issue and will cause harm in the community.

Nick speaks with Hutt City Mayor Ken Laban about signing the letter, and the alternatives that the mayors are requesting.
