Nick Mills wraps the week with former MP and Attorney General Chris Finlayson and director of NZ Infrastructure Commission and ex councillor Tim Brown.

Moa point continues to be an issue. Is it a long time coming? Brown and Finlayson face off on funding, spending and leadership of the plant and Wellington Water.

Then they get into the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. What does this unprecedented scene mean for the future of the royals?

And things get fiery over Minister Bishop’s suggestion the government are reconsidering the state highway 1 improvements.

We also get their hot or nots of the week plus former minister Finlayson’s thoughts on Seymour’s plan to decrease portfolios and merge ministries.
