Gareth and Tim join Kathryn to talk about the protests that greeted Posie Parker in Auckland over the weekend and forced her to leave the country ahead of her Wellington event. They'll also look at National's education plan and the government's alternative 'common practice' model, child poverty statistics and the return of Winston Peters.

Gareth Hughes is a former Green MP and now works for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa. 

Tim Hurdle is a former National party advisor and was campaign director for National at the 2020 election.
