  • Highly Informative & a perspective rarely seen.

    This is a highly informative podcast, illuminating how parliament works, what our elective representatives actually do and that the posturing and nastiness highlighted in question time and in media soundbites is only a tiny portion of what goes on. Our politicians actually work cooperatively most of the time.

  • Informative every time

    I always, always learn things from this pod. It does a great job of tackling one particular topic and taking a deep, but brief, dive. It’s relevant no matter how much (or how little) you already know about NZ parliament.
