The election is 78 days away so it’s over time to start tuning in to what’s going on in the world of politics.
Our Raw Politics podcast is here to help. From today, Raw Politics returns every Friday to dissect the major issues in politics and the political strategies playing out around them.
Today, join senior political reporter Marc Daalder and associate editor Sam Sachdeva at Parliament and Newsroom co-editor Tim Murphy in Auckland, who look ahead into this perpetual election campaign and pick the people and moments to watch.
Finally, we offer recommendations for you to read, watch or listen to over your weekend:
Sam: Our press gallery colleague Hanna’s interview with long-time Opportunity Party candidate Jessica Hammond
Marc: The NZ Geographic feature West Side Story, about the youth in Huntly who have ditched dirt bikes for horses.
Tim: Lilian Hanly’s piece on RNZ asking a very pertinent question: Can one Minister handle 11 portfolios?
