Raw Politics The return of... Raw Politics (SEASON 2)
May 10, 2024
32:44
Exhausted by the general election campaign, horrified by the twilight zone of coalition negotiations, distracted by the silly season and waiting for the honeymoon to begin, Raw Politics has been in hibernation since October.
From today, we’re back. Our weekly political video show and podcast returns for a second season, and in a week with ups and downs for almost all the parties in Parliament.
With our anchor, our rock, Jo Moir having graduated to a higher class of audio banter at RNZ, Raw Politics is led by Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, with co-editor Tim Murphy and senior political writer Marc Daalder.
This week:
We do a fast rewind on the missing six months of this three-way coalition’s gestation and early days.
We look at Act leader David Seymour’s deft politics on school lunches and daft politics in using ‘woke’ to describe sushi.
Then the panel analyses the separate meltdowns of the Greens Julie Anne Genter and Corrections Minister Mark Mitchell.
Our reader question on how much MPs get paid also focuses attention back on the double-dipper from NZ First, MP Jamie Arbuckle, who wanted to keep both his parliamentary salary and that from his councillor duties in Marlborough.
And we end with recommendations for you to read, watch or listen to over your weekend.
Raw Politics will be available wherever you get your podcasts every Friday morning, and you can watch it on YouTube here.
