Brigitte and Lamia join Kathryn to look at Labour's continuing slide and the polls and a weekend win for National in Hamilton West. Which portfolios are continuing to give the Government a headache and could a cabinet reshuffle planned for early next year make a difference? Three Waters has passed, but questions remain over the entrenchment clause and has co-governance been put on ice? Brigitte Morten is a director with public and commercial law firm Franks & Ogilvie and a former senior ministerial advisor for the previous National-led government. Lamia Imam worked for two years for the Labour Party in the Leader of the Opposition's office under Phil Goff and David Shearer.

In politics with Gareth Hughes and Liam Hehir, we look at the government's RMA reforms and whether National leader Christopher Luxon was really prepared for it. Was he also caught short on the details of his own party's position on climate change?

Neale and Brigitte join Kathryn to talk about the Prime Minister's criticism of big bank profits as interest rates march upwards, reappointment of Reserve Bank governor Adrian Orr and the Commerce Commission decision to monitor oil company margins. And the select committee hearing the Three Waters legislation reports back on Friday - will the government stay full steam ahead?

Lamia and Brigitte join Kathryn to talk about Labour's annual conference this weekend, and the extension to the childcare subsidy. The changes kick in from next April - will it ease the squeeze on households...and the polls? The inflation bogeyman remains, while Labour is gunning for National's taxcut package. Meanwhile National's candidate selection is facing scrutiny.

Kathryn, Lamia and Trish discuss the marathon debate that has marked the passage of the Fair Pay Agreement law. It's a fundamental shift in employment relations, but could it be first on the chopping block if National gets into power and what else would National scrap? Also they take a look at some interesting candidate selections within National and touch on the size of the economic challenge ahead for the government.

Gareth, Brigitte and Kathryn talk about how the Hamilton byelection is an unwelcome litmus test for Labour, the Government's decision to dump its Covid powers and a possible Royal Commission into the Covid response. The economic hangover continues, could National's social investment proposal work and the PM has met with Auckland's new mayor.
