The relationship between our politicians and the lobbyists and donors looking to sway their minds has been thrust into the spotlight recently.

Labour MP Stuart Nash was sacked as a Minister over revelations he had sent confidential Cabinet information to donors, while an investigation by RNZ’s Guyon Espiner has revealed how deep the politician – lobbyist relationship goes.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has responded with some early changes, but what more needs to be done – and are our politicians motivated enough to change the rules?

Today, Guyon Espiner joins Georgina Campbell (On the Tiles - Local Edition) on The Front Page to share what he learned from his investigation.
