Inside Parliament

This week Katie Bradford and 1 News reporter Ryan Boswell look at the fractious new Parliament. We go back to 1954 when Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth opened Parliament for the first time and discuss the mine field of mining on conservation land.

This week we look at the back and forth of coalition negotiations and the cone of silence around them. We timewarp into the past to see who Winston went with in 1996 and 2005 and discuss Niue’s new marine sanctuary and what it means for New Zealand.

In our final chat before Election day, Corin and Andrea discuss Farmers, polls, debates and the use of alternative facts in the campaign. They also wrap up their thoughts on the performances of Bill English & Jacinda Ardern, and eat some scones.

With polls all over the place this week the election is closer than ever.

Another week, and another huge poll. Is this a trend? We also discuss child poverty after Bill English’s sudden target for reduction, the hole that’s sucked in much of this week’s political oxygen and we look at a day in the life of our reporters on the campaign.
