We made it to the end of 2024! This week the Gals recap the political year that’s been and look back on some highlights and lowlights before looking ahead to 2025.

Merry Christmas wonderful listeners and we’ll speak to you again soon. Ka kite!

Plus, we have a bit of bonus content this week…. Our Gal Holly pops in to share a bit of news.

The Gals also reflect on the death of former National Party Minister, and Brigitte’s friend and old boss, Nikki Kaye.

Yass Queen to a media outlet for doing the hard yards and Brigitte has Georgie in tears over this week’s Beehave Mate (clue – it’s to do with discrimination against green people and talking animals).

This week Georgie and Brigitte talk about one of the largest protests in New Zealand’s history, who fronted and who didn’t and how Parliament has some difficult discussions ahead.
