The National Party had a whirlwind 2020. A internal party coup led to the ousting of Simon Bridges, followed by the voluntary ceding of leadership by Todd Muller to Judith Collins. It’d be impossible to dare I say, unpack the entire year of National, so we decided to have a look at the tumultuous time period of Todd Muller’s leadership. On this episode, we take a look at the numerous articles concerning the 53 days that Todd was in charge, and the aftermath that lead to Judith Collins' reign.

The occupational protest was on the mind of many New Zealanders, and in a country where athletes ~normally~ don’t discuss social issues, it truly was a rare sight. On this episode, we discuss all the pervasive narratives around Ihumātao, and how New Zealanders truly felt.
