Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Heather Roy, Ben Thomas and Ruwani Perera. They discuss last night's TVNZ leader's debate, the very latest polls that seem to show a slump for the main parties, Te Pāti Māori and their "one person" strategy, cuts to foreign aid to boost Pharmac and why doesn't Auckland's CRL have a plaque yet?
