Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Andrea Vance, Maria Slade, and Chris Finlayson. They discuss the latest rise in unemployment figures and how the Government will handle it, and an eventful start to Waitangi celebrations.

Then, they pick up on pollster David Farrar's arguement that New Zealand should join Australia, and finally, they look at Wellington's latest water infrastructure failure: sewage pouring out into the sea from Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant.
