Beehive Buzz: Jason Walls on possible mandatory sentences and Parliament's winter break

It's the second week of the winter recess at Parliament - known around the building as one of the quietest weeks in politics of the year.  But despite many politicians taking the week off or working back in their electorates, there's still work being done in the halls of power - including public submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill today.

What could this look like? Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls joined Nick Mills for the Beehive Buzz.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
