First Up - The Podcast, Thursday 15 December

On today's First Up pod with Anna Thomas - our reporters hit the streets of Auckland for tips on how to get rid of visitors who outstay their Christmas welcome; will ditching the fuel tax raise inflation - we ask Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson and the head of a major trucking association explains why our hauliers aren't happy about it; plus, we take the road less travelled to the self-declared Republic of Whangamomona. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!
