Politics Thursday with Ginny Andersen and Tim Costley: Should bereavement leave be extended?

It's Politics Thursday, Nick is joined by Labour MP Ginny Andersen and National MP for Otaki Tim Costley to debate the hot political issues of the week.  Starting with the TVNZ situation - is the public entitled to transparency around the resignation of their political editor?   And the heartbreaking story of Sheena Hemens who lost her daughter and is now fighting for bereavement leave to be extended from three days to ten. Costley and Andersen debate if the law should be changed.  Then the changes to local government, both to stop unelected members from voting on council decisions and Mayor Andrew Little's concern on the amalgamation deadline. Will Upper Hutt be dragged into something they don't want? A lobbyist influence was hiding from the OIA in the personal email of the Prime Minister's chief policy advisor. Has enough been done to prevent this happening again?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
