The Sunday Panel: Were we surprised by the Stuart Nash saga?

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

This week on the Sunday panel, director at 818 Chris Henry and partner at Freebairn and Hehir Liam Hehir joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Stuart Nash has stepped away from NZ First after accusing Napier MP Katie Nimon of being lazy - and copping backlash from all sides of the political aisle. Are we surprised about this? Do we think this is the right call?  National recently announced that if they got re-elected, they'd gradually extend paid parental leave to 30 weeks by 2029, with a longer-term goal of reaching 40 weeks. Do we think this is a good idea? Is National taking advantage of the Stuart Nash controversy?  There's a new trend - dopamine apps let you fill out a food delivery order or an online shopping cart without delivering anything. But do we think this is a good idea?  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
