This week on the Raw Politics podcast: Is the Minister of the Week, Paul Goldsmith, an ideologue? Plus, awkward business closures for the coalition and Chris Hipkins' leadership.Newsroom senior political reporter Marc Daalder, Newsroom Pro managing editor Jonathan Milne and co-editor Tim Murphy discuss the minister's harder line push this week on laws cracking down on gangs, changing his mind to allow police to search private homes for evidence of patches.We ask if he is a natural anti-crime hardman or if he's being egged on by the fringe parties in the coalition and is enjoying their approval.The Waitangi Tribunal report on the Government's planned amendments to the Marine and Coastal Areas (Takutai Moana) Act would have shamed any other minister at any other time, but its criticisms of Goldsmith for his motivation, facts, process, consultation and evidence have been ignored by the Government.The panel discusses the latest industrial closure, of the Oji mill at Penrose, and how these kinds of events can unfairly, or fairly, lie at the feet of an incumbent government.  Could the coalition have done more to save jobs here and in earlier regional closures, and would a Labour government have done anything differently?Our reader question asks if Chris Hipkins is taking a risk heading to the UK for that country's Labour Party conference when a poll shows his personal rating plummeting for preferred Prime Minister.  The panel is unmoved, despite Government MPs delighting in teasing Labour's caucus this week about a coup.Finally, the panelists recommend something to read, listen to or watch on the weekend ahead.--------------------This week's recommendations:Marc: Our own Jonathan Milne's piece at Newsroom delving into a major fisheries Treaty case brewing in the backgroundTim: Audrey Young's timely explainer on all the Government's law changes targeted at things MāoriJonathan: The Economist reports on a British Medical Journal study on why Australians live so long.--------------------Raw Politics will be available every Friday, and you can watch it on YouTube too.Read more on newsroom.co.nz.

This week, Raw Politics discusses Christopher Luxon the wannabe details man, Chris Hipkins the nowhere man and David Seymour the man with 91 highly paid new staff.Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, senior political reporter Marc Daalder and co-editor Tim Murphy first assess the Prime Minister's repeated instances of misusing, misquoting or misunderstanding numbers, facts and comparisons.The panel then looks at the Labour Party 10 months on from its electoral hiding. The red side is being careful not to bark at every passing car, but its caution is leaving a void that a coalition that has been fast, and at times loose, is continuing to exploit.Our reader question asks how many staff will work in David Seymour's new Ministry of Regulation. And the answer is not the 30 or so indicated by the ACT leader.--------------------This week's recommendations:Laura: The piece on Christopher Luxon's bold speech to local government from Newsroom Pro editor Jono Milne: PM goes to war on council waste – and on councilsTim: The Australian's daily podcast The Front for its coverage of the gobsmacking defamation case in Perth where the former defence minister is suing her former staffer Brittany Higgins, who was raped in that minister's office.Marc: A scoop from Stuff's Tova O'Brien on Shane Jones' attacks on “communist judge" during a meeting with the seafood lobby over Māori rights.Raw Politics will be available every Friday, and you can watch it on YouTube too.--------------------Read more on newsroom.co.nz.https://newsroom.co.nz

This week on the Raw Politics podcast: Tax, fiscal holes, and disinformation. Plus: With just 43 days until the election, how is the campaign shaping up?Raw Politics ponders how National's $14.6 billion tax plan landed both politically and in real terms for those who will benefit from the proposed tax relief. Then we cast forward to the campaign launches this weekend in Auckland where Labour and National will lay out their visions for the country if in government after October 14.Newsroom Pro editor Jonathan Milne was one of two journalists to get his hands on the Castalia report that National commissioned to get its t's crossed, i's dotted, and maths analysed ahead of its announcement on Wednesday.Milne notes National was transparent in saying where its numbers differed from Castalia's and says it's worth remembering the analysis was commissioned by the leader's office and on Christopher Luxon's terms.Political editor Jo Moir and senior political reporter Marc Daalder then explain the manic vibe in Parliament in the final week with press conferences and counter press conferences, potshots followed by allegations of disinformation, and some MPs no doubt contemplating whether they'll ever be back in the building.Then there's the rush of legislation being rammed through the House in the final days before everyone packs up their lockers, throws on their backpacks, and heads out into the campaign field.Some of us are exhausted and the campaign hasn't even begun, while others seem exhilarated. Moir and Newsroom co-editor Tim Murphy will be at the major parties' campaign launches on Saturday and Sunday to provide our readers with the latest political news and analysis.This week's recommendations include Act Party's number 16 on the list being so confident he'll be in Parliament he told Newsroom's Emma Hatton he's put his business up for sale (with a caveat), an international look at tax cuts, and a colourful Herald piece from press gallery legend, Audrey Young.Every Friday, Newsroom editors and political journalists talk through the big issues and scrutinise politicians' performances in a lively 25-minute show aiming to take viewers and listeners inside the actions and motivations of our elected leaders.

This week on the Raw Politics podcast: National struggles to deal with race relations and Labour and National fall out over housing density - plus the risk of a caucus breakdown for ACT.The Raw Politics team takes a look at how National's leader and MPs are dealing with questions at public meetings that have a race relations element to them and whether it's a problem for other parties too.We also discuss the housing density rules that Labour and National signed an accord on in a rare moment of bipartisanship and what has brought that to an end. Is there any hope of bipartisanship on anything in the future, ever? And, we discuss the latest government announcement following a string of severe weather events earlier this year, and what a voluntary buyout will look like for people who have lost their homes and told they can't be rebuilt.A listener wants to know the panel's view on whether there's a danger with so many new high-profile ACT candidates that some incumbent MPs are going to miss out on winnable list spots, and what will that mean for caucus unity?And the panel recommends a fact-check on whether the World Health Organisation is about to deprive New Zealand of its sovereignty, an interview with National's housing spokesperson on that 2021 deal that was struck with Labour, and lots of not-so-subtle hints to go buy a copy of Sam Sachdeva's new book, The China Tightrope.Every Friday, Jo Moir, Sam Sachdeva and Tim Murphy talk through the big issues and scrutinise politicians' performances in a lively 25-minute show aiming to take viewers and listeners inside the actions and motivations of our elected leaders.This week Murphy is on a well-deserved break so Newsroom Pro editor Jonathan Milne joins Moir and Sachdeva as a special guest.Moir is Newsroom's political editor, having been in the gallery for eight years also with Stuff and RNZ, Sachdeva is our national affairs editor, former political editor and was a Stuff political writer and Murphy is Newsroom's co-editor, a former member of the Parliamentary press gallery and former editor-in-chief of the NZ Herald.Watch Raw Politics on YouTube, or download or listen to it as a podcast on Spotify, or via Apple Podcasts.

The future of Auckland is in your hands Our harbours and streams are being polluted by overflows from ageing sewerage and stormwater systems that can’t cope with heavy rainfall, while Kauri dieback disease is threatening one of our most iconic tree species. Join the conversation on the future of the city as Auckland Council continues to consult on its 10-year Budget and 30-year Auckland Plan. The 10-year Budget proposes targeted rates to improve water quality and the environment, including tackling Kauri dieback disease, while the Auckland Plan proposes the long-term protection and enhancement of Auckland's environment by doing things differently as Auckland grows and develops. Whose responsibility is it to protect our environment? Should declining water quality be accepted as a trade-off from growth and economic prosperity, and what priority should we put on environmental protection? Bernard Hickey, Managing Editor of Newsroom Pro and Director of Newsroom NZ Ltd, will be joined by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff and a panel of industry experts to discuss and debate Auckland’s environmental challenges and the potential solutions available.

The future of Auckland is in your hands Join Auckland Conversations for two events on 28 February and 22 March when Auckland Council consults on the future of the city in its 10-year Budget and the 30-year Auckland Plan. We need to consider the long term challenges facing Auckland and the outcomes that we want to achieve. The council is proposing a regional fuel tax to fund investment in Auckland’s transport network and decongest our city, while also considering small targeted rates to protect our environment, improving water quality in our streams, rivers and harbours, and protecting our native trees, birds and animals from disease and pests. Are these the right priorities? Will they create a world class city? The first of these events will focus on Transport - is a fuel tax the answer to Auckland’s transport challenge? Or is there another way? And does Auckland have its long-term transport plans right? Bernard Hickey, Managing Editor of Newsroom Pro and a Director of Newsroom NZ Ltd, will facilitate this event and will be joined by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff and a panel of industry experts to discuss and debate Auckland’s transport challenges and the potential solutions available.
