Brigitte and Gareth look at how the local body elections shook down - particularly in our biggest cities. The Government's books are better than expected - will that heat up the tax cut debate? And former Minister Kris Faafoi is copping some flak for his new job.

Brigitte Morten is a director with public and commercial law firm Franks & Ogilvie and a former senior ministerial advisor for the previous National-led government. 

Gareth Hughes is a former Green MP and now works for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa. He is no longer a member of any political party.
