It's another hit of the most insightful and sharp 30 minutes in political analysis. Panellists Fran O'Sullivan, Andrea Vance and Marian Hobbs join Wallace to discuss: the NZ Herald Mood of the Boardroom survey, business wants the government to pick up their game; a new Reserve Bank Governor has been appointed, is this the breath of fresh air the central bank needed?; Trump gave a rambling and at times alarming speech at the UN, what does this tell us about where the US and the world is heading? and rate rises: local elections have turned up the heat on the issue, and 350 candidates and signed a pledge to oppose rises that exceed inflation, but is that a realistic promise?
