This week on The Whip, panellists Mihingarangi Forbes, Dan Brunskill and Chris Finlayson discuss all the major political stories of the week. They start by examining the tit-for-tats from politicians and unions in the lead-up to this week's mega strike. Then, is the Labour Party's Future Fund a punchy start to its election campaign, or a bucket of nothing? Then they take a look at the newly passed and hotly debated amendments to the Marine and Coastal Act.
