This week, our politicians are heading back to work... not that there has actually been much of a break.
International crises like the Gaza conflict have needed the Government’s attention over the summer, and while we’ve been soaking up the sun, ministers have been back at their desks for a while now, sifting through reports and cancelled projects as the coalition looks to advance its 100 day plan.
So, as everyone heads back to the Beehive, what are the top issues on the Government’s agenda, how likely is it that they will be achieved, and what about those parties that now find themselves in Opposition?
Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by New Zealand Herald deputy political editor and On the Tiles co-host Thomas Coughlan to preview the year ahead in politics.
