The coalition government has completed a restless, sometimes controversial first act. With election year now just a few months away, politics podcast Gone By Lunchtime returns to WORD to assess the state of play with their customary mix of insight and humour. Join The Spinoff’s Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee-Mather (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Māmoe) (executive producer of Mata) and Ben Thomas (former press secretary in the Key government) for an entertaining hour of analysis and irreverence.
In partnership with The Spinoff
