## Resource

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Maria Slade, Stephen Parker, and Lillian Hanly. They discuss the growing election issue of energy security, and how parties are trying to manage it, and then: the state of our political language. Are offensive remarks on the rise? After that, National party MPs have taken a low poll result on the chin, and finally, what's with all the party hopping in the lead-up to the election?
