## Resource

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Ruwani Perera, Stephen Parker, and Wayne Mapp. On the dawn of Budget day, they ponder what is left to announce. Then they discuss whether Wellington-based MPs should be claiming accommodation allowances for houses they own, before revisiting the strangest story of the week: Labour's leaked media training session.
