The return of... Raw Politics (SEASON 2)
Exhausted by the general election campaign, horrified by the twilight zone of coalition negotiations, distracted by the silly season and waiting for the honeymoon to begin, Raw Politics has been in hibernation since October.
From today, we’re back. Our weekly political video show and podcast returns for a second season, and in a week with ups and downs for almost all the parties in Parliament.
With our anchor, our rock, Jo Moir having graduated to a higher class of audio banter at RNZ, Raw Politics is led by Newsroom political editor Laura Walters, with co-editor Tim Murphy and senior political writer Marc Daalder.
--------------------------
This week:
We do a fast rewind on the missing six months of this three-way coalition’s gestation and early days.
We look at Act leader David Seymour’s deft politics on school lunches and daft politics in using ‘woke’ to describe sushi.
Then the panel analyses the separate meltdowns of the Greens Julie Anne Genter and Corrections Minister Mark Mitchell.
Our reader question on how much MPs get paid also focuses attention back on the double-dipper from NZ First, MP Jamie Arbuckle, who wanted to keep both his parliamentary salary and that from his councillor duties in Marlborough.
And we end with recommendations for you to read, watch or listen to over your weekend.
--------------------------
Raw Politics will be available wherever you get your podcasts every Friday morning, and you can watch it on KZread here.

Wow how is this financially viable?
You have to watch out for that populist Dominoes Pizza!😀
This is like watching a sports commentary. No deep analysis of policy decisions and/or implications. Sending information requests about what is for lunch?! I expected more from the newsroom
Woke sushi. Any food that isn't aryan food will be on his woke list.
Wow after this I’ll be cancelling my newsroom subscription. No critical analysis or common sense. You all should get out of Wellington more often.

Please disclose what the cabinet process was concerning Raw politics, what couldn't get past Winston Peters and what happened to whatever it was? Does "independent" media need permission from the government these days? Maybe the lack of love for Luxon reflects that people didn't know what his policies were but were fooled by false manipulative advertising into voting out the previous government, and are now realising what they voted for. Coalition chaos isn't chaos? The definition of woke is aware, considerate and accommodating, what has that got to do with sushi or doughnuts in schools? The level of information in this is 0. It's a government propaganda machine ever so gently suffocating any rational consideration of what the government is doing. Boring uninformed inanity to put people off even looking at what the government is doing It's about as raw as frankfurters. Financial disclosure please.
18:43 Act has sushi at their party meetings, so is sushi woke or was it an easy target for the kid wearing the dunces cap

There is more information and analysis in your comment than in the video. Or at least the 1st half which was as much as I could stomach - at 2x speed.
