Today on Politics Wednesday, Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen joined Mike Hosking to delve into some of the biggest political stories from the week thus far. 

Yesterday was an emotional day for everyone as the Government offered an official apology to the survivors of abuse in state care. 

Ginny Andersen was watching the livestream alongside survivors at Shed 6, which she says was a humbling experience. 

She told Mike Hosking that she got the opportunity to hear some of the survivors’ experiences during the breaks, and it was a really heavy day. 

Mark Mitchell says it was an important historical day for New Zealand as a country. 

He told Hosking that although some people say words don’t matter, if the apology is heartfelt it does matter, and the recognition matters as well.
