Nick Mills was joined for this week's political hour by Finance Minister Nicola Willis, and for the first time by Labour's Wellington issues spokesperson Ayesha Verrall.

They discussed the Wellington water crisis and how much support councils should expect from central Government, and how the public service cuts are starting to impact Wellington.

Also on the agenda, the confusion around the Government's numbers for new Police recruits, and the funding for RAT tests extended until June.
