Labour's Kieran McAnulty is spokesperson for Housing, Regional Development and Local Government and owner of the bestest pupper in Parliament. Keiran will be joining us with a pre-recorded interview in this week's episode where we discuss changes to local government and housing impacted by the coalition. Gordy Lockhart is a man with a mission - to make Tauranga a little brighter and more inclusive. The driver behind the recent campaign to get a Rainbow crossing installed in the heart of Tauranga, Gordy will be joining us to discuss the 6 year long mission, the nasty old conservative race baiting homophobes that try really hard to live up to the negative stereotype of a typical Tauranga resident and how it feels to succeed in a mission all based on inclusivity.
