Description
This week is scrutiny week in Parliament. This is a chance for the opposition to question relevant Ministers about the budget in select committees, and for the public to see the inner workings of government questioned in an accessible way.  Some of the headlines to have come out of this week include discussions of New Zealand failing to uphold climate commitments, supporting media, and what makes this country liveable in light of the high numbers of New Zealanders moving overseas. For our weekly catch-up with Green Party MP Ricardo Menéndez March Wire host Caeden asks about all these topics.  They started by asking about what scrutiny week means.
