Jacinda Ardern:

We congratulate the PM for getting us to Level 1 but ask if she's going to keep the wage subsidy in place until September to "buy" the election? Plus we talk about political correctness, whether she needs a breather and are her Cabinet bench players up to the task if the captain takes a time out.

Chris Brandolino:

Blake Holgate:
