The public finally gets to peek behind the curtain at the details of the Government's approach to climate - and it's an unimpressive, if not unsurprising, view.
This week, the Raw Politics panel breaks down the 123-page emissions reduction plan and of course its 65-page technical annex. Recognising this isn't a relatable task, they also try to put themselves in the shoes of regular people.
Newsroom senior political reporter Marc Daalder, Newsroom Pro managing editor Jonathan Milne and political journalist Emma Hatton look at forestry, electric vehicles and net zero by 2050.
We also break out the crystal ball to attempt to divine what Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr will do in response to better-than-expected inflation numbers. Economists are virtually unanimous in calling for him to cut rates this year - but will he hold his nerve?
Finance Minister Nicola Willis was quick to claim credit for the drop in inflation too, but most of the Government's actions hadn't even begun by the end of the period in question. We ask whether it's fair to say the Government is fulfilling its promise to rein in the cost of living and whether the answer to that question even matters to Willis.
Our audience question this week asks for an update on the wayward former Green Party MP Darleen Tana, who sat down for an interview with TVNZ on Monday.

This week's recommendations:
Emma: The exclusive TVNZ interview with Darleen Tana, where she claims she's been silenced and isolated but doesn't give straight answers to big questions
Marc: A scoop from his hated rival, RNZ climate correspondent Eloise Gibson, on the Government's plans to rollback insulation regulations
Jonathan: Looking overseas, an analysis in The Economist on big business fears about Donald Trump's new vice presidential pick
