Tangi Utikere, MP for Palmerston North joins us for the last catchup of 2021 and we discuss central government's involvement in reclassifying a Palmerston North reserve, $8 million for the hospitals pandemic preparedness and the Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationships amendments including the ability for New Zealanders to correct their records. We also reflect on 2021, and look to 2022 with further pandemic expectations and Tangi's pecuniary interests bill regarding local government.
