This weekend on The Nation...

As New Zealand prepares to take up the presidency of the United Nations Security Council, we talk to Foreign Minister Murray McCully about how we can help kick-start the Middle East peace process and ask why we’ve really invested in that Saudi agrihub… and what we’ve got to show for it.

Then, new developments in the Government’s flagship state house reform programme…3News political editor Patrick Gower has the exclusive details.

And Matt Vickers, the husband of Lecretia Seales, talks to Lisa Owen about his late wife’s legacy, the Health Select Committee inquiry, and what happens next in the assisted dying debate.

We’ll discuss all this and more with our panel: New Zealand Herald columnist Fran O’Sullivan, Fairfax political editor Tracy Watkins, and political consultant Rob Salmond.
