This weekend on The Nation...

We kick-off with a controversial story that’s sure to be the weekend’s major talking point… We just can’t talk about it until the programme tomorrow.

Then, flying the flag for change or dying in the breeze? Geoff Simmons unveils the Morgan Foundation’s favourite entries from their $20,000 flag design competition and we ask the man chairing the official Flag Consideration Panel if the public is really on board with process ahead of submissions closing next week. We’ll have an online poll, so vote for your favourite.

And our reporter Torben Akel takes a look at the growing problem of fuel poverty and asks why power costs so much in New Zealand.

We’ll discuss all this and more with our panel: RadioLIVE political editor Jessica Williams, Generation Zero’s Sudhvir Singh, and PR strategist Matthew Hooton.
