This weekend on The Nation...

After five years of submissions and debate, the Unitary Plan is heading to Council for a final vote. Can it calm the city's housing crisis... or will it create city full of low-quality high-rises? And will it get more people on the property ladder, or just make it harder? Lisa Owen asks a panel of key players: an architect, the Property Institute, a heritage supporter and a youth advisor for the Council.

Four weeks after the Australian general election and there's still no final result... could electronic voting be the answer? Lisa asks the ABC's election analyst Antony Green.

Political Editor Patrick Gower has been at the Democratic Convention where Hillary Clinton was formally nominated to run for President. He speaks to a former Bill Clinton advisor Douglas E.Smith and Bernie Sanders supporter Michael Gibino.

We'll discuss all this and more with our panel: Fran O'Sullivan from NZME, Hive News' Bernard Hickey, and Metro Magazine's Editor-at-Large Simon Wilson.

The Nation on TV3, 9.30am Saturday, 10am Sunday, 11pm Monday, and 7pm Saturday on RadioLIVE. Proudly brought to you by New Zealand on Air’s Platinum Fund.
