This weekend on The Nation...

The battle for the North. National’s Mark Osborne, Labour’s Willow-Jean Prime and Act’s Robin Grieve face off over the issues facing the Northland region

Then an exclusive interview with The Intercept’s Ryan Gallagher over the latest Snowden documents, the global effects for New Zealand, and what more’s to come.

And with Russel Norman stepping down, what’s next for the Greens? Our reporter Torben Akel takes a look at the contenders for co-leadership and the tensions over whether to open the door more to National.

We’ll discuss all this and more with our panel: former Internet Party leader Laila Harre and PR consultant Trish Sherson.

Plus, Jeremy Corbett and Paul Ego’s Politics in 60 Seconds and Animation Nation.
