Politics Thursday: Chris Bishop and Ayesha Verrall debate the C-word and the Green's alternative budget - Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills

Also, the Greens have released their alternative budget, promising $88 billion in new taxes. Is this lunacy or realistic? 

To answer those questions, Transport minister and Hutt South MP Chris Bishop and Labour's health and Wellington issues spokeswoman Ayesha Verrall joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.
