The Queen Margaret College Choir is about to jet off on the trip of a lifetime.
Students from the 'Voces Luces' high school choir, Millie Williams and Molly Sherriff along with Choir Director Mark Stamper join Nick Mills in the studio to discuss the fundraiser for their upcoming Europe trip.

For Politics Thursday this week, Nick Mills is joined by National Minister Tama Potaka and Labour MP Ginny Andersen.
We hear their reaction to the latest GDP figures of 0.8% and if the economy on the right path - even with the looming results of the quarter impacted by the Iran War and oil crisis.
Then onto the top stories of the week - the MBIE $30 million scandal. What needs to happen with employees involved with hiding the failing BCU project from the Minister? How is it being ensured it will not happen again?
And is a yearly loss of $8.7 billion to our economy from injuries acceptable? Our panel take a look into ACC and the viability of its current system.
Plus, Potaka and Andersens view on the Green's proposal for a budget office, and a battle of the Chiefs and Hurricanes - who has it in the bag?

Guy shares how the initiative works and the change you can make if you donate to the cause.

Riverside Medical opens in Lower Hutt this August, it's the dream of Javier and Chantelle Stroud who saw a gap in GP access that needed fixing.
Dr Javier Stroud is the lead GP of the practice and along with his wife Chantelle, who is a lawyer, are accepting patient enrolments now and gearing up to open in August.
The Strouds join Nick Mills to discuss their new venture and why the Hutt?
Chantelle says the Hutt Valley is in one of New Zealand's GP "red zones", ranking among the worst areas in the country for access to general practitioners. And more than 13,000 residents are still not enrolled with a GP.
They share the struggles of keeping GPs in New Zealand, and how technology is advancing the medical field and their own productivity.
Check out more information on the practice on their website riversidemedical.co.nz.
