This weekend on The Nation...

A rare interview with Treasury Secretary Gabriel Makhlouf about the impact of the international economic recovery on New Zealand and the main opportunities and threats now facing the country.

Then in a New Zealand exclusive, Tony Blair’s former spin doctor Alastair Campbell discusses the upcoming British election, what PR advice he might give to contenders David Cameron and Ed Miliband, and the influence of the minor players such as UKIP and Scottish National Party.

And in the week Woolworths Australia was slammed for using Anzac images in their advertising, we take an in-depth look at the ways our remembrance of World War I is being commercially exploited.

We’ll discuss all this and more with our panel: Business New Zealand chief executive Phil O’Reilly, Massey University vice-chancellor Steve Maharey, and former Internet Party leader Laila Harre.
