This weekend on The Nation...

As Auckland's average house price hits one million dollars and opposition parties hold inquiries into homelessness, we take a special look at the housing crisis.

Lisa Owen talks to Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett as she commits another $24 million for social housing... Is it enough? And how does she rate her performance in the portfolio?

Then the Property Institute's Ashley Church reveals his plan to stabilise house prices in Auckland, and we ask economist Shamubeel Eaqub and Squirrel Money's John Bolton what more the Government should be doing.

And as the latest results from the United Nations' straw poll in the Secretary General race filter in, we ask the former Canadian Ambassador to the UN if Helen Clark still has a shot at the top job.

We'll discuss all this and more with our panel: blogger David Farrar, AUT Senior Lecturer Ella Henry and Newshub Business Correspondent Tony Field
