In this week's edition of Inside Parliament, the 1 NEWS political team takes a look at Labour's annual party conference and the latest 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton poll which bodes well for National but not so good for Labour.

In this last edition of Inside Parliament for the year, we also look at proposals to ban foreign donations to political parties and we dive into a Christmas hat full of political questions to sum up 2019.

Reporters Benedict Collins and Katie Bradford discuss the behind-the-scenes of the political stories they have covered this week.
