Nick was joined by the NZ Herald's Wellington Issues reporter Georgina Campbell for this week's Capital Letter.

Georgina discussed her latest article on the news that the Wellington City Council considered a dangerous building notice well before the fatal Loafer's Lodge hostel fire, meaning the hostel would have had to be immediately evacuated.

They also discussed the probe into the Wellington City Council after a $250m data error and serious harm data breach.

Georgina also analysed the comments made by Let's Get Wellington Moving programme director Sarah Gardner on Wellington Mornings on Tuesday.
