Julie Anne Genter is set to return to Parliament this week, as the house meets after a recess week. 

Her return comes after yesterday's State of the Planet speech from Green co-leaders Chloe Swarbrick and Julie Anne Genter.

Also on the horizon is the government's first budget at the end of the month. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls joined Nick Mills to talk through what we can expect this week in politics.
