This podcast looks at New Zealand’s political week, and talks with key figures about the events of the day. Packed with analysis, it gives you some insights into politics today.
It’s been an extraordinary week in politics, with Chris Luxon once again having to face down his detractors in caucus, and once again winning a confidence vote. Amazingly, in a week in which his MPs tried to depose him as leader, Luxon is ahead of Labour leader Chris Hipkins as preferred Prime Minister in the most recent polls, and the National Party is holding its own. The big mover this week is Opportunity, which both latest polls suggest will be in Parliament after November 7. The question is whether Luxon will rue announcing he won’t work with the fledgling party. And joining us to unpack the dramatic events of the week, is political columnist Janet Wilson.
