Take a listen to hear why I think we'll be seeing more of this from Peters and from Act leader David Seymour in the next 12 months. Take a listen.

I was part of Radio New Zealand's new half-hour Politics Panel with former Labour Government Minister Stuart Nash and RNZ's podcast editor Tim Watkin. We discussed everything from Chloe Swarbrick being asked to leave the House twice in as many days to US President Donald Trump sending the national guard to Washington DC. Take a listen.

How much do voters care about Andrew Bayly's resignation as a Minister after touching his staff member's arm during a heated discussion?

Radio New Zealand - The Panel
I joined the Panel to discuss two new political polls out yesterday which showed the left block has the numbers to form a government if an election was held today. Listen to why I think the Government is losing support and why the majority of those polled think the country is moving in the wrong direction.
