Election 2023 ·

2023/10/09

This time next week, this time next Monday, we'll have all had our say and the Government who will lead the country for the next three years will have been elected, or will it? National and Labour have raised the possibility of another election if they fail to get the votes they need to form a government, if their partner parties fail to get sufficient votes to form a government. Yet more proof, as if anyone needed, that MMP is not the best form of proportional representation. Still, it's the

2023/10/08

One of the many things that are hopefully on the new government’s radar come October 15 is the state of our cities. I mean yes our communities and our suburbs are in dire straits too getting ravaged by crime and unruly gangs in many places, but our CBDs are a mess - they’re unsavoury places. They don’t feel safe anymore. I get people messaging me every day about the CBD, particularly Auckland, and what a mess it is, or how embarrassed they are of it. Which is a shame because parts of it are

Mike Hosking: Second election call - Panic? Or a plan?

Election 2023 ·

2023/10/08

So do we have panic, or a cunning plan? In a sign the campaign has gone way too long, the Labour Party are spending their precious energy banging on about National's tax policy. They are suggesting they are now falling apart and are doing this, mainly because they don't want to talk about their record. The prize for hyperbole over the weekend goes to Chris Hipkins, who saw a "resurgence" this week and a "big poll surprise". If you check the numbers Labour are at least 10 points behind National

Labour is angling for another go in Government. The polls haven’t been kind to them as New Zealanders increasingly agree that it’s time for another party to give it a shot. Chris Hipkins joined Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking for a rigorous interview to see if Labour is worth another term. Hosking grilled the Labour leader on their key policies, getting right down to the gritty details and seeing if they stack up. Will Labour be able to fix the problems of their previous terms?

2023/10/08

National's Deputy Leader Nicola Willis is defending the party warning of a second election. The party has ramped up efforts to keep New Zealand First out of the mix - warning there's a growing possibility National wouldn't be able to get a deal done. Willis told Kate Hawkesby there's always a risk they won't get enough support. She says a lot of people already believe there's going to be a change - but they have to vote.

Claims National is trying to scare people away from voting for New Zealand First. The party has released messaging warning that there's a real possibility of a second election if they can't get a coalition deal across the line with Winston Peters party. ZB Political Editor Jason Walls says they're bluffing and that it would be incredibly unlikely. He believes a move like that could frustrate the electorate.

Does their reluctance to fully embrace NZ First undermine any coalition Government that is formed? What will this mean for the election?

2023/10/08

As you will know by now, I love a general election; but there was a moment this week when I realized I was done. Over it. Counting the days until it was done and dusted. The moment was when I saw a tweet from the current Minister of Health, which had Christopher Luxon dressed up as a chicken and a comment he should turn up to the Press’s leaders debate. The last time I heard a person accuse someone else of being a chicken was also a heated dispute – among eight year olds. Maybe the tweet was

NZ Rugby: 3/10 When it comes to the Ranfurly Shield, it's these sorts of examples that damage the reputation of the game, the administration, and running of the game and remind us that for all the greatness of the All Blacks and the Rugby World Cup there is a lot of very provincial, old-world dopey thinking running the machinery.

A tax expert says that National's proposed tax changes demonstrate the challenges of conveying complicated policies to the electorate. The party is defending its policy after it was revealed just 3000 households will reap $250 in tax relief a fortnight. They say the promised rebate to the average family always came with the caveat that it was "up to" $250. Geof Nightingale told Mike Hosking what he thinks the situation conveys. He says it shows policies interact in complex ways which is

As we reflect on the —let’s be frank— end of this government’s tenure, I can’t help thinking about all the stuff they dropped the ball on, that I wonder if they regret. Mental health, the $1.9 billion none of us know where it is. Light rail. Child poverty. Kiwibuild, a tangible disaster. Not taking the country with them when they had a majority, an unheard of opportunity to take us with them, and they blew it. The MIQ shenanigans, the shutting of the borders for so long, the crime levels, the

Sir John Key got involved in a last ditch effort to turn out voters for National, following growing fears of a three-way coalition with ACT and NZ First. Is this a sign of desperate times for National? Grant Robertson has labelled National's tax policy a 'scam', and claimed less than one percent of all households will get the $250 relief per

Auckland's mayor has fired back at National for its claims the council has $300 million of unspent fuel tax money just sitting in its accounts. The party is campaigning on scrapping the region's fuel tax within its first 100 days in Government, if elected. Finance spokeswoman Nicola Willis says the revenue it has already made will continue to be available for transport projects. But mayor Wayne Brown says that money is already committed.

Former Prime Minister Sir John Key says he offered to endorse National in a video, urging Kiwis to vote blue and avoid uncertainty. It was released on the Party's social media channels today. He says it aimed to address complacency in the electorate. "There's quite a bit of complacency in the electorate. A lot of people are saying National's going to win- look at the TAB odds, for instance- the problem with all that is, that would be great if there was predictability." LISTEN ABOVESee
