Tonight on The Huddle, Trish Sherson from Sherson Willis PR and former Labour Minister Stuart Nash joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! The Prime Minister is pushing hard for asset sales - and he aims to seek a mandate for them in the next election. Do we think this is a good idea? New Zealand's diplomatic relations with Kiribati are on the rocks - and aid money has been put on pause. Given how close the region is with China, is it wise for Winston Peters to

The Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa's launched what it calls a 'genocide hotline' - asking people to report sightings of Israeli Defence Force soldiers holidaying in New Zealand. It's part of their campaign against the war on Gaza, and it says the focus is not Israeli or Jewish people - but IDF soldiers. National chair, John Minto, says now is a window of opportunity to pressure Israel more to continue with the ceasefire. "There's been industrial-scale killing of Palestinians in Gaza - no

US stocks took a sharp drop - and experts are feeling wary - after a Chinese artificial intelligence startup posed a threat to America's technology industry. DeepSeek unveiled a new ChatGPT-like AI model called R1 that operated at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI’s, Google’s or Meta’s models, causing the Nasdaq to plunge by 3.1 percent. US markets analyst Scott Shellady says the $5.6 million computing power cost will be concerning for investors, when compared to the hundreds of millions or billions

A National MP wants to raise the age for mandatory jury duty. Under current legislation, the court registrar must excuse anyone over the age of 65 who's been summoned for jury service if they request it. Whanganui MP Carl Bates has had his Member's Bill drawn today - proposing to raise automatic excusal from jury duty from 65 to 72. He says this would update a very old law.

The Government and Opposition have butted heads on the first day in Parliament. The Prime Minister boasted of the Government plans to boost economic growth - while Labour slammed its achievements and pointed to record departures from the country. Chris Luxon is calling it 'the party of no' - which said no to tax relief, gene technology, and backing farmers. Later, opposition leader Chris Hipkins claimed Luxon was in favour of saying no to delivering new ferries, a new Dunedin hospital, and

Labour says it's nonsense to suggest the private sector does things better - after National has said it will campaign on asset sales next election. ACT has proposed health and education as starting points. But Labour leader Chris Hipkins says we only need to look at electricity companies gouging New Zealand consumers for profit. He says the companies stopped investing in new generation since becoming private. "Every New Zealand household's paying higher power prices - when the National Party said

A war of words has erupted over the logistics of speaking slots during submission on the Treaty Principles Bill. The pro-bill lobby group Hobson's Pledge claimed they were left off the list of those allowed to front up to the committee of MPs considering the bill in person. Hobson's Pledge spokesman Elliot Iklei was quick to explain the group did request a speaking slot. "So whatever you've been hearing from over there is utterly inaccurate. It is incorrect."

US President Donald Trump's push for Arab nations to take in Palestinians to 'clean out' Gaza could be a genuine suggestion. He's said Egypt and Jordan should take in Gazans - with the Strip extensively damaged and people dying. Greg Barton, a noted professor of global Islamic politics, says Trump is 'flying a kite' to see the response, and what he can away with. "Donald Trump will typically say things that are contradictory - and allow himself plausible deniability, so he can walk his way back from
