Nick Mills: Is Winston Peters running the coalition?

Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills ·

2026/04/30

EDITORIAL: Overnight, we’ve learnt that behind closed doors, at the very start of this war in Iran, our own Government wasn’t quite on the same page. And as a New Zealander watching all of this unfold, what I wanted—what I think most of us wanted—was a clear, confident line about where we as a country stand. Instead, we’ve got emails, pushback—and a pretty uncomfortable question about who’s actually in charge. Because cast your mind back to that first stand-up. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon,

Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills ·

2026/04/28

EDITORIAL: Here’s the thing — I just don’t buy the outrage, and I actually think this needs to be called a bit more straight. Christopher Luxon pulling out of his regular Monday slot on Breakfast isn’t some constitutional crisis. It’s not democracy under threat. It’s a political decision — and honestly, just say it for what it is. Don’t dress it up, don’t spin it. If Luxon doesn’t want to sit there every week and get carved up by Tova O'Brien, then just say that. If he and his media team — and

EDITORIAL: Well, well, well… here we go again The theatre, the pressure, the whispers, the leaks — and then bang — Christopher Luxon walks into caucus and says, “righto, let’s settle this.” Yesterday, we asked for exactly that, didn’t we? I said on this show, I wanted to see a bit of steel. A bit of fight. Not the polished corporate lines, not the media training — I wanted to see a Prime Minister Christopher Luxon look like he was in charge. And to his credit, that’s exactly what he did. He

This is where you find out whether a Prime Minister is actually in charge… or just borrowing the label. Because over the last 24 to 48 hours, this hasn’t just been a bit of background noise or media speculation — this has been a full-blown leak culture inside the National Party.

2026/04/16

EDITORIAL: We know there’s a growing gap in this country—and it’s not just between the rich and the poor. It’s between what we say we want, and what we’re actually prepared to do to pay for. Because right now, the numbers are starting to bite. Treasury is warning—loudly—that we are heading into a future where fewer workers supporting more retirees. We know that - it’s fact. And now, Inland Revenue is backing that up, saying quite clearly: if we don’t change course, the books don’t stack up. Debt
