Christopher Luxon Under Pressure: What Happens Now?

Описание: The political landscape in New Zealand has been rocked by a new poll from the Taxpayers’ Union, and the fallout is getting messy. Duncan Garner is joined by Jordan Williams and political commentator Ani O’Brien to break down the numbers that have the National Party on edge.

With National sitting at 28% and reports of internal leaks, we look at whether Christopher Luxon is misreading the mood of the nation. The panel discusses the "death rattle" of a leadership that many feel isn't listening to advice or delivering on its core election promises. We also touch on the bizarre situation where more New Zealanders now trust Labor over National when it comes to not raising taxes.

Plus, we look ahead to the Royal Commission into COVID-19 and what it could mean for Chris Hipkins. Is the media doing its job in holding our leaders accountable, or is there an intellectual arrogance creeping into our newsrooms?
