Christopher Luxon's Leadership, NZ Inflation and Trump's Iran War
Description
This week, we’re staring down the ripple effects of a world in chaos and feeling it hit close to home. From Trump’s escalating war with Iran to rising inflation here in New Zealand, the pressure is building and fast.
We unpack what the latest CPI numbers really mean, why economists are getting it wrong, and how global instability is flowing straight into Kiwi wallets. Then it’s onto the TVNZ poll shake-up, what it signals for the coalition, and whether leadership pressure inside National is reaching a tipping point.
Plus, Minister of Defence Chris Penk joins us to talk security in the Pacific, and Green MP Hūhana Lyndon breaks down climate resilience on the frontline. It’s a big one, and there’s plenty at stake.
