Episode Details

Maiki Sherman, TVNZs political editor, faces a five-day suspension from Parliament for violating press gallery rules during a National Party caucus meeting. The incident, tied to a leaked confidence vote and plummeting poll numbers, has sparked tensions between the media and politics. Despite other news outlets also breaking the rules, Sherman was singled out by the Speaker. The suspension comes amidst allegations of a homophobic slur and a recent change in Prime Minister Christopher Luxons media presence. TVNZs Nadia Tolich emphasizes a safe workplace, but the media-politics friction remains palpable.
