Finance Minister Nicola Willis on National's lowest poll result since 2020

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Finance Minister Nicola Willis joins Nick Mills in the studio for her monthly catch up. The latest poll from the Taxpayer Union and Curia has National at 28.4% - the lowest for the party since it formed Government in 2023. Nick questions Luxon's leadership and asks Willis - is there any hope for Luxon as Prime Minister. These numbers mean the left block could form a government, and is Nationals lowest result while in government since November 1999. They also discuss the effects that Kiwis could have to deal with from the Iran conflict, and what the government has planned to ease financial pressure.  Plus, where is the Wellington North candidate - has Wellington been neglected this election?
