Political Playback – 13 August 2026

In this episode of Political Playback – was the coup against Luxon concocted by the media or by MPs – Simon O’Connor and Bob McCoskrie have differing views on this and put up their arguments for their position; what do the latest political polls show, and how are they being presented by the media; who is voting for the Opportunity Party according to the surveys; which political party has ruled out which political party – it’s quite the merry-go-round; the radical international transgender group associated with the NZ group challenging the ban on puberty blockers makes a stunning admission; and when should a public servant tell their bosses that they’re thinking of running for a political party.
