The Trans Tasman Pol Pod Episode 33

Labour is clearly looking to make the next election about economic management, and the pressure is mounting on Chris Luxon and Nicola Willis to stop the rot and turn the country around, despite the fact they have very little control over the economic levers. The latest Roy Morgan poll suggests voters really have had enough, with support for Labour surging to its highest point in this poll since the 2023 election. The Labour-Greens- Te Pāti Māori Opposition now has 50% support - up 4 points from a month ago.  While Chris Luxon laughs off polls which show his Government under pressure, he will not be able to ignore them for much longer. His administration's credibility and competence is under question, while his own personal leadership skills are also being put under the blow torch. The Government appears to be taking lessons on immigration from Nigel Farage and Donald Trump, launching a new crackdown as it again looks to divert attention away from the real economic issues affecting the country. And we're joined by Roy Morgan Poll Manager Julian McCrann to talk about their latest poll.
