Crucial battleground states are flip-flopping between blue and red as ballots pile up. 

Former US ambassador to New Zealand Scott Brown believes Donald Trump will turn the key states red. 

Brown tells Heather du Plessis-Allan that what is different in this election is Trump’s rise amongst Latino, Hispanic, and Black Americans. Kamala Harris’ late entrance to the race and avoidance of hard-pressing interviews has affected the voter turnout.

The Government has brought forward the introduction of the Treaty Principles Bill.

The legislation will be introduced to Parliament on Thursday, more than a week earlier than expected.

A planned country wide protest against the bill is still going ahead next week as planned, in which ahīkoiwill travel from the top of the North Island and from Bluff in the far south to arrive at Parliament in Wellington.

The Government is facing accusations that the change in schedule is to undermine the hīkoi.

David Seymour, the Minister responsible for the Bill, tells Heather du Plessis-Allan scheduled introductions to Parliament are changed often and the changes usually go unnoticed.

“Sometimes you get things done early, you go early.”

The US election is ticking into its last hours. 

As voters are putting pen to paper, conflicting views on key priorities will set a challenge for whoever ultimately wins. 

Host of TVNZ’s Q&A and Newstalk ZB’s Saturday Mornings, Jack Tame is at Kamala Harris’ election headquarters at Howard University and tells Heather du Plessis-Allan the mood is not yet dark, despite Trump showing an early lead. 

Across counties like Michigan and Wisconsin, Harris is not performing as well as Joe Biden did in the previous election, suggesting Harris may not be in the strongest position.
