Should or shouldn’t New Zealand become a republic?

It’s a quandary that’s sparked fierce debate over decades, and it’s back on the agenda as King Charles heads down under for his first tour – but is skipping New Zealand.

With his visit prompting debate over in Australia, is it time for New Zealand to consider becoming a republic?

Today on The Front Page, Republic NZ’s Peter Hamilton joins us to discuss this issue and what a monarchy-free New Zealand could look like.

We did invite Monarchy NZ to participate in this discussion, but they declined.

The Government has set its sights on sorting out Wellington City Council. 

After councillors last week voted against a plan to sell shares in Wellington’s airport, the city’s long term plan will need to be re-opened.  

It has prompted Local Government Minister Simeon Brown to seek advice on potential interventions, and he has labeled the situation a ‘shambles’. 

So how bad have things got in the Capital? 

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Wellington issues reporter and host of On the Tiles Local Edition, Georgina Campbell, is with us to unpack the issues.
