While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024.   

The 2023 general election was a battle between the two Chrises – Labour's Chris Hipkins, and National’s Christopher Luxon. 

It was a battle that Luxon ended up winning, thanks to the support of two coalition partners in Act and NZ First.

But it’s a match-up that currently looks set to be repeated next year, with Hipkins sticking around as Labour’s leader – and showing no signs of stepping aside. 

That’s likely because the polls between the coalition and Labour, the Greens and Te Pati Māori remain pretty evenly split.  

At the end of 2024, we caught up with both leaders a week apart for a wrap of the year.

New episodes return January 13th.
