It’s a trying time for the Government, with fuel prices and the Iran War affecting just about every Kiwi.

It’s something the Opposition knows all too well, handling a crisis not of their making, with Covid.

But, how are politicians of all stripes handling the pressure? 

How is the public feeling about their performance?

And, how much weight should we put on polls anyway? Are they nonsense? Or, are we only told to ignore them when a party’s doing poorly?

Today on The Front Page, lawyer and political commentator, Liam Hehir, is with us to talk politics, polls, and policy.
