The latest Taxpayers Union-Curia poll and 1News Verian poll show the coalition Government is losing ground.

Both show the left bloc of Labour, the Greens, and Te Pāti Māori would have enough support to form the next government.

It’s all while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s first post-cab of the year was marred by questions about Act’s David Seymour – the man set to become Deputy PM in May.

Opposition leader, Chris Hipkins, has gone as far to call for Seymour to be removed as a Minister – over what he’s calling a “pattern of behaviour”.

So, is this the start of a fracture that can’t be healed? And does the public have good cause to be concerned about where we’re headed?

Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political editor, Jason Walls, is with us to discuss the state of politics.

Inflation could hit 3.7% under Treasury’s ‘worst-case’ inflation scenario. 

It’s while petrol prices have risen about 45 to 50 cents a litre, adding about $23 to the price of filling an average car.  

Finance Minister Nicola Willis has outlined the government's priorities - First a focus on supply chains, then potential and anticipated freight disruptions, and lastly our economic response.   

Ministers are meeting daily, written situation updates twice-daily, they’re working closely with importers – we're being told not to panic. 

But, after criticising the last government to no end about its economic decisions during the pandemic - what tools does this government have to ease cost-of living pressures? 

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann is with us to talk through what we could do next.

They’ve reported a 19% increase year on year for help. 

So, what does this say about New Zealand’s unacceptably high and persistent rate of family violence?

How pets are keeping victims trapped in violent homes

If you’re old enough, then you’ll remember there was a time when every Kiwi household had to pick a weekday where they wouldn’t drive.

Carless Days were introduced in 1979 as an attempt to reduce petrol consumption amid a global oil shock thanks to the Iranian Revolution.

The scheme was short lived – it was scrapped in 1980, after it achieved only a minimal reduction in petrol use. 
So, why are we hearing about it again now if it failed so miserably? And, are there alternatives we should be looking at closer?

Today on The Front Page, transport commentator and Greater Auckland director Matt Lowrie is with us to break down the idea, and maybe what others there are as petrol prices continue to rise.
