September 14th: Three economists have come out against National's foreign buyer tax plan, saying it is 'beyond comprehension' with the possibility of creating a $2 billion hole in their tax plans. So why won't the party release their workings for it, and will it damage them in the polls?

NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan joins Georgina to provide his analysis. Plus, National targets farmers, Chris Hipkins heads to the West Coast, and a climate change debate gets tense.

The US and Israel are escalating attacks on Iran - which has launched counterattacks on neighbouring Gulf states.

All the while, the push and pull on European leaders has been in the spotlight – with Trump publicly chastising UK PM Sir Keir Starmer.

That’s due to his refusal to offer up a British base for the initial wave of strikes.

Britain is scrambling to send a warship to Cyprus after France announced a major deployment to the eastern Mediterranean.

So, with the involvement of EU countries, is it only a matter of time before the Pacific is called up to help?

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago international relations professor Robert Patman is with us to dissect what could happen next.

Iran strikes: Is it time for New Zealand to take a stronger stance?

Iran has cut off one of the world’s most strategically important choke points.

About a fifth world’s total oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s revolutionary guards commander-in-chief has warned that “if anyone tries to pass” they will “set those ships ablaze”.

The narrow sea passage sits between Oman and Iran.

Experts have said a prolonged conflict in the Middle East could lead to a sustained rise in oil prices, fueling inflation, and having global economic effects.

Today on The Front Page, geopolitical analyst Dr Geoffrey Miller is with us to take us through why the blocking of just over three kilometres of water can have global ramifications.
