New Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has had a chaotic start to his time in office, with the flooding in Auckland adding to the growing list of woes the Government faces. 

However, two polls this week have given a beleaguered Labour Party some good news – with Hipkins and his party narrowly ahead of Christopher Luxon and National.

But with the numbers suggesting Aotearoa is on the verge of a hung Parliament after October’s election, it’s going to be a tight race when voting starts. 

Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald political editor Claire Trevett to discuss the new political landscape taking shape, and what it means for both parties.
