We’re now in the final stretch of the election campaign, and Chris Hipkins is hoping to lead Labour back into Government. 

Labour has been campaigning with a focus on easing the cost of living, improving public services, and building a fairer economy. 

For Hipkins, the last few weeks has been an opportunity to connect with Kiwis and make his case for why he should be Prime Minister. 

Today on The Front Page, Labour leader Chris Hipkins is with us to talk about the highs and lows of the campaign and the moments that have stuck with him.

The major parties are making their last pitch to voters, crisscrossing the country, trying to win over undecided Kiwis and convince them they deserve another three years in Government. 

But while the party leaders are focused on winning power, there’s another battle playing out behind the scenes: the fight for political survival. 

With both National and Labour polling well below their 2023 election results, a number of sitting MPs could find themselves out of a job come Saturday night. 

So, who’s at risk, and what could the final days of campaigning mean for the make-up of the next Parliament? 

Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political reporter Ethan Griffiths is with us from the National Party tour bus.

There are some new Warrant of Fitness rules that could save Kiwis billions. 

The changes mean people who buy a new car will only need to get their next WOF after four years. 

Vehicles aged 4 to 14 will only need a WOF every two years - with cars over 14 still needing one every year. 

Today on The Front Page, AA motoring spokesperson Allister Wade is with us to talk through the changes and what it means for you.

The Warehouse built its name on being the place where everyone gets a bargain. 

But with Kmart winning over shoppers and Temu competing for their dollars online, the red shed has struggled to keep its place in Kiwi shopping baskets. 

Now, the company has unveiled a new strategy to turn things around, after its chief executive admitted it had lost sight of what customers want. 

So what will it take to win them back? And after years of trying to turn its fortunes around, what makes this plan different? 

Today on The Front Page, the Herald’s Tom Raynel joins us to explain what’s next for The Warehouse.
