Chris Luxon says he is confident that he will lead National in next year's general election. 

A hit in the polls raised questions about his leadership last week, and rumours spread that he would be replaced come next election. 

The Prime Minister has denied these rumours.

He told Mike Hosking that, 'It's quite hard to take this seriously because I've read all of this before the whole 4 years I've been in politics.'

"A wild, unhinged romp": Annie Murphy and Murray Bartlett talk 'Nine Perfect Strangers' 

Kiwis will be able to experience the drama as ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ returns for a second season.  

Nicole Kidman’s Masha Dmitrichenko has invited a new cast of characters to join a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps, pushing them to the brink over the course of a week.  

Annie Murphy and Murray Bartlett are among the cast, playing alongside Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong, Aras Aydin, and of course, Nicole Kidman. 

For Murphy, the ensemble nature was a huge draw, telling Mike Hosking she was thrilled by the prospect. 

“We were there for six months Munich, with a whole bunch of really talented, really theatre, dorky actors... I was thrilled.” 

Bartlett was also excited to be a part of the show, having watched and “devoured” the first season. 

Season 2 will be releasing on May 22nd worldwide on Amazon Prime.

"Time to move": Mark Robinson unpacks resignation from NZ Rugby

Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson believes he's leaving the game in a better place than he found it. 

He's confirmed he will leave the job at the end of the year, bringing to an end a six-year tenure that started just before the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Robinson says he's proud of what's been achieved during a turbulent period. 

He told Mike Hosking that the next six months are critical for their role both domestically and internationally, with both their involvement in the establishment of international calendars and competitions as well as the opportunity they have to reset the financial model for the New Zealand game.  

Robinson likes to think those would both be signed off by the end of the year, and that in conjunction with his family moving over to Australia, makes him feel it’s time to move on.
