  • Barry Soper: The political strength, or lack thereof, of the National led coalition

    Barry Soper: The political strength, or lack thereof, of the National led coalition
    2025/11/21

    Rumours have been swirling of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon getting rolled by his party.

    Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith denied the rumours saying no one in National’s caucus had raised with him the idea of replacing Luxon.

    In recent polls National has lagged behind Labour with 33% versus 38% in the Talbot Mills/Anacta poll conducted between November 1 and 10.

    This has fanned the flames of conversation regarding the likelihood of National's re-election next year.

    Although, Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "essentially you've got Labour on the ropes, whereas you've got, the coalition government headed by National in a much stronger position."

    Mark Lister: Investment Director on persisting nervousness in the stock markets despite Nvidia record results
    2025/11/21

    There have been no signs of easing anxiety in the stock markets despite record Nvidia results.

    Investment director for Craigs Investment Partners Mark Lister told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the apprehension is a result of not wanting to overestimate the appropriate levels of optimism.

    "It's more of a case of a healthy pullback, a healthy correction rather than something that's going to develop into anything more sinister," he said.

    Trump is set to meet with recently elected New York mayor Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday following months of public conflict.

    The US President announced the meeting in a Truth Social Post which said the "communist mayor" requested the meeting.

    US correspondent Charles Feldman told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "Trump is at heart a New Yorker, and I think he's going to want to present himself as somebody who does have New York's interests at heart."

    Chandler told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the days of doctors' handwriting causing issues are over, but electronic systems have introduced a whole new range of problems.

  • Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: The talk of rolling Luxon is very real

    Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: The talk of rolling Luxon is very real
    2025/11/21
    Either Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is telling porkies, or he’s the most out-of-the-loop person in Wellington. His claim that there’s “no talk” of rolling Chris Luxon is complete nonsense. There is talk—serious talk. I can tell you for a fact that senior National Party ministers believe Luxon can’t continue in the job. MPs are actively discussing whether to pull the pin and replace him. If they do, the most likely successor is Chris Bishop. But—and this is crucial—they haven’t decided to do it yet. Why? Because it’s risky. Rolling a sitting Prime Minister has only happened once before, with Jim Bolger, and that didn’t end well. MPs know that sticking with Luxon might pay off if the economy improves next year. Better economic conditions could lift National’s polling and save seats currently at risk. But there’s a flip side: if the polls don’t recover, Luxon’s unpopularity could drag National down further. Like it or not, modern elections are presidential in style—voters focus on who they want as Prime Minister. Jacinda Ardern boosted Labour’s vote in 2017. Luxon is part of why National’s vote has fallen. Would Chris Bishop do better? Maybe. But it’s a guess. He could also do worse. And the instability of rolling a sitting PM could make things even worse for National. So MPs face two high-risk options: stick with an unpopular leader or gamble on an unproven one. It’s a call I wouldn’t want to make—but they’re making it right now. It may never happen, but trust me: the talk is real.
