1-on-1 in 10: Chris Hipkins on Palestine, the Economy & the Fight for 2026

This week’s 1-on-1 in 10 features Labour leader Chris Hipkins in a candid, unflinching interview with Martyn Bradbury. From the government’s refusal to recognise Palestine, to the collapse of infrastructure investment and the economic fallout of tax cuts, Hipkins pulls no punches. He slams Winston Peters’ “national embarrassment” at the UN, explains how the construction crash and mass migration are tied to National’s early policy failures, and lays out what Labour must do to restore jobs, homes, and hope. Chippie also talks about fossil fuel fantasy, the privatisation of local elections, and why he believes democracy itself is on the line in 2026. One of the most comprehensive interviews yet in the 1-on-1 in 10 series.
