If the Prime Minister truly believes Winston Peters put politics ahead of the national interest, how can he possibly keep him as Foreign Minister?

Chris Finlayson’s call for “war” on NZ First says something brutal about National right now: one of the few people still willing to fight no longer sits in caucus.

Community groups are under pressure. Demand is exploding. Funding is stretched thin. Now six political parties are being forced to answer for what comes next.

A $6-a-day migrant surcharge won’t fix New Zealand’s infrastructure crisis, but critics say it will make vulnerable workers pay for decades of political failure.

Oil prices are rising. Inflation fears are back. And New Zealand’s economy is staring down another global crisis. Nicola Willis explains the Government’s plan.

If the economy is doing so well, why does it feel like most people are drowning? Chlöe Swarbrick says the system is working exactly as designed: for the wealthy.

Winston smells blood. Luxon looks weaker by the day. And as the economy slides deeper into crisis, the coalition’s civil war is becoming impossible to hide.

What if Mt Albert stopped voting traditionally and voted strategically instead? A Helen Clark endorsement could completely reshape Election 2026.

Winston Peters is tearing chunks out of National while Luxon looks too weak to stop him. The question now is whether this coalition crisis is entirely deliberate.
