The Whip for 25 March 2026

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Jacqui Van Der Kay, Lyric Waiwiri-Smith and Ron Mark. On the show today: the twists and turns of the fuel crisis and what the government has to balance; will New Zealand get involved in the Iran War? Depends which government minister you ask; Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon both had very ad weeks recently, but it looks like it hasn't hurt them in the polls; Should the courts intervene in the business of Parliament? Speaker Gerry Brownlee thinks not and would our panellists pay 10 thousand dollars to sit next to Christopher Luxon?
