The Whip for 29 April 2026

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of
politics. He is joined by panellists Jonathan Milne, Holly
Bennett, and Tracey Martin. First, they unpack a frosty few days
between Government Ministers and TVNZ, as allegations of the
conduct of Political Editor Maiki Sherman capture attention.
Then, they look at the Labour Party's policy plan, or lack
thereof, in the countdown to the election, and Winston Peters'
defence of rail in the face of fuel-saving measures for heavy
vehicles. Finally, should the Mayor get the best office at
council headquarters? Wellington City Council executives think
not, dishing themselves out the ocean views.
