The Whip for 11 March 2026

Join Wallace Chapman for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes
of politics. He is joined by panellists Guyon Espiner, Lillian
Hanly, and Heather Roy. They begin with the second report of the
Covid-19 Response Inquiry - how well did the government of the
day handle the pandemic? Then, just as the economy looked like it
was making a correcting turn... the war in Iran began and oil
prices started spiking. What does this mean in an election year?
After that, they discuss how things are shaking out for
Christopher Luxon the week after a devastating poll. And finally,
a lookback on Shane Reti's legacy as he joins a string of
Ministers bowing out from politics.
