The Whip 4 February 2026

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of
politics. He is joined by panellists Andrea Vance, Maria Slade,
and Chris Finlayson. They discuss the latest rise in unemployment
figures and how the Government will handle it, and an eventful
start to Waitangi celebrations.


Then, they pick up on pollster David Farrar's arguement that New
Zealand should join Australia, and finally, they look at
Wellington's latest water infrastructure failure: sewage pouring
out into the sea from Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant.
