  • Summary

  • Six months have passed since the coalition government was sworn into office – and the honeymoon period has well and truly ended.

    After being met almost immediately with protests by Māori leaders, backlash grew over the repeal of anti-smoking laws, the extent of job cuts in the public service, and cuts to disability services.

    As polling suggests an uphill battle for the coalition to reach a second term, moves to tackle law and order and cut back government spending has appealed to their supporters.

    So how has the Government fared amongst all this turmoil, and is Prime Minister Christopher Luxon managing to control his three-headed coalition?

    Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald political editor Claire Trevett and Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper join to discuss the political highs and lows of the government so far.
