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.
