The new Government is only a week in but there have already been some fiery exchanges.
National’s Christopher Luxon and Labour’s Chris Hipkins crossed swords in parliament and we’ve already seen Kiwis take to the streets in protest.
Te Pati Māori, holding its largest-ever caucus, has promised that this only the start and that there will be further protests to come.
Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has made a number of controversial comments that have left the Luxon red-faced.
So where does this leave National-led coalition? How divisive are the Government’s policies? And how stable is the partnership between National, Act and NZ first.
Today, NZ Herald political report Michael Neilson gives us a breakdown of what has been an eventful and somewhat chaotic first week for the new Government.
