Full Show Podcast: 11 August 2025 - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

On the Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive Full Show Podcast for Monday, 11 August 2025, Australia says it will recognise Palestine as a state, and New Zealand says it will make a decision on the same on one month. International relations expert Professor Robert Patman tells Heather why this is an important step - and whether it will mean any more aid gets to the starving people of Gaza.  

Labour leader Chris Hipkins on why his party keeps climbing the polls - and whether he would let the Greens' Chloe Swarbrick be his Finance Minister.

Will Christchurch's new stadium be ready for the Super Rugby Round in April?  

Destination Queenstown's Mat Woods on the new super luxury hotel that's being built in Queenstown.

Plus, the Huddle debates the pros and cons of recognising a Palestinian state and whether the Government needs more "legacy" projects.
