The Front Page

We’re now in the final hours of the election campaign, and Christopher Luxon is fighting to secure a second term as Prime Minister.
When National came to power, it promised to get the economy back on track, deliver tax relief, and restore law and order.
But with the cost of living still weighing on households, and questions over the state of public services, Luxon needs to convince voters that his plan is working – and that another three years will make a difference.
Today on this final episode of The Front Page, Christopher Luxon joins us to talk about the campaign, the job, and what he hopes his political legacy will ultimately be.

The major parties are making their last pitch to voters, crisscrossing the country, trying to win over undecided Kiwis and convince them they deserve another three years in Government.
But while the party leaders are focused on winning power, there’s another battle playing out behind the scenes: the fight for political survival.
With both National and Labour polling well below their 2023 election results, a number of sitting MPs could find themselves out of a job come Saturday night.
So, who’s at risk, and what could the final days of campaigning mean for the make-up of the next Parliament?
Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political reporter Ethan Griffiths is with us from the National Party tour bus.

The Warehouse built its name on being the place where everyone gets a bargain.
But with Kmart winning over shoppers and Temu competing for their dollars online, the red shed has struggled to keep its place in Kiwi shopping baskets.
Now, the company has unveiled a new strategy to turn things around, after its chief executive admitted it had lost sight of what customers want.
So what will it take to win them back? And after years of trying to turn its fortunes around, what makes this plan different?
Today on The Front Page, the Herald’s Tom Raynel joins us to explain what’s next for The Warehouse.
