  • Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the special elections in Wisconsin, Florida
    Two special elections in the US are racking up quite the price tag. Voters are heading to the polls in two special elections in Florida and Wisconsin. Florida's holding special elections for Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz's congressional seats, and both seats are critical races for Republicans, given their slim majority in the House. The battleground state of Wisconsin is also voting on a new judge for the state's top court. It's become the most expensive judicial contest in US history, with more than $90 million being spent on campaigning, including $21 million by Elon Musk. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Musk has been accused of trying to buy the election. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Steve Price: Australian Correspondent on potential impact of US tariffs on Australia
    Trump tariffs are looming over Australia. Washington is expected to announce new tariffs on its trading partners tomorrow, and opinions are divided on whether Australia will get pinged. Australian Correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking that they shouldn’t get hit too badly as there’s currently a $17.9 billion trade surplus with the United States. He says there could be a couple of flow on effects that could impact Australia, such as China flooding their market with cheaper products, or buying less of their minerals as they won’t selling as much to the US.

  • Mike's Minute: Labour are the ones with a Greens issue
    As exercised as some have been this week about social media, the Greens and their behaviour, the bigger issue is not the Greens, but Labour and all who might support them into Government. As much as we may froth and hyperventilate about any given issue of the day or small firestorm, who runs the country and how is what we all ultimately should be focused on. We will not be going back to a single large party ever again, for two reasons. One is because Covid is not repeating and, even if it did, I doubt we would panic again electorally the way we did. Two is given when Labour was left to their own devices, they literally destroyed the place, most of us, for good or bad, have come to the conclusion that a mix of parties under this MMP system we seem to have voted for an accepted is here to stay. So National need at least one player, probably two, and the same applies to Labour. For now, National seem to have got lucky and/or well organised. Whether you support it or not, broadly speaking National, Act, and NZ First get along fine. The media try to stir bits of trouble around minor matters periodically and we are yet to see a full-blown campaign post a first term, where the gloves are off a bit and a few punches might get thrown. But overall, things are cordial and well managed. Labour on the other hand need certainly the Greens and possibly the Māori Party. Both are increasingly ropey. Both are increasingly belligerent, both are increasingly fringe and both are an electoral nightmare for a so-called mainstream, left-wing party. The Greens of James Shaw, Rod Donald, and Jeanette Fitzsimons are long gone. The Māori Party of Pita Sharples and Tariana Turia are long gone Both the current Greens and the Māori Party are anti-establishment disruptors who revel in a type of anarchy, almost as though they are outside the system. All of that is fine if you like that and want to vote for it. But it is completely incompatible to running a country, even for a Labour Party that has become increasingly left-leaning and socialist. If you don’t need, or want, to be in power, and I don’t think half the Greens or the Māori Party actually do, you can say what you want. But Labour do want power, and their problem is they are going to end up having to answer for an increasingly unhinged rabble or at least try to dress it up as something they can handle. That’s their problem. I don’t think they have the wherewithal to even come close to pulling that trick off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • Pollies: National's Mark Mitchell and Labour's Ginny Andersen on Te Pati Māori, the Green Party, new ferry deal
    A new test for Parliament's processes. Te Pāti Māori MPs are refusing to appear before a Privileges Committee hearing about last year's haka in the House, after being told they can't appear together with their lawyer. Labour MP Peeni Henare appeared before the committee last month, with the committee finding his conduct was disorderly but didn't amount to contempt. He apologised for leaving his seat to perform a haka, but stands by performing it, saying he'd do it again Fellow Labour MP Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking it will be interesting to see how this plays out. She says Labour believes in taking part in the Privileges Committee process, but this is an issue for Te Pāti Māori and Parliament to navigate.
