    08/04/2026 | 27 mins.
    Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Peter Dunne, Lillian Hanly and Corin Dann. On the show tonight: the extraordinary last 24 hours in the US-Israel Iran War. Seemingly a full scale destruction of Iran was avoided at the 11th hour with Donald Trump giving the peace process another two weeks. Another political poll, the Taxpayer Union isn't great news for national, but good news for NZ First, and The Opportunity Party hitting 2.6 percent. The OCR - analysis on the Reserve bank's moves and what it means for politics. And finally, Luxon has rejected a Te Pati Maori call for a MP pay freeze. the Whip breaks that down and asks should MPs have any say in how much they get paid?
