It might not be sinister, but the latest stuff-up by a government minister layers on the pain for Chris Hipkins.
A clutch of Auckland airport shares purchased by a teenage Michael Wood, and his failure to get rid of them as a minister, have created a fresh headache for Labour in the leadup to an election. In the latest episode of Gone By Lunchtime, Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas assess the mess and its implications.
Plus: Simeon Brown and the many intersections of the National Party position on te reo and road signs; a Voyager media award for the Birkenhead Bowling Club interrogators; Christopher Luxon snookered on contraception fees while Labour goes full panto with Handmaid’s Tale allusions; and all the big calls from the electoral review panel – are they right, and to they stand a chance of coming to pass?
