The new old president, the hīkoi hits Auckland, and a momentous day of apology at parliament.

After more than a week scrutinising the granular data, the Gone By Lunchtime podcast decision desk is ready to make a call: Donald Trump has won the US presidency. In a new episode, Annabelle Lee-Mather, Toby Manhire and Ben Thomas fill a void in global podcast commentary by discussing the victory and what it means for New Zealand. Elon Musk is a Christopher Luxon fan, Citizen Peter Thiel has a crib in Queenstown and Luxon was high up the list of phoners for the president-elect, so can we get a pass on the tariff train?

But first: As the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti streams through Auckland, what is its impact and is the call for a conscience vote on the Treaty Principles Bill to be taken seriously.

Plus: the day of apology for abuse in state care – what it did and didn’t achieve, why Una Jagose is under pressure, and what is involved in doing redress properly.
