In our first episode, Phil, Chris and Sam tackle:

* The implosion inside Te Pāti Māori — is this the end of the party as we know it?

* Labour’s Capital Gains Tax — why fairness, timing, and communication could define the next election.

* Prince Andrew and the Monarchy — what the UK’s royal reckoning means for New Zealand’s constitutional future.

Hosted by Sam Collins, Phil Goff and Chris Finlayson, Cross Party Lines unpacks the week in New Zealand politics from two sides of the aisle - without the noise. Each episode dives into three or four major stories shaping the country, offering rare cross-partisan insight from two political heavyweights who’ve been inside the cabinet room, across the debating chamber and behind the closed doors of power.
