New Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has had a chaotic start to his time in office, with the flooding in Auckland adding to the growing list of woes the Government faces. 

However, two polls this week have given a beleaguered Labour Party some good news – with Hipkins and his party narrowly ahead of Christopher Luxon and National.

Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald political editor Claire Trevett to discuss the new political landscape taking shape, and what it means for both parties.
