Hipkins v Hosking: Chippy fires up over 'hidden bill', CGT, Swarbrick howler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to Inside Politics. The pre-election opening of the books by the Treasury this week has put a spring in National’s step. The books might not show that the country is “back on track”, but there’s a hint of a goat track on the horizon, with tax revenue forecast to rise, a surplus coming sooner than forecast at the Budget, and $15 billion less that needs to be borrowed over the next four years. You can expect to see National relying heavily on a campaign based on better forecasts rather tha
MMP's overhang campaign causing a pre-election hangover (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If National's party vote is depleted further it would spark questions about its authority to lead a re-elected Government. The trouble with the debate over strategic voting is that everybody is right to some extent. Sir John Key was right when he said that National supporters giving their party vote to Act or New Zealand First and electorate vote to National could result in getting rid of some of National’s best ministers for no-names from other parties. Commentator Ben Thomas was right when he
Launch showdown: Who made the biggest impact as Luxon, Hipkins get personal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to Inside Politics. For sheer impact, Labour’s campaign launch had it over National’s yesterday. But there’s a long way to go to November 7 in a contest that could go either way.

Read excerpt
Welcome to Inside Politics. Parliament broke up yesterday for the election on November 7 and a few honourable mentions are in order. Most perceptions about politicians are formed outside of the debating chamber, but the House still matters as an arena of accountability and performance. These are the five MPs I consider to be the high-impact players in the House this term: 1. Speaker Gerry Brownlee: For his judgment, which is usually excellent, and his humour, which is always excellent. 2. Minist
Xu-Nan wants to be known for 1100 questions, not Peters' verbal attack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lawrence Xu-Nan has a list of favourite ministers who he says have been willing to share their expertise. Photo / Mark Mitchell Lawrence Xu-Nan’s ambition to be best known as the most inquisitive MP may be hard to fulfil. For now, he is known primarily as the Chinese-born MP whom Foreign Minister Winston Peters verbally attacked in Parliament. Ironically, most of Peters’ comments, which were widely condemned as racist, were not immediately picked up by Xu-Nan, a Green list MP. And after he read
