About this episode
The National Party will be gathering for its Annual General Meeting this weekend.
It comes as the party recently marked eight months in power, and as key campaign promises of tax cuts and youth boot camps take effect, giving them plenty to celebrate.
But it’s not been an easy ride for the biggest party in Parliament, caught in the middle of a coalition it would rather not be in, and facing continued pushback over its handling of Māori relations and the environment.
Today on The Front Page, we discuss how National is handling these highs and lows with NZ Herald political editor, Claire Trevett.
