How is the coalition Government performing, one year after being elected?
About this episode
This week marks one year since the 2023 election.
That election saw Labour’s historic majority cut in half, and started weeks of negotiations between National, Act and NZ First about the shape of the government.
Marking the anniversary, a 1News Verian poll shows 30% of respondents believe the country is in better shape than a year ago – while 40% think it’s worse.
That divisive nature has been a cornerstone of this government, but is that having any impact on their policies? And what about the other side of the aisle?
Today on The Front Page, political commentator Ben Thomas joins us to analyse the last year in politics.
