About this episode

Labour Leader Chris Hipkins has acknowledged he considered his future in politics, in the wake of his ex-wife's allegations.  

She made a series of claims in a now deleted private social media post on Sunday.  

None of which alleges unlawful conduct.  

Being a politician is one of the most public facing roles in our society, but where should the line be drawn between public and private? 

Today on The Front Page, political commentator Grant Duncan is with us.
