Podcast appearances and mentions of Judith Collins

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Wayne Mapp, Andrea Vance and Grant Duncan. On the block for discussion tonight: the government's move-on policy for rough sleepers; should politicians use X?; the defence minister Judith Collins halts a NZDF bicultural programme, and the government quietly dropped it's quarterly action plans - otherwise known as "dashboard crap" by one Winston Peters.

The Defence Minister says possible requirements for Army leaders having to know waiata and karakia from memory is unacceptable. Act MP Todd Stephenson wrote to Judith Collins about the cultural skills framework with concerns it went beyond normal expectations of the Public Service. She says the force hadn't raised it with her, but after speaking with army leaders they had decided to pause implementation. Collins told Mike Hosking a soldier's ability to serve their country has nothing to do with their ability to recite waiata. She says it would be nice for people to do it, but as evidenced in her visit to the Munich Security Conference there's more pressing concerns, like ending up speaking Russian.

The Pentagon's policy chief Elbridge Colby recently called for a “NATO 3.0”, stating that the United States would “continue to provide the U.S. extended nuclear deterrent” to Europe, but when it came to most defense matters, Europe would need to “assume primary responsibility.” Colby is the undersecretary of war for policy and joins FP Live host Ravi Agrawal at the annual Munich Security Conference. And in part two of this podcast, Colby and Agrawal were joined by four other guests: Richard Marles, the deputy prime minister and defense minister of Australia; Judith Collins, the minister of defense of New Zealand; Toshimitsu Motegi, the foreign minister of Japan; and David van Weel, the foreign minister of the Netherlands.  Plus, One Thing from Ravi on U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference.  Listen to Munich Moments on Apple or Spotify.

Judith Collins' appointment as President of the Law Commission was waved through by Cabinet - with no recruitment process, no selection panel and no rival candidates. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

A catastrophic failure at the Moa Point wastewater plant in Wellington has laid bare a short-term crisis and a crisis of short-termism. Fortified by nothing but the balm of poo jokes, Ben Thomas relates the mood in the city and the measures under way in response. But does it say something deeper about the country and the state of its piping? Plus: a review of events of Waitangi, where the spotlight fell more directly on the parties of opposition than those of government. Just days after its divisions played out in the High Court, Te Pāti Māori's internal struggles manifested on the paepae, while a show of unity from Labour and the Greens was overshadowed by the announcement of Peeni Henare's exit from politics, and the sense of a story not being fully told. We discuss Henare's legacy, and where it leaves Labour's Māori caucus, as well as another big political departure, Judith Collins. What were the highs and lows of her remarkable parliamentary career, and is the step into the Law Commission presidency entirely legit? And finally: Energy minister Simon "Mega" Watts has announced the government will commission a billion-dollar import facility for liquefied natural gas to plug the gap in New Zealand's energy mix. But is the levy to fund it really a tax, and is this even the right question to be fixating on? Get your tickets to the Gone By Lunchtime 10th Birthday Party now! Learn more about your ad choices.

Kathryn, Tim and Lianne discuss recent events in politics including the resignation of Judith Collins. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Welcome to 2026 and Election Year! The Gals are back and this week they chat about the summer of politics, the tragic weather events we've seen in the  North Island and the dumpster fire that is global politics. Yass Queen to bipartisanship for making progress on modern slavery and Beehave Mate to a game of shag, shoot, marry. Question Time is all about Judith Collins!

For Friday Faceoff this week Nick Mills is joined by Nick Leggett and Nicola Young. The three Nic's debate the issues of the week – starting with the rates mess up at the council again with levies. Should we have consequences or is it just a case of human error? They discuss if Wellington is ready for a natural disaster, after the tragedy at Mount Maunganui. Landslides kill more people than earthquakes in Wellington – are we prepared for them? And on the two enquiries for the landslide at the mount, is it necessary to have a central and local government look into the response? They dissect the response, including from local Marae. The Nicks also debate the post office closures around Wellington, the pressure on ambulances with record numbers of call outs, Judith Collins retirement and where her portfolios should go. As well as horse meat pies – would they eat one? Where are the best pies in the region? Plus, Leggett and Young give their hot or nots for the week.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Trump's week: 2/10 Outside the usual madness came the NATO soldier Afghanistan insult and a dead man in Minneapolis, followed by the usual flannel about domestic terrorists. This time the backlash was real, forceful, and might well stick. The rugby union: 4/10 Too many rules around the coach. It's a classic case of overthinking it – just go get the best. NZ Post: 6/10 Yes, we would all like a post shop in the lounge, but it's not real so at least good on them for telling it like it is and defending a tough, but realistic, decision. Fees Free: 2/10 Data that shows why the polls are where they are. Very few are keen on a repeat of that level of fiscal carnage. Judith Collins: 8/10 Not just time (24 years) but a workload and a legacy. You don't get 18 portfolios without leaving an imprint.

Senior Cabinet Minister and National Party stalwart Judith Collins is returning to law after a 24-year career in politics. Ms Collins - one of the more familiar faces in politics - announced her retirement this morning, saying she feels like she's "done her dash". Political reporter Anneke Smith has more.

Judith Collins is leaving politics on a high note. The former National leader and senior MP is stepping back from politics after 24 years, taking up a new role mid-year as Law Commission President. Since Collins was first elected in 2002, she's held 18 ministerial roles, and is currently the Minister for Defence, Public Service, Space, Digitising Government, and the GCSB and NZSIS, and also the Attorney-General. She told Mike Hosking she's become the Mother of the House, and dealing with Parliament is like having 120-something naughty children. Collins says she feels like it's time to go, and with 12 years in Opposition and 12 in government, there's a good symmetry. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Corin Dann, Holly Bennett and Tracey Martin.

Judith Collins says the one thing she'd change about her political career is leading the National Party. The Senior MP has announced she's leaving politics after 24 years, in a career that included 18 different ministerial portfolios. In 2020 she had a brief stint leading the party, and lost the election to Jacinda Ardern. She says stepping up was a bad move.

Right, so the biggest political news of the day is that Judith Collins has announced she's retiring from politics to take up a new job as the head of the Law Commission mid‑year. I, for one, am going to miss Judith Collins being in politics, because she has that thing very few politicians have. Winston Peters has it, John Key had it - the ability to be a bit cheeky and have a laugh, but then get on and do the job. Too many politicians only have one or the other: they're either so serious about their work that they're boring, or they're having so much fun that they get distracted from the work. Collins, though, could crack a joke, smirk, raise an eyebrow, giggle, enjoy firing off a handgun - and still keep a lid on whatever portfolio she was managing that day. It hasn't always worked for her, obviously. Talofa became a meme, and praying in church during the 2020 campaign was probably one of the weirdest things you've ever seen. She was, you'd have to say, a better National Party leader on paper than in reality. But she has been the Minister of Justice, Police, Corrections, ACC, Defence, the intelligence agencies, the public service, Revenue, Ethnic Affairs, Energy, Space, and the Attorney‑General - and that's not even the comprehensive list. You don't hold that many portfolios across two different Governments without being capable, and Prime Ministers know that. But what I think Judith Collins was best at was the comeback. There was the Dirty Politics scandal a decade ago that cost her Cabinet jobs - but she made it back into Cabinet. There was the failed 2020 election campaign as leader - and she somehow managed to come back from that, something not everybody could have done. And now, finally, here in 2026, she has quit on her own terms. There's a life lesson in this for all of us - wait around long enough, do things the right way, and you'll make a comeback. And politics will be just a little less fun without Ju‑Co in it. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reflections on a tumultuous career, as senior National MP Judith Collins quits politics. She's moving to become the Law Commission President - after 24 years in Parliament. She lost the National leadership in 2021 after a caucus revolt, but just two years later became the Minister with the most portfolios.

Former National leader Judith Collins is retiring from politics to take a new job as President of the Law Commission, starting from mid-year. The MP for Papakura entered Parliament in 2002. She was a Minister in the Key Government, and ran for the party leadership three times - assuming the role in 2020, before stepping down in 2021.

After 24 years, former National Party leader Judith Collins has called time on her career in politics for a new role as head of the law commission. Collins is the longest-continuously serving female MP in New Zealand, winning her electorate seats in Clevedon and then Papakura at every general election she has contested since 2002. The prime minister’s office has confirmed Collins will remain the MP for Papakura, retaining her portfolios until she moves to the law commission mid-year. So, what does her departure mean for New Zealand politics, who is National lining up for her seat, and when the history books are written – what will Judith Collins’ be remembered for?

How did it come to this, and who is likely to emerge as the new leader, with less than 10 weeks to an election? Will deputy Nikki Kaye be promoted by caucus tonight? Is it Judith Collins' time?

The government is returning more than 3000 hectares to Maori in the top of the South Island, along with 420-million dollars in compensation. Attorney-General, Judith Collins spoke to Corin Dann.

What to make of the Andrew Coster interview on Q and A yesterday Firstly why did he do it. Obviously he felt he had been thrown under the bus by Judith Collins, Mark Mitchell and Richard Chambers at their recent press conference So he was prepared to throw them under the bus as well. And he does have a point when the IPCA report did not mention corruption but the politicians and the new police commissioner inferred it. The protection of his name is the reason he negotiated with the Public Service Commissioner regarding the delay in resigning from his latest job and frankly I don't blame him But the problem is he has no proof of his claims. And so now we have a he said, he said situation with nobody able to provide concrete proof of their claims. He may have briefed Mitchell and Hipkins of the situation but which situation was he talking about. An affair gone wrong or a police force covering up for one of their own. and how much detail of anything did he giver in these informal briefings. Who knows? The fascinating fact he mentioned is that the police is a 3 billion dollar business which makes the job of Police Commissioner one of the biggest in our economy. Ask any CEO whether they take notes of any conversation about their business and they'll tell you it's imperative. One would have thought it's imperative for any Minister of the Crown as well. My whole impression of the interview is that everyone was a bit loose. It's a tawdry tale of bad judgement at the top of our public service. And the buck always stops at the top It also reminded me that the political battles at the top levels of our public service are vicious affairs with everyone playing a hard game. And with Richard Chambers in a competition with a very competent police officer, who had a hidden sex life and predilection for animals, you wonder how he never knew anything One can only hope that Coster and Ms Z find a new normal and peace and everyone learns to take their jobs more seriously See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's assurance an inquiry into the Tom Phillips saga is important for the public, but also his children. Phillips was on the run with his kids for nearly four years, ending only when he died in September in a Police shootout.

The Government is blasting the secondary teachers union for calling a strike. Post Primary Teachers' Association members will put down the tools next Wednesday, rejecting a three-percent pay increase over three years. Tens of thousands of healthcare workers are also preparing to walk off the job on two separate days next month. Public Service Minister Judith Collins told Mike Hosking it seems the union spent more time on its marketing, than it did at the bargaining table. She's urging teachers to stop using kids as political footballs and get a union that actually cares about them. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's Bradbury Group with host Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury, a full-on political rollercoaster - a recession biting harder than a cold southerly, 28,000 jobs gone, and 70,000 Kiwis fleeing to Australia, while food prices rocket past wages. The panel of Claudette Hauiti, Barbara Edmonds, Simon Wilson, and Dita De Boni tear into voter suppression laws that even Judith Collins finds dodgy, Māori rights being stripped from 23 laws, and a “tiny win” ending card surcharges sometime next year. Expect sharp critiques of austerity, corporate welfare, and banks that never pay their fair share. As well as that, Moana Maniapoto is this week's special guest, talking about her recent Winston Peters interview, and we have the War on News. Powered by Waatea News.
