A war of words has erupted between the Green Party and NZ First this week. It comes after photos circulated on social from a private Instagram account belonging to Green MP Benjamin Doyle. The account, named ‘biblebeltbussy’, also featured photos of their child, including one with ‘bussy’ in the caption. The term originated as a euphuism for a man’s anus, and can be used colloquially by some in the gay community, but Doyle’s usage of it has sparked accusations of vulgarity and being inappropriate. That was amplified by Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, who said on social media that Doyle should answer for the posts and that if “Police want to investigate, they can”. The Green Party has said that Doyle has received death threats as a result and have called for the Prime Minister to intervene. So does this suggest a changing battleground for politics, with family issues and social media activists taking centre stage? Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Victoria University of Wellington politics professor Lara Greaves to discuss a different type of political scandal.

A brainchild of the previous Labour Government, the Healthy School Lunches Programme provides free lunches to about 242,000 students in greatest need. Since its initial launch in 2019, the programme has often been a target by politicians and commentators over the cost involved in the scheme. It’s now under the supervision of associate education minister David Seymour, and a cheaper alternative to it launched this year. It alone has faced a myriad of issues, notably incidents of unappetising, late or absent food deliveries, and a more serious case of one child suffering second-degree burns from a hot lunch. As a result, hundreds of meals have been left uneaten – and now, one company contracted to deliver the food has gone into liquidation. So why are free school lunches such a source of controversy – and can the Government get past the negative headlines around them? Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Victoria University of Wellington politics professor Dr Lara Greaves to discuss why there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

A massive wakeup call or a hatchet job? Associate professor of politics Lara Greaves breaks down the inquiry into Manurewa Marae and the data collection.
On July 26th 1984, David Lange was sworn in as the 32nd Prime Minister of New Zealand. His ascension into the country's top job came after Robert Muldoon's infamous snap election ended his nine years in power. Best remembered for enshrining New Zealand's nuclear free status, Lange also oversaw controversial economic policies that ultimately divided his caucus, and saw his time on the ninth floor only last five years. With this Ruby Jubilee prompting reflections on Lange's leadership and the legacy of the fourth Labour government, today on The Front Page we're joined by one of the few journalists who was there at the time and is still working today, Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent, Barry Soper, and Victoria University of Wellington politics professor Lara Greaves.

She earned herself an international reputation as a "rock star" politician but today, Jacinda Ardern's leaving that behind as she gives her valedictory speech. For more than five years, she was the most popular prime minister in the polls. But as opposition to Covid-19 mandates grew, the response to her signature "be kind" brand became increasingly marred by misogyny and vitriol. She's now revealed her first steps outside the corridors of power, as Special Envoy for the Christchurch Call and on the board of Prince William's Earthshot Prize. Political scientists, Victoria University of Wellington associate professor Dr Lara Greaves, and University of Canterbury Professor Bronwyn Hayward spoke to Corin Dann.
The appointment of Chris Hipkins as prime minister may mark a shift from the politics of his predecessor Jacinda Ardern.

Auckland has spoken and Wayne Brown has been voted its next mayor. The new local body leader surged into office with a fifty-four-thousand vote lead over his nearest rival, Efeso Collins. It comes amidst a "blue-wave" around the country, with Labour and Green aligned candidates struggling for votes. The question is, how much of a collective voice is it when only about thirty percent of people are voting? University of Auckland New Zealand politics senior lecturer Lara Greaves spoke to Kim Hill.
The National Party remains the most preferred party in the latest One News Kantar public poll but Labour has taken a nibble out of their advantage. The poll figures show National remains unchanged on 37 percent support while Labour is up one, to 34 percent. There's also little change among the support parties, with ACT and the Greens both at 9 percent. Under the TVNZ-commissioned poll figures, National and ACT could form a government, sharing 61 of the 120 seats in the house. For analysis, University of Auckland senior political lecturer Dr Lara Greaves, and also by Brigitte Morten - a director with law firm Franks & Ogilvie and a former senior ministerial advisor for the previous National-led government, spoke to Corin Dann.
This week on the Tuesday Wire Joel Rindelaub joined Casper and Christina in studio to talk science news for the Dear Science segment. Casper spoke to Dr Shane Reti from the National party, as he does each week, this time discussing engagement in local body elections as well as the independent electoral review now under consultation.

Newly elected Tauranga MP Sam Uffindell came under scrutiny last month after Stuff revealed he had been involved in a serious assault on a 13-year-old boy when he was a student at King's College. Later, his female flatmate from when he was attending Otago University came forward with allegations of threatening and abusive behaviour. Uffindell was suspended from caucus while an independent inquiry by Maria Dew KC took place. On Monday, National announced the findings of the investigation: aside from the King's College incident, the other bullying allegations were unsubstantiated. For her analysis on the affair and how it was handled by National, Christina spoke to political commentator Dr Lara Greaves.
While Gaurav Sharma remains in parliament, he has the platform to create ongoing headaches for Labour.

Eyes are turning to Tauranga now that the Electoral Commission has revealed the names of the candidates standing in the coming by-election. Winston Peters is not on the ballot and neither is the Māori Party, which says it will not be standing a candidate because of what it says are racial safety concerns. But Tauranga is also the general electorate in Aotearoa with the longest run of having Māori parliamentary representation, for 28 of the past thirty years.
