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.

We are less than three months away from the election, but both sides of the political spectrum remain incredibly close. National and Act have a slight edge over Labour, Greens and Te Pāti Māori, but with the election currently looking like it could come down to only one or two seats, our politicians seem to be striking a firm push for the middle ground. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has said a Labour government he leads will never introduce a wealth tax, while National has wheeled out familiar policies around improving roads and tackling crime. But where are the big picture, bold policies that could push one party ahead of the other – and why do our current crop of politicians seem so focused on electability over bold vision?

Election year drama is starting already. We have Victoria University political scientist Dr Lara Greaves on to lift the lid on what's going on after Meka Whaitiri, a Labour minister outside cabinet, jumped ship. A recession might be looming, but it seems it's still an OK time to look for a new job. The US has hit its debt ceiling and is getting close to running out of money. Infometrics' Brad Olsen is on to explain more. Plus it's been used before and the diamonds are controversial; the crown Camilla will have placed on her head at the coronation.
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.
Posie Parker's brief but controversial visit to New Zealand got our politicians talking. Whether defending free speech and ‘white cis men' or standing up for one of the marginalised groups in this country, politicians from all sides of the spectrum weighed in on her visit. But as our politicians take sides, are they at risk of bringing overseas ‘culture wars' to Aotearoa – and are they willing to deepen divisions in an already fractured country, in exchange for a few votes at the election? Today, Dr Lara Greaves, associate professor of politics at Victoria University of Wellington, is with Damien to discuss battles our politicians are choosing to fight.

The appointment of Chris Hipkins as prime minister may mark a shift from the politics of his predecessor Jacinda Ardern. Hipkins will be officially sworn in as prime minister on Wednesday and will hold his first cabinet meeting. He was unanimously voted to the position by his Labour colleagues. Former senior advisor to the previous National-led government Brigitte Morten and Auckland University senior lecturer in politics Dr Lara Greaves spoke to Corin Dann.

She plays Mitzi, a concert pianist who's put her artistic ambition aside to raise a family, and is struggling to play a supporting role to her computer genius husband. Michelle explains why she was attracted to the role, and how her work in Dawson's Creek as a teenager set her up for Hollywood success. On Thursday, the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her shock resignation. We discuss with BBC Diplomatic Correspondent James Lansdale, former Prime Minister Helen Clark and the political scientist Lara Greaves from Auckland University.

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.

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.

Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick has ruled herself out from running for the party's co-leadership. In a statement posted to Facebook, Swarbrick said there had been a lot of speculation in recent days since co-leader James Shaw was ousted from the position at the Greens' annual conference. "What happened at our AGM was unprecedented and I, like all of our Green MPs, wanted to respect the process and take time to reflect and listen. That reflection will continue in the coming days and weeks. "I am not in the running for the Co-Leadership. Thank you to all of the lovely and kind people who've expressed their confidence in me. I will continue my work as Auckland Central's MP, in my Parliamentary portfolios and on Finance and Expenditure committee." Earlier today Shaw confirmed he would contest the leadership, saying he was quietly confident of being re-elected. "I am in it to win it," Shaw told reporters saying he had spoken to party members and family and had decided to stand again as Green Party co-leader. Shaw made the announcement after failing to get the 75 per cent votes of delegates at the party's online annual meeting at the weekend to be reconfirmed in the role. Co-leader Marama Davidson was reconfirmed by delegates. This opens up the co-leadership role this week to challengers. Pundits have speculated that Swarbrick may have a tilt for the co-leadership given her popularity. "If the media wants to talk leadership, let's talk about it," Swarbrick said today. "We'll find it in the young people putting their futures on the line for the climate movement. We'll find it on union pickets for fair pay and conditions. We find it in our classrooms with our teachers, in our hospitals with the nurses and midwives and health workers who deserve healthy conditions and quality wages. "Those are the leaders who need our backing and that is where our energy is needed to change the politics - and the power dynamics - of this country and this world."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A political commentator says one of the best candidates for the National Party leadership is being overlooked. Dr Shane Reti is just hours into his role as interim leader of the National Party after taking over from Judith Collins, who lost her job and the confidence of the caucus, after 499 days as opposition leader. The party will elect a new leader next week. Currently the three expected to run are Simon Bridges, Mark Mitchell and Christopher Luxon. Chris Bishop has also been suggested as a contender. Political commentator Lara Greaves told Morning Report Reti could be a good choice but there isn't much attention on him. "He's incredibly experienced. He's been in parliament for seven years, he's been an assistant professor at Harvard, which is incredibly competitive in heart, he's been a rural GP for 17 years, he's been literally vaccinating people up north, he's also somehow registered as some kind of chartered accountant. So, we've got like a ton of qualifications and experience. "I think, fundamentally, our politics and the way that our politics run and this goes back to Professor Raymond Mill's idea of the presidentialisation of New Zealand politics, that we think of it as like a two horse race, we need this kind of bolshy strong, assertive leader." Greaves said that could be the area where Reti falls down, despite having qualifications and what she called a "real streak of conservatism". "So, I think fundamentally the way that our politics works, the most qualified candidate and the candidate with the expertise for the current crisis is being overlooked."
Judith Collins says history will judge her kindly, for her decision to demote Simon Bridges. Collins was removed from the leadership yesterday -- after her surprise decision to demote Bridges the night before. She says she was acting on a complaint from a female caucus colleague about comments Bridges made in that colleague's presence five years ago. Speaking exclusively to the Mike Hosking Breakfast, Collins says it was an inappropriate action, by a person in a position of power. She says in the fullness of time, people will see she did the right thing for the party, knowing there would be consequences for her. Auckland University political commentator Lara Greaves told Kate Hawkesby opinion is likely to be divided. She says the culture of Parliament isn't comfortable for women and for many people, but on the scale of what could have been, this seems to be on the minor side. LISTEN ABOVE

The response to the 2021 budget is testament to the fact that you can't please everyone. Changes to benefits and investment in Maori housing are being welcomed in some quarters - while others say Labour has missed a chance to do more for the most vulnerable in New Zealand society. At the same time, plans are being laid for a social insurance scheme that will make payments to people who lose their jobs. Is it a radical idea that will protect workers from upheavals, or an expensive piece of middle-class welfare? There are complaints from business that they've been left in the cold in the midst of the Covid-19 recovery. Kirk Hope is the chief executive of Business NZ, Dr Lara Greaves is a political scientist at the University of Auckland, and Janet McAllister is from the Child Poverty Action Group.

The Government will abolish a law that allows local referendums to veto decisions by councils to establish Māori wards.The move will be made in time for the 2022 local body elections, and means decisions made by nine councils to establish Māori wards for that election cannot be overturned by local voters.The councils are the Kaipara District Council, Gisborne District Council, New Plymouth District Council, Northland Regional Council, Ruapehu District Council, South Taranaki District Council, Taupo District Council, Tauranga District Council, and Whangarei District Council.The only way Māori wards will not be established for 2022 in those areas is if the council itself resolves to undo its decision.Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta made the announcement in New Plymouth this afternoon, where the issue has been divisive.Since 2002, when the law was changed allowing councils to establish Māori wards, 24 councils have attempted to establish them but only two had been successful – Waikato Regional Council and Wairoa District Council. (The Bay of Plenty Regional Council has Maori wards set up under special legislation).Five per cent of electors can petition for a binding referendum on whether or not the council's decision stands.Mahuta said the current system had a different set of rules for establishing Māori and general wards "and that uneven playing field needs to change"."The process of establishing a ward should be the same for both Māori and general wards. These are decisions for democratically elected councils, who are accountable to the public every three years."Polls have proven to be an almost insurmountable barrier to councils trying to improve the democratic representation of Māori interests. This process is fundamentally unfair to Māori."She said increasing Māori representation was essential to ensuring equity in representation and to provide a Māori voice in local decision-making."It will also lead to greater Māori participation in the resource management process," Mahuta said."We know the importance of diversity around the council table and, as part of the Government's commitment to working to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we need to do our part to enable councils to achieve fair representation."Like in Parliamentary elections, specific Māori seats can assist with this."Legislative reform to Māori wards processes would be passed in two stages over the next three years, she said.The first stage would make immediate changes to establish transitional measures for the 2022 local elections.The second stage would develop a permanent mechanism for local authorities to consider the establishment of Māori wards and constituencies.A public meeting was held in Tauranga last Friday to debate the decision establishing a Māori ward on the city council. It brought together opponents, including former National leader Don Brash speaking for Hobson's Pledge, and leading supporters of the wards, such as Buddy Mikaere, a former director of the Waitangi Tribunal.Three councils have already resolved to hold a poll alongside the 2022 election, the Far North District Council, Opotiki District Council and Hawkes Bay District Council. Those polls will not now go ahead and the Māori wards will not be established – unless those councils resolve to do so.The new legislation will extend the deadline for councils to consider Māori wards for the 2022 elections to May 21, this year.text by Audrey Young, NZ Herald
