A major overhaul of social housing will see costs for renters going up. From next April, 30 percent state tenants' income will go into rent - up from 25 percent, about $31 dollars more a week. That'll be re-invested into increasing the Accommodation Supplement. Housing Minister Chris Bishop says the Government wants to reduce social housing costs, saying it's not getting bang for buck on what it spends.

Adam Boulton, former Political Editor of Sky News and now a Times Radio presenter, discusses the political turbulence surrounding Keir Starmer's position and the state of news coverage after local election results appeared to confirm the end of our old binary politics. We explore whether the rise of multi‑party politics affects ‘due impartiality' and the substance and depth of broadcast coverage. We reflect on what's working, what isn't, and what might come next for political journalism: the state of public debate, whether GB News should have its licence revoked, and the changing nature of political communication and engagement.

Dan Bloom, Political Editor, POLITICO, discusses the latest on Keir Starmer's future as pressure mounts on the British Prime Minister to resign.

It's unclear if the Australian Government's latest tax breaks for workers will make much of a difference. The Labor Government's raising taxes on investment properties and some trust funds to pay for a $250 tax break. It will apply to 13 million Australians and come into effect in 2028. 9News Chief Political Editor Charles Croucher told Mike Hosking it's on top of similar tax breaks coming this year and next year. He says it's giving some relief to that tax-bracket but it's a pittance compared to current inflation and interest rates. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One Nation has just made history by securing its first-ever federal lower house seat. With Pauline Hanson eyeing the Lodge, the message to Canberra is loud and clear: Australians are fed up. But is this a genuine endorsement of hard-right policies, or a protest against the cost-of-living crisis and housing stress? Today, we’re joined by The New Daily’s Political Editor Amy Remeikis to unpack whether the old 'blue vs red' era of Australian politics is officially over. Plus, we speak with Charlotte Mortlock, founder of Something Better Australia, about her grassroots mission to build a new political force that moves beyond the fringe.

There's concerns about what the Government's latest pre-Budget announcement means for students. Winston Peters told Newstalk ZB on Friday that they'd get rid of the final free year of tertiary education, and Finance Minister Nicola Willis has confirmed it. She says they will have more to say on it in due course. NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says it's likely the Government isn't thrilled with Peters leaking these details - and it wasn't pre-authorised by Willis or anyone else.

The assembly election results have sharply changed the political landscape in India, with the BJP set to form a government on its own for the first time in West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee, the three-term chief minister often spoken of as the ‘real' Opposition leader to the BJP, has ended up losing her own seat. In Tamil Nadu, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) a two-year-old political start-up, has emerged as the single largest party, leaving both the Dravidian behemoths, DMK and the AIADMK, in the dust. TVK chief and actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay is expected to become the next Chief Minister, though questions remain about government formation. While the Congress-led UDF returned to power in Kerala, the NDA retained power in Assam and Puducherry. How do we read these mandates? What do the outcomes mean for the BJP, for the Opposition, and the Indian polity as a whole? Guest: Anand Mishra, Political Editor, Frontline.

Controversial legislation heads to the Seanad on Wednesday, on a topic which has already triggered rancorous debates in the Dáil and even Supreme Court challenges. For more we speak to Pat Leahy, Political Editor with the Irish Times.

TVNZ's Maiki Sherman's had her access to Parliament suspended for five days, after an altercation with an MP. The decision comes after National complained to TVNZ, alleging Sherman aggressively banged on party whip Stuart Smith's office door for several minutes. TVNZ says it has a different view of events. Newstalk ZB's senior political correspondent Barry Soper the issue could lead to tighter rules for all reporters. "I think what you'll find as a result of all this is that Speaker Gerry Brownlee, he'll be tightening the rules yet again and just explaining to the journalists that you don't chase MPs around Parliament." The suspension's unrelated to claims Sherman lobbed a homophobic slur at another journalist at drinks in Nicola Willis' office last year.

There is probably no one better than Belfast man, Sam McBride to discuss the possibility of unification. His recent book, For and Against a United Ireland was one of the big influences on this series. He is the Northern Ireland Editor of the Belfast Telegraph and the Sunday Independent newspapers. He also writes on Northern Ireland for The Economist. He is a former Political Editor of the Belfast News Letter and has made a BBC film about the Northern Bank robbery. He is author of The Sunday Times bestseller Burned: The Inside Story of the 'Cash-for-Ash' Scandal and Northern Ireland's Secretive New Elite and is a regular broadcaster. In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It's time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is to be any real debate on the possibility of a united Ireland. Notre Dame University are also running a major research project investigating the constitutional future of Ireland called ARINS (Analysing and Researching Ireland North and South) that probs these questions.   This limited series in an answer to this work and looks to further the conversation amongst ordinary young people in the south. Shockingly, only 22% of southerners have made repeat trips north of the border so what do we really know about life in the North? What would a United Ireland look like? Is it something we really want? What does a modern Ireland for all look like? What are the concessions we would have to make and can we make them? This series looks to engage with the question of the North beyond the romantic notions ask practical questions of the south. How do we go about building a united Ireland for all?

Australia's Prime Minister will address the nation tonight outlining how Australians can help with the fuel crisis. It's understood Anthony Albanese will urge people to save fuel for industries that most need it. It's the first time an Australian Prime Minister has delivered a national address since Scott Morrison did during Covid-19 in March 2020. Australian correspondent Charles Croucher says the timing is strategic. "This is an attempt to put everyone on the same page, before we go into that Easter long weekend and then school holidays over here. You kind of lose the audience if you're the PM."
