‘Tis the season for the annual swapping of gifts between the Prime Minister and broadcaster Mike Hosking. For Prime Minister Christopher Luxon the festive season has begun with meal tray tables bearing the longtime broadcaster's face, after the pair exchanged gifts in a Christmas tradition that dates back several years. As for Hosking, he'll leave the Newstalk ZB studio today with a bespoke calendar with a range of dates highlighted, from sports events to Parliament's Question Time and random world elections. “I get a lot of unsolicited advice when I'm in Parliament during question time. So, I've marked out in green all the times that you can give me that unsolicited advice,” Luxon said. “And then the other two big interests in your life are obviously F1 and the Warriors games, so they're all mapped out there on the planner. And then sometimes you love to give a bit of esoteric advice to the listeners around sort of the Cameroonian election that might be taking place. So, down this side, I've just given you a list of random world elections.” Luxon also gave the broadcaster two wine glass rubber lanyards, briefly alarming Hosking as he unwrapped his gift, which was “only for you and [wife] Kate”, Luxon said. “Oh my Lord, what is it?” Hosking replied before the Prime Minister revealed the lanyards were bought at Ikea after the Swedish giant opened its first New Zealand store in Auckland yesterday.

Photo / Cameron Pitney “I was the first person in the country to make a physical purchase in the store at Ikea. And I bought Mike ... wine glass lanyard[s], because as he ponders his estate ... him and Kate go wandering around and they often have a glass of wine in hand. “As you've got older, I don't want you to trip and fall, because that'd be a real problem.” You can listen here to the exchange. The tray tables were inspired by a comment Luxon made this year about him and wife Amanda eating dinner on their laps while watching Netflix. “Stop eating dinner on your knee, it's not healthy”, Hosking scolded the Prime Minister. “All I ask of you when you're sitting with that on your lap looking at me … is not to spill your food.” The Prime Minister described the trays as having “lovely wood surrounds” and the image of Hosking as being “very wistful”. “It's ponderous and thoughtful,” Hosking said. “The question I'm asking you with my eyes is, ‘Do you really think you'll win the election next year?'” The Government has been struggling in the polls as economic challenges continue, with Luxon himself the subject of ongoing speculation that his leadership may face a challenge from within his own party. But the Prime Minister's response was to the point. “Oh hell yeah, don't you worry about that.” ‘The Complete Guide to Surviving a Mike Hosking Interview' Last year, after Luxon's first full year in the top job, Hosking gave the Prime Minister a gift he described as “one of one” and a “prototype”. It was a book titled “The Complete Guide to Surviving a Mike Hosking Interview”, which Luxon described as “genius”. Luxon gave Hosking a Christmas card with a family photo on it and some “furikake seasoning,” a Japanese seasoning typically made with toasted sesame seeds and nori. “People like me, who are men of the people, just use salt, I mean, I come from a very humble background,” Luxon said. “This is what really posh people do.” “Absolutely love it,” Hosking said in response to the gift.

Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern also exchanged gifts with Hosking during her time leading the country. This included in 2018 a framed photo given to Hosking of the pair riding Lime scooters together and, in exchange, a T-shirt with a picture of Hosking holding a vacuum cleaner. Broadcaster Mike Hosking proudly wearing his Christmas gift from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern - a T-shirt immortalising a verbal stoush between the pair. Photo / Supplied The following year Ardern – who in 2021 would cancel her regular weekly interview on the Mike Hosking Breakfast – gave the broadcaster a T-shirt showing the pair mid-verbal stoush and with the slogan “I heart Tuesdays”. “This could go wrong,” Hosking then said as he prepared to give Ardern her gift, a miniature “one-off Mike Hosking vacuum cleaner”. “And I don't want you to think it's a sexist gift either because … no one loves to vacuum more than me.” Broadcaster Mike Hosking gifts Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern a miniature vacuum cleaner in their annual gift exchange in 2019. In 2020, Ardern pranked Hosking by gifting him a Labour billboard featuring the ZB host alongside the Prime Minister herself, a present she said Hosking will grow to love as the years roll on. “Do you want me on board? Have you seen my magnetism as a vote-getter?” Hosking joked. Ardern then unwrapped two presents from Hosking, one for daughter Neve and one for herself. Hosking gave Neve a Mickey Mouse soft toy with Neve's name engraved before pranking Ardern back with his own gift to her, a series of face masks with his face printed on the front. “When I first opened it, I briefly worried it was a g-string,” Ardern said.

The days of regional councils could soon be over. It's understood the Government will announce a proposal for a local government shake-up later this afternoon. It comes after Prime Minister Christopher Luxon hinted on Sunday that a major reform is coming. Earlier this year, regional development minister and New Zealand First deputy leader Shane Jones told a forum there was "less and less of a justifiable purpose" for keeping regional government once the RMA reforms went through. Which got us thinking about regional councils and their purpose... To help explain that and what today's announcement could be, political reporter Russell Palmer joins me.

Questions around a coup to roll National leader and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon have been swirling. When a first-term PM is already denying leadership moves, things aren't exactly humming. Duncan gets into what's real, what's noise, and why National insiders are quietly asking when, not if, the pressure really lands. Then, he sits down with Qiulae Wong, the brand-new leader of The Opportunity Party. She's a mum of two, comes from the business world, and freely admits she never set out to be a politician. Now, she's aiming to drag TOP to the 5 per cent threshold with a tax package she calls transformative, including land value tax, a citizens' income, and a pitch to break the political mud-wrestling that's turned voters off both Labour and National.

Rumours have been swirling of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon getting rolled by his party. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith denied the rumours saying no one in National's caucus had raised with him the idea of replacing Luxon. In recent polls National has lagged behind Labour with 33% versus 38% in the Talbot Mills/Anacta poll conducted between November 1 and 10. This has fanned the flames of conversation regarding the likelihood of National's re-election next year. Although, Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "essentially you've got Labour on the ropes, whereas you've got, the coalition government headed by National in a much stronger position."

Labour says the Government shouldn't be celebrating record high prisoner numbers. Earlier this week Prime Minister Christopher Luxon declared it was a good thing the prison population was nearing 11 thousand people. The Government is also celebrating a reduction by 38 thousand in the number of victims of violent crime since it came into power. Labour's Duncan Webb told John MacDonald that while locking people up may provide short term relief, it doesn't last. He says they eventually get out and will cause more harm unless they've been rehabilitated. National's Matt Doocey told MacDonald that he disagrees with Webb framing the situation as locking them up, but not fixing anything. He says you can actually do both, and there is a duty to ensure there are rehabilitation programmes for incarcerated individuals. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spoke to Morning Report.

Yesterday in Parliament, something very interesting happened and it's the sort of conversation we've been screaming out for here in the capital. During Question Time, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was pressed on whether the coalition government is working on a new law to prevent people from sleeping in our downtown city centres. Luxon batted it away in the House —wouldn't touch it. But later, minister for Auckland Simeon Brown went further, and his comments should make Wellington sit up and listen. Brown acknowledged the obvious: homelessness is just as serious in Auckland as it is here —maybe worse—but it's not a competition. He confirmed the Government is looking at ways to prevent rough sleeping in CBDs and provide accommodation options for those who need it. That's the combo we've been missing: expectation and support. Not just “move them on,” but “give them somewhere better to go.” Otherwise, they will just keep coming back. And let me be very clear— in my view, this is exactly what Wellington needs right now. Not next year. Not after a working group. Now. Because, friends… this is not just about tidying up the shop window of our city — though that matters —it's about the people themselves. Nobody benefits from sleeping outside convenience stores 24/7. It's unsafe. It's unhealthy. And frankly, it is not the dignity any New Zealander deserves. I've said many times on this programme: I have never personally witnessed a homeless person assaulting anyone. But that doesn't mean the current situation is working. It doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel safe. It keeps people away from our CBD, and it drags down businesses already on their knees. And if we're serious about making Wellington vibrant again — if we want people back in town, shopping, eating, working — then we've got to confront the reality in front of our eyes. National MP Ryan Hamilton is even floating a member's bill that would give police powers to move people on from public places. Labour, of course, called it “banning homelessness.” Heated scenes in Parliament followed. Luxon insists nothing has been discussed at Cabinet — but the conversation alone tells you how serious this has become. Meanwhile, homelessness here in Wellington has surged —up 24 percent according to The Post. That should shock all of us. That's the direction of travel under the current system — more people on the streets, fewer tools to intervene. Yes, there are legitimate questions about rights and freedoms. Community Law rightly points out that people have the right to move and live where they choose. But we already allow police to act on trespass, public nuisance, disorder… the law already intervenes when things get unsafe. The issue here is balance — helping, not punishing — and creating a better alternative so no one has to sleep rough in the first place. Simeon Brown says Auckland is talking to its council. Well — so should we. If Auckland can start planning, why can't Wellington? We cannot keep waiting, hoping it fixes itself. This government stepping up to create real tools — and more importantly, real accommodation — is exactly what Wellington needs. Not later. Now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over recent weeks, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has been busy touring South-East Asia, in the hopes of negotiating various trade deals and securing meetings with other world leaders. In his returning press conference, where he recapped his trip, the Prime Minister focused on the importance of securing a 1-on-1 meeting with US President Donald Trump. For our weekly catch up with the Green Party's Ricardo Menéndez March, Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke to him about the Prime Minister's trip. They also discussed the Green Party's plans for an evidence-based cannabis regulation and whether they would campaign with that policy for next year's election, as well as the new draft school curriculum released by the government, and the subsequent plans to shrink the teaching council. But first, they discussed whether Luxon's trip to South-East Asia was a success.

The government has recently announced that 18-to-19-year-olds whose parents earn $65,528 annually will no longer be eligible for Jobseeker Support. The Government estimates that 4300 young people would become ineligible under this new policy. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says these changes to Jobseeker Support eligibility are “tough love” and that he did not want the government to “send a message to young people” that 18-to-19-year-olds could “just drift into welfare and that's it”. For our weekly catchup with the ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about this topic. They also discussed the government saying they would amend the Policing Act to guarantee police have the power to collect intelligence through means of photographing and videoing potential perpetrators.

Last week, Green Party co-leader, Chlöe Swarbrick, was kicked out of Parliament for a week for refusing to withdraw her comments calling for MPs to get “a spine”.  Her comments came during a debate on recognising Palestine as a state. She also urged MPs to support her member's bill, which would sanction Israel for its war crimes in Gaza. This comes as Australia, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom have indicated their own plans to recognise a Palestinian state. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the media last week that “a two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza.” Despite stating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost the plot”, our own Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has refused to commit to recognising a Palestinian state.
