A political commentator thinks the incoming government could have a 'standoff mentality,' based on coalition talks.  Christopher Luxon and David Seymour are back in the capital, and it's thought that Winston Peters will join them today.  The role of Deputy Prime Minister has not yet been announced but Nicola Willis has ruled herself out.  Political Commentator and former United Future leader Peter Dunne told Mike Hosking that we're getting an insight into how the government might function when it's finally formed.  He says if it's seen to be a cumbersome, awkward arrangement, that's a long-term problem for the government.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The soon-to-be coalition partners are meeting for the first time today, but there's no end in sight to negotiations.   New Zealand First leader Winston Peters didn't show up for an anticipated meeting with National and ACT in Wellington yesterday.   ACT's David Seymour confirms he flew back to Auckland last night, reportedly also with National leader Christopher Luxon.  Former United Future Leader Peter Dunne told Kate Hawkesby that their rapid return to Auckland suggests negotiations are very much being done on Peters' terms.  He that there's a perception growing that Christopher Luxon's earlier confidence may have been misplaced.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Electoral Commission is looking to see whether discrepancies at three polling places are isolated or more widespread.  It's launched a check of all voting place results after our newsroom picked up errors at two polling places at Port Waikato, and one polling place in Ilam.  More than 500 votes at one polling place were wrongly assigned to the Leighton Baker Party, rather than National.  Political commentator and former United Future Leader Peter Dunne told Kate Hawkesby that it's one of several issues that will need to be addressed when the electoral process is reviewed at select committee.  He says the commission also needs to answer questions about the time it took to count the votes, and whether there were enough polling places on election day.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join me on a profound journey as I share my personal evolution as a 3/5 Splenic Projector with a deep dive into the pivotal moments that expanded my worldview. From living across cultures to recognizing the privileges afforded to me, I explore the historical context of separation and the pressing need to bring masculine and feminine energies into harmony. This video isn't just a reflection but a heartfelt apology and a call to action for all of us to acknowledge our shared roots, confront the shadows within, and foster unity in every aspect of life. It's a time of significant change, and as Projector women, there's a unique role for you in this global shift toward balancing energies for a more equitable and peaceful world.

After the 2014 election, Peter Dunne got a phone call from Prime Minister John Key to say National wouldn't need the support of United Future to form a Government. The same call was made to the Act and Māori parties, which had also signed confidence and supply agreements after the 2011 election. Key invited all three parties to stay in the tent, if they wanted, but said there wouldn't be any policy concessions or negotiations. They took the deal. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” Dunne said, in an interview for interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast.“About 10 days later, the specials came in and National had lost a couple of seats, and its outright majority, and suddenly realised they had a problem”. Key and his team came back to the three parties and asked to renegotiate the newly-signed confidence and supply agreements into a more substantial and specific arrangement.Dunne, and the others, refused: “I said, no, we've got a signed piece of paper here”. “National, ended up in the worst of all worlds. It had supply partners they hadn't conceded anything to. All it was getting from us was confidence and supply. Everything else had to be negotiated case by case”.“If they'd been a little less impatient, and waited till the specials they could have got better deals”.This memory might be a factor in why National and New Zealand First have been holding out for the final vote count. The numbers might shift around in unpredictable ways. Once the special votes are reported, Dunne thinks a Government could form quite quickly. He said it was partly Christopher Luxon's leadership style. But also because Parliament has to sit by mid-December, and the National won't want that to happen under a caretaker government. The National leader's message, that he would not provide blow-by-blow commentary on the negotiations, was more directed at Winston Peters than at the media. “I thought he was also sending a pretty clear warning to Act and New Zealand First: don't you either.” “Because, if you look at New Zealand First's track record, they like to control negotiations, they like to be the ones that sort of indicate where things are at”.It was an “unedifying spectacle” in 1996 and 2017 when Jim Bolger and Jacinda Ardern found out they would be Prime Minister, only when Peters announced it on live television. “The bronze medal winner shouldn't tell the gold and silver medals who they are. I think Luxon is trying to guard against all that sort of thing happening again”. Listen to the rest of the interview for more insight into negotiating a coalition.*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

Former United Future Leader Peter Dunne says the Meka Whaitiri saga has exposed the failures of the waka-jumping ban. Dunne, who defected from Labour himself in 1994, told Mike Hosking the legislation clearly doesn't work and needs to be repealed. “What it shows is the complete nonsensical nature of the waka-jumping legislation, because it's never been effectively triggered, even when there's clear-cut cases.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Legal experts say that while lowering the voting age at general elections might be politically challenging, New Zealand could see a differential voting system with 16-year-olds able to vote at local body level as a ”trial” first. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she personally wants to see the voting age lowered for the first time in nearly 50 years and announced Parliament will debate the issue before the middle of next year. It comes after on Monday the Supreme Court declared the current voting age of 18 was inconsistent with the Bill of Rights, namely the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of age, and that these inconsistencies have not been justified. Amending the law for the general election requires the support of a referendum or super-majority of 75 per cent in Parliament, meaning with National and Act currently opposed change appears unlikely. But changing the age for local elections only requires a simple 50 per cent majority, which legal experts say could be included in the same bill and with Government support could offer a “trial” run. The Supreme Court ruling came after a case brought by the advocacy group Make It 16, which was set up in 2019 amid the school strikes for climate initially to find an avenue to give young people more of a say. “This is history,” said co-director Caeden Tipler outside court after today's decision. Tipler said that they are confident the law will change. “Although we're celebrating we still have a lot of mahi to do.” The ruling has triggered a process, set up under a new law passed in August, whereby the Government is required to respond to such Bill of Rights Act declarations and Parliament to debate them within six months. The voting age for general elections is “entrenched” under the Electoral Act, meaning any change would need the support of 75 per cent of MPs or be endorsed in a national referendum. Consequently, Ardern said as part of its response to the decision Cabinet had decided to draft a piece of legislation with a proposal to lower the age of voting to 16 for the whole of Parliament to consider. She anticipated it would be before the House before the middle of next year. The super-majority rule only kicks in at the Committee of the whole House stage, after the second reading, meaning it would also go through select committee and public submissions. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern during a post-Cabinet press conference in the Beehive theatrette. Photo / Mark Mitchell Whatever the ultimate decision, it would not take effect before next year's election, Ardern said. “What I can say is that on this kind of matter, I think we should remove the politics, we should put it to Parliament, and we should let every MP have their say.” Ardern said Labour had not decided as a caucus how it would vote but confirmed she supported lowering the voting age. “For me, it is alignment around some of the responsibilities and rights that are reapportioned at these different ages.” She said people were allowed to legally engage in activities across 16, 17 and 18. “There isn't one cut-off point that you can say in law New Zealand treated me as an adult, and that's why I think it's been the subject of much debate.” National Party justice spokesman Paul Goldsmith, however, was unequivocal in his opposition to lowering the voting age. “We don't agree with the conclusion that the voting age which has been in place for half a century is suddenly unjustified,” he said. Act Party leader David Seymour was also very quick to rule out supporting any change. There would always need to be an age threshold to voting and to say not having it at 16 was inconsistent with the Bill of Rights was “illogical”, Seymour said. Green Party electoral reform spokeswoman Golriz Ghahraman has long been an advocate of lowering the voting age and included it in her Strengthening Democracy Member's Bill, which was voted down at first reading in September. She said the court had found Parliament had “for decades been in breach of young people's basic human rights”. “Now is the time to do what's right and strengthen our democracy to include the voices of 16 and 17-year-olds.” Ghahraman said a change could occur immediately by picking up the parts of her members' bill, including amending the entrenching provision, and it could be done in time for the 2023 election. She said other democracies have either already extended voting rights to 16 and 17-year-olds or are currently changing their laws. “Complying with the Supreme Court's call would keep New Zealand's democracy among the most modern and inclusive. “Not only would this change create a more representative democracy, but it would also provide more opportunities to engage young people in politics while they're at school.” The voting age in New Zealand was lowered from 21 to 20 in 1969, and then to 18 in 1974. At each stage, it had the full support of Parliament and was in line with legislative changes across the globe. Currently, only a small - but growing - group of countries allow voting under the age of 18, including Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Austria and Malta from 16 and older. In Scotland and Wales, 16-year-olds can vote in local but not the UK general elections. An independent panel is currently reviewing the Electoral Act and issues such as the voter age, donations, 5 per cent party threshold and length of parliamentary terms. It is expected to issue recommendations in May and a final report by the end of next year University of Otago law professor Andrew Geddis, who is one of the panellists, said today's decision put the onus on Parliament to provide justifications for keeping the voting age at 18. “But what the court also said was, we don't discount that there could be good reasons for having it at 18, the Crown just hasn't told us what they are.” He said while voting at the national level required a 75 per cent super-majority, amending the Local Electoral Act didn't. This meant there could be a different voting age of 18 at national elections and something different for local elections, which some other countries have adopted. “Then you could see what 16-year-olds or 17-year-olds do when they actually do get the vote in a way that's perhaps less challenging.” Ardern said given they'd only received the decision today having a separate age for local elections was “one of the issues that need to be worked through”. Lawyer Graeme Edgeler, who worked on Make It 16′s case, said while it was a “good win” realistically passing a law to lower the voting age before next year's general election would be too rushed, regardless of parliamentary support. But a vote to reduce the voting age for local elections, perhaps as a trial first, is something that they could do, and something that the Government has already had advice on from the local government review. “That might be something that they're in a position to progress in time for the 2025 local elections.” Lowering the voting age would also open up questions about other rights and responsibilities, including jury duty, which is based on the electoral roll. Edgeler said the age for that could be lower, but the law could also be amended to keep it at 18. - Michael Neilson, NZHSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Thursday Friends! We are 2 days away for Christmas. I am looking forward to spending time with family and making more memories. I am excited to introduce you to my next guest. He is a very talented artist, he has paved his own way as a musician and not getting tied up in any specific label as an artist. Please welcome Michael Emenau. From his first professional gig at the age 16 drumming in a country band to performing at with a symphony orchestra at Carnegie Hall four years later, the career of Michael Emenau has been as prolific as it has been varied.  After completing a degree in classical percussion from McGIll University Michael played for multiple orchestras. Feeling confined he switched his focus over to jazz vibraphone, both of these experiences provided the skills to perform a wide range of musical genres, to date he has recorded vibraphone on over 200 albums. In the early 90's he moved to Tokyo and immersed himself into the acid jazz and EDM scene becoming a member of the weekly UFO's (United Future organisation) live/DJ all night music battles at Club Yellow. He went on to record on 5 of UFO's albums including the platinum selling “Red Hot and Blue”.In the late 90's Michael relocated to San Francisco where his musical interests cracked wide open—producing 3 albums with the Middle Eastern electronic group LUMIN; was a founding member of The Jazz Mafia which incorporated live looping and sampling into small and large jazz ensembles; fronting an Afro-Cuban dance band while also releasing solo jazzy downtempo music with Six Degrees Records and Hearts of Space.In 2005 Michael and his family relocated to Paris where he started a multi-year project unearthing, re-arranging, recording and performing the music of Henry Purcell with Cirque du Soleil star vocalist Elise Velle. This project spilled over to writing a musical, Divine Intervention--an interpretation of the demi-god Dionysus and his actual cultural influence on Classical composers and authors culminating in a 2-week run at the Nova Scotia Fringe Festival.Michael, his family and his beagle currently reside in Montreal where he is a world-touring member of the Grammy nominated “Les Triplettes de Bellville” Cine-Concerts series. He co-leads the Canadian Folk Music Awards nominated “ensemble of the year 2020” SUSSEX, which interweaves folk, ragtime, and roots music.Since the onset of Covid Michael has gone back to the studio and released 3 albums of Lofi Hip-Hop instrumental. The first of which is based on the music of Eric Satie and streamed over a half million times on Spotify.

On the Weekend Panel this morning are the media commentator Josie Pagani and the former leader of United Future, Peter Dunne. They discuss the worth of daylight saving, homelessness in New Zealand, and the Covid vaccine rollout. 

As we slide into the Easter weekend, we mustn’t forget clocks go back an hour on Sunday. There goes the long lighter days, the BBQ’s and eating outside, the late night warm walks, as we head into the cooler months and darker evenings.It’s controversial daylight saving, for many reasons. I like when it changes back personally, as an early shift worker who gets up in the dark anyway, it just means it’s darker earlier at night when we go to bed.So it feels like night time comes around quicker. Long summer nights make it hard for early shift workers to tootle off to bed, you kind of feel cheated. Like you’re missing out on stuff. It’s also good for parents of small children too, the darker nights – in terms of settling littlies into bed and not having to worry about black out blinds or convincing them it’s night time when the sun’s still shining outside.It is of course an extended daylight savings we get these days though, former United Future leader Peter Dunne ran a successful campaign to have it extended by three weeks, back in 2007.So we now have six months of the year on ordinary time, six months of the year on daylight saving time. Peter Dunne says extending daylight saving was down to public demand – people enjoyed having longer days in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoors and the extra sunlight hours. 42,000 New Zealanders signed a petition supporting the extension back in 2007. There are those of course who’ve railed against it, some oppose the disruption to their circadian rhythms, adjusting sleep schedules for young children every six months, some argued animals don’t like it, some bizarrely worried about their curtains fading with too many long summer evenings.But the majority of people seem to favour a longer daylight saving and eeking out the summer months. Dunne says regular polling showed no fewer than 80 percent of people were in favour of daylight saving. But as of Sunday we bid it farewell.. we retreat back into normal Autumnal time.. on the slippery slope to winter. The BBQ’s get packed away, the outdoor furniture covered up, the heaters get dragged out. I must be weird because I’m a fan of winter too though actually.. boots, jackets, hunkering down, rain for the paddocks.. I’m all over it. And although summer lovers will lament the end of the warmer lighter nights, we do of course adjust gradually and get used to it as our bodies adapt. Shift workers usually feel a bit jetlagged for the first couple of weeks though. But just think of it this way, it’s only 6 months until we’re back in it again.

Pressure from Australia is likely to be behind the move from our Government to make a move on the trans-Tasman bubble. Anticipation is building ahead of Cabinet's discussion around a two-way trans-Tasman travel bubble with Australia.Ministers are expected to meet tomorrow to talk about a potential start date, and it is understood it could be put in place between mid to late April.Public pressure over the last week has been seen by some as being a factor in pushing the Government towards this move. Former Minister and United Future leader Peter Dunne agrees that will be a factor, but he told The Weekend Collective that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's comments criticising the Government's slowness, and reports about the country looking for a Singapore bubble instead, will have a bigger factor. "I think Australia to some extent has forced New Zealand to come to the party sooner than we might have expected."He says Australia has very effective Covid-19 controls, and given there is "clear air" there is no reason why we shouldn't go ahead. Dunne expects families will benefit from the bubble at first - but the idea of travelling internationally might draw people overseas instead of going around New Zealand. "That might be something our industry will find a little hard to take."LISTEN ABOVE

Trophies are a big deal to us. More than likely, growing up there were celebrations over your accomplishments. What would it be like to be part of a team only celebrated individuals and obsessed about what each person had individually accomplished? In this passage of scripture, Pastor Philip teaches that some of the greatest hindrances we face in our walk with God are obsessing about our individual accomplishments at the expense of the body of Christ.

A political commentator thinks some National voters went red because they felt stuck, with nowhere else to go.After a tumultuous year with three leadership changes, the party won less than 27 per cent of the vote.Commentator Liam Hehir told Kate Hawkesby increasing Green support would've worried some centrist National voters."There wasn't other centrist parties with major appeal, like has happened previously with New Zealand First and United Future."Hehir says there won't be any imminent leadership change, with Collins having said she won't step down.He says that gives her time to consolidate her position."Collins can argue she can't be held to account, because she inherited such a bad situation."LISTEN ABOVE

It's steady as she goes for Labour and a slight drop for National in the latest 1 News Colmar Brunton poll. Numbers show Labour is still out in front but will need the help of the Greens to govern. Labour is on 47 percent, National 32 percent, Green 6 percent and Act on 8 percent. NZ First made a slight increase - up to 2 percent from its 1 percent in the last poll. That would give Labour 60 seats, National 41, Act 11 and the Greens eight. Nine days out from election day and Jacinda Ardern is still out front as the preferred Prime Minister on 50 percent - but she has dropped four points. Meanwhile Judith Collins is unchanged on 23 percent. Former ACT MP Heather Roy and former United Future leader and MP Peter Dunne join Lisa Owen with their opinions.

A hot topic. (The hottest of all time?) How can humans save their mothership? Human beings are social animals. They are joined in a great collective endeavour. Together they are destroying the world so that they can't live on it any longer. It is a huge success so far. Can they be stopped? (Do they want to be stopped?)

The election campaign is officially underway - and the question remains how many of the current parties will make it back to Parliament. Both NZ First and the Greens are hovering close to falling out of Parliament. The Greens are polling around 5%, while NZ First is down on 2%, with both parties campaigning hard for electoral seats to ensure they make it back.However, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has made headlines during the first weekend of campaigning for all the wrong reasons.In a fiery clash with Q+A broadcaster Jack Tame this morning, he accused TVNZ of lying and ambushing him about topics which he had not prepared for."I regret coming here this morning, to stop off my campaign, to come along to see some junior who thinks he's going to play Billy the Kid," he told Tame.Meanwhile, the Greens have dominated headlines over the week after co-leader James Shaw advocated for a Green School to receive $11.7 million as part of shovel-ready funding. Former MP and United Future leader Peter Dunne joined The Weekend Collective to discuss a rough week for both parties and what it means for the election.LISTEN ABOVE

On the podcast today: things to do with Buddha's Hands; the difference covid-19 's made to the way crews will operate in Antarctica - and what's the future for New Zealand First, former United Future leader Peter Dunne joined us to break down the weekends political news.

Former Minister and United Future leader Peter Dunne says the rise of social media adds fuel to the fire of recent political scandals. Rangitata National MP Andrew Falloon has quit politics after sending a pornographic image to a female university student - and other women have since made similar allegations.It comes on top of months of turmoil for the National Party ahead of the election. Peter Dunne told Simon and Phil while politics isn't getting dirtier, social media and access to news 24/7 means the scandals are more widely known and spread prolonging the headlines.  LISTEN ABOVE

It's all or nothing this election for Labour MP Greg O'Connor, who is gambling a second term on what could be a tight fight in the Wellington electorate of Ōhariu after taking himself off the party list. The former police union boss won the seat by 1051 votes after long time local MP and United Future leader Peter Dunne abandoned his campaign just weeks out from the 2017 election. But National still convincingly took out the party vote in the seat and has done for multiple consecutive elections. Now the competition's ramped up even further with NZ First MP Tracey Martin, who is also the Minister for Children and Seniors and Associate Minister of Education, revealing she will contest the seat too. Lisa Owen spoke to Labour's Greg O'Connor earlier after noticing his name is not on the party list.

Former United Future party leader Damian Light stops by the pod to talk about his political career, leading United Future into the 2017 NZ General Election, and challenges faced along the way.

The proposed counter-terrorism bill is gathering more support, with former United Future leader Peter Dunne saying it's a step in the right direction.The Justice Minister has introduced a new Bill which will monitor the activities of Kiwis returning from war zones, such as former ISIS fighter Mark Taylor.Peter Dunne told Chris Lynch, the likes of the 'bumbling jihadi' have a right to come home, the gap we need to fill is what we do with him once he gets home and this bill tries to do that.He says we can't stop them from coming back but on the other hand we are uncomfortable about what they might do when they come back so having some sort of monitoring or watch list is appropriate.   

Will the Government’s proposed rules improve access to medical cannabis - or will only the rich get relief? We ask Green Party spokesperson for drug law reform Chloe Swarbrick and National Party health spokesperson Michael Woodhouse if the Government has got it right.Then, the voice of experience - Europe's pre-eminent medicinal cannabis expert, Professor Michael Barnes - tells our GPs to urgently prepare for the green rush.Plus, pressure has been building for the agriculture industry to reduce emissions. John-Michael Swannix visits a farm taking up the challenge.And which MP is a former sole parent and a petrol head who rescues battery hens? You might be surprised.As always we are joined by our panel to address the news of the week: Media commentator and journalist Russell Brown, head of equity and Māori health outcomes at ProCare Dr Lance Norman, and former United Future leader Peter Dunne.www.newshub.co.nz/podcasts
