What are Todd McClay's thoughts on Trump's proposed tariffs?
Opinionated, informed, unapologetic. Heather Duplessy-Allen on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. With Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts with national and global reach. Newstalk ZB. And the comedian Chris Parker is in with us after eight. Heather Duplessy-Allen. I'm not one to get excited at election time about the outside chance that some small party's going to make it into Parliament, but I reckon this year's different. I reckon if opportunity plays this right, they may actually do it. They've got a good chance. Yesterday's Roy Morgan poll had them at 6%.
How is Sky TV adapting to the changing landscape of sports broadcasting?
Now, I don't know how much stock I put in that poll yesterday. It was really volatile. National went up 5%. Labour went down 7.5%. And I think swings that big have got to be questioned because they just don't seem credible. But this is now a trend for opportunity. They are now sitting close to, or in this case, above five in multiple polls. And knocking off 5% is the one thing they really have to do because this is the biggest hurdle for a small party trying to get in from the outside. Voters do not want to vote for a party if they don't think it's going to make it in. It's a weird part of our voter psyche that makes no sense, the wasted vote thing.
What concerns does comedian Chris Parker have about the world?
But it's not a concern for opportunity at this stage. It might not matter if they can keep polling this high. Now, I reckon what's going on here is they are benefiting from the same thing that New Zealand First is benefiting from at the moment, which is voter frustration. Same with Pauline Hansel, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump. Voters are so frustrated by regular politicians ignoring them and their concerns for decades now that they just want to blow things up. They'll vote for whoever they think is going to blow it up. Break up the supermarket duopoly, break up the gen tailors, buy back BNZ, stop the immigration, whatever the idea. Doesn't matter how kooky, it's interesting now. For voters on the right, New Zealand First is their blow it up party.
For voters on the left, their blow it up party is Opportunity.
How does the proposed tariff impact New Zealand's trade?
Because Opportunity is the party for voters who are frustrated by Labour, who never do anything, never brave enough to do anything. and voters who are frustrated by the Greens who are just too weird really to be taken seriously. Opportunity is a radical left-wing party with a land tax and a UBI fronted by a nice lady from Auckland. Now, if they can play this right, if that polling can hold up close to 5%, 2026 might just, to coin a phrase on this show, be their year. News of the world in 90 seconds. Protests have erupted in the UK near the site where the teenager Henry Novak was stabbed and killed. Two people were arrested, 11 police officers and a police dog were injured and Starmer has called for calm.
The attacks directed towards police officers in Southampton last night were disgraceful and completely unacceptable. This is a time for serious work, not rage. Nigel Farage, though, isn't one to waste an opportunity.
What are the implications of delayed sports broadcasts for fans?
The anger that you saw spilling out in Southampton last night... And which is in danger... Which is in danger of getting considerably worse... For their part, the police are playing damage control. We are apologising and have apologised for the fact that Henry was arrested and that he was handcuffed at that time. You know, we are apologising for that and we're very sorry for that. Now, this woman saw the protest slash riot develop outside her window.
Yeah, it was just carnage, really, for four hours. Bricks were being thrown, a bin was set on fire and pushed through the police line. I get that people are angry, but you're taking it out on people like us and it's got nothing to do with us, you know. It's horrific what's happened for everyone involved.
Now, in other news, the WHO say those who have put a travel ban on countries with Ebola could actually be making it worse.
How is the youth crime prevention initiative funded?
Blanket travel restrictions imposed by some countries are disrupting supply chains and hindering the response. We ask countries that have imposed blanket travel restrictions to lift them.
