What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hear yourself think. It's Heather Duplessy-Allen on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. With Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts with national and global reach. Newstalk ZB.
Morning and welcome to the show. Coming up today, Chris Hipkins on when the copper should have told the police that he's off to join the Labour Party, plus why it's OK for Chippy to use a super to buy a beach house, but you can't. We've got claims of aluminium dumping, the aluminium industry on that and where the stuff is coming from. The stoush over money that's stopping Spark from replacing all the old pay phones around the country. We've got Catherine Field doing France for us, Enda Brady in the UK, and we'll get the Middle East expert Jeffrey Price to explain what's going on with the Iran ceasefire after eight. So what do you reckon? Can One Nation keep polling like this all the way through to the next Australian election in a couple of years?
What's happening to this party is nothing short of remarkable at the moment. They are now the most popular party in Australia in three polls over the last fortnight. And that includes the News Poll poll, which is a little bit like the TVNZ poll for us.
What are the key topics covered in today's Mike Hosking Breakfast?
It is the big one. It's the one that people talk about. If an election was held today, one nation would be forming a government. Pauline Hanson would be the Prime Minister of Australia. Now, my pick is they can't hold this for two years for one reason, personnel. They've got the same problem that Nigel Farage has with reform over in the UK, same problem Winston Peters has with New Zealand First here. They end up needing so many candidates fast that they bring in numpties. Winston is famous for this. He's famous for bringing in Motley Crue, isn't he?
What are the implications of aluminium dumping claims in New Zealand?
Most recently, Andy Foster, who's currently rorting the accommodation allowance by now claiming money to pay for him to live in a house he's owned in Wellington since 2000. My favourite numpty, though, is the one that was brought in by Nigel Farage in the recent council elections in the UK. The woman who said she wasn't ready for the job because she didn't know what an amendment was. And that's the trouble that Pauline Hanson's going to have. She has to find maybe 150, maybe 180 candidates for both parliamentary and Senate elections. Each of them has to be vetted for skeletons. Each of them has to be media trained. They have to learn the policies. They have to be taught not to say anything other than the approved lines and policies.
Now, that is without this party even having to come up with credible policy and everything else that's required to convince voters that they're ready to run the country. I reckon One Nation will probably still have a rip snorter of an election in two years. They'll do well. But well enough to actually install a prime minister? Again, have a look at Pauline Hanson. Their problem is personnel.
News of the world in 90 seconds.
All eyes are on the Middle East again this morning to see if the Iran ceasefire holds. Iran and Israel have been trading airstrikes over the last 24 hours. Trump has spoken on Truth Social. Final negotiations on peace are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in the way. The blockade will remain in place and in full force and effect until a final deal is reached.
How is the Labour Party's leadership transition affecting New Zealand politics?
Things should move quickly. Iran is blaming the US...
Direct responsibility of the United States is unequivocal and the consequences of any escalation of tensions will also rest with the United States.
And Israel is pausing strikes for now.
They stopped attacking us after we attacked them in Iran. And if the terror regime will make a mistake and once again attack us, we will retaliate forcefully. Israel has the full right for self-defense and we are realizing it whenever necessary.
To Britain, where the inquiry into the 2023 Nottingham attacks has wrapped up. This was where the paranoid schizophrenic Valdo Calacane stabbed three people to death and tried to kill three others. The families are hoping for justice.
My eyes have been opened to what the public don't see behind closed doors.
