Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Seymour on division, ‘dropkicks’ and working with Winston
Q: How has it gone sitting around the table with that clown? How's it been?
Seymour says the coalition has worked together to provide stable government and pass or advance a substantial ACT policy agenda, despite his earlier criticism of Winston Peters.
David Seymour on division, ‘dropkicks’ and working with Winston
Q: Do you stand by that?
Seymour stands by calling people who do not enroll “drop kicks,” arguing that enrollment is a legal and civic responsibility tied to jury service and the integrity of electoral rolls.
Chlöe Swarbrick on being cast as ‘bogeyman’ of 2026 election
Q: What is the priority, the first thing you would do if you found yourself in a position to be able to do it after November the 7th?
Swarbrick says the Greens would fix the tax system, including introducing a wealth tax on individual net wealth above $10 million, excluding the family home. She says the policy could enable tax cuts for 96% of New Zealanders while supporting public services and investment.
Chlöe Swarbrick on being cast as ‘bogeyman’ of 2026 election
Q: What has surprised you in this campaign? You're first as leader. What didn't you expect?
Swarbrick says she did not expect to become the National Party's “bogeyman” and found the campaign more unpleasant than she anticipated. She was also surprised by the government campaigning as though it were in opposition.
Chris Hipkins: in defence of incrementalism
Q: Would you describe yourself as an incrementalist or a radical incrementalist?
Hipkins says he has used the term radical incrementalist because major reforms are not truly bold if they are later undone. He argues that governments need to build public support so changes endure.
