Political Playback – 8 October 2026

In this episode of Political Playback – the latest polls and can we rely on them; we analyse the Luxon / Hipkins debate – and do these major and minor party debates achieve anything, and are they analysed fairly by the media; is it immoral to be a billionaire and should we just say “ka kite” to themas suggested by the Greens; has the Opportunity Party shot itself in the foot; NZ First’s list is announced; Labour’s “ooopsy” over charter schools; the ‘media party’ continue to attack the right and uplift Opportunity (and ignore Labour’s plummet); business leaders give their views – is anyone listening; that interview with Winston that has got the media (and Luxon) all excited and annoyed; ‘strategic voting’ continues to get criticism – but only when the right wing voters suggest it; and a Policy Pop Quiz on the various policies announced recently by the parties – yeah or nah.
