About this episode

Paul Henry discusses the NZ economy, the National Party's struggles, and his political ambitions.

The uncomfortable truth National MPs won’t say out loud is that nothing is moving the dial. With eight consecutive polls putting the party under 30%, Christopher Luxon has a massive messenger problem. Plus, the man himself, Paul Henry, joins the podcast. He reveals why he’s trading his runway for a run at Parliament with Act, and whether he can actually survive the mundane reality of Wellington. Learn more about your ad choices.
