About this episode
Dave Letele interviews Chris Hipkins about current issues affecting New Zealanders, including the cost of living and international conflicts.
This week, Dave sits down with Chris Hipkins for a straight kōrero about what people are dealing with right now — the cost of living, rising fuel prices, the genocide in Gaza and the war on Iran, and how it’s impacting Kiwis here at home. From growing up in Lower Hutt to finding his way into politics, Chris also shares the perspective behind how he sees these issues — and why understanding the root causes matters. Hosted on Acast.
