Andrew Dickens talks with Newstalk ZB's political editor, Barry Soper, about the story of the day which, whether you like it or not, is the fact that our Prime Minister is about to have her baby. Politicians across the House have wished Jacinda Ardern well and Soper says he hasn't seen anything like it in his almost 50 years covering politics in this country.

"It's a Prime Minister having a child, in office, it's a story. I've been in this business for almost half a century and I can tell you in my time covering stories, this is a story."
