For this week's Politics Thursday Nick is joined by National MP for Wairarapa and newly appointed Minister for Land Information Mike Butterick, and Labour MP and Spokesperson for Education and Police Ginny Andersen.

With the announcement of the two-week ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran, Nick asks our politicians how this will affect NZ and their thoughts on what has unfolded these last few days.

Also, how fuel is being impacted - and why is the price of diesel hitting $4 if we still have 51 days left of supply.

And how is Luxon coping with the pressure of leadership?

During Butterick's minister appointment ceremony, he and Cameron Brewer were mistaken for ushers. Hours after Luxon appeared on Breakfast and stumbled around how many Māori MPs were in his cabinet - forgetting Tama Potaka. 

They dissect his performance as Prime Minister - and how he is coping with the conflict.

New Zealand is seeing a huge surge in drug imports at the border. In the first 4 months of 2025 at Auckland Airport the amount of drugs seized was more than the total from all NZ airports the year prior.  

What will our politicians do to solve this issue, where do the problems lie?

And the RBNZ has decided to keep OCR 2.25%, what does this mean for our economy.
