The Whip for 11 February 2026

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Lillian Hanley, Guyon Espiner and former labour MP Poto Williams.

On the show today: Is it a levy or a tax? Has the Government got the messaging right about the plan to build a 1-billion-dollar LNG import facility? Then, the retail crime advisory group has had its plug pulled after three of its five members walked away. Was it a folly or did it get the job done? And finally, The Post journalist Andrea Vance has suggested MPs who use X are engaged in a form of tacit endorsement in the sharing of child sex abuse material. Is she right?
