The Whip for 25 February 2026

Join Wallace for New Zealand's most explosive 30 minutes of politics. He is joined by panellists Wayne Mapp, Andrea Vance and Grant Duncan. On the block for discussion tonight: the government's move-on policy for rough sleepers; should politicians use X?; the defence minister Judith Collins halts a NZDF bicultural programme, and the government quietly dropped it's quarterly action plans - otherwise known as "dashboard crap" by one Winston Peters.
