Why did a former National Party insider jump ship to ACT? With the election fast approaching, ACT's Tāmaki candidate James Christmas joins Peter Williams to discuss his battle to hold Brooke van Velden's former electorate, the growing debate over tactical voting, and why he believes National has become too cautious to deliver meaningful reform.
From the future of the Treaty Principles Bill and winding up the Waitangi Tribunal to judicial overreach, government spending, and his public clash with Winston Peters over abortion, Christmas tackles some of the election's most contentious issues. He also draws on his years working alongside former Attorney-General Chris Finlayson to discuss whether Parliament needs to rein in the courts.
