Local Elections Turn Out, Ceasefire in Gaza, and Te Pāti Māori Infighting w/ Labour’s Shanan Halbert: 16 October, 2025

Only 32.6% of eligible voters voted in local elections, the worst turnout in 36 years. 

Foreign Minister Winston Peters has welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza.

And politicians across the house have criticised Te Pāti Māori for the confusing infighting between members that has played out over the past few days.

For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Shanan Halbert about all of these issues.
