Labour leader Chris Hipkins has stated that the United States and Israel breached international law with their bombing of Iran, especially with the strike that killed 150 people at a primary girls’ school.
While former Labour Prime Minister Helen Clark says New Zealand should not provide military support for “an illegal invasion” of Iran.
And the New Zealand Crime and Victims Survey has published its latest results for the year leading up to October 2025.
For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden spoke to MP Shanan Halbert about both of these topics.
Last week, Thursday Wire host Caeden spoke to Dr Timothy Welch, Senior Lecturer at the University of Auckland, about New Zealand’s reliance on cars in the face of a fuel crisis.
Earlier this week the Government announced a fuel crisis relief package, which includes giving 150,000 families an extra $50 a week to help with fuel costs.
The Green Party proposed an alternative support package that includes free public transport for three months on top of targeted relief payments.
Caeden spoke to Dr Timothy Welch again, this time about the government’s response and alternative proposals that focus on increasing public transport usage.
They started by asking if he could give an overview of what is in the Government’s relief package.
