John Key’s resignation means big changes for the whole of New Zealand as we wait to find out who will be our new Prime Minister, and who will lead National into the next election. But we can’t forget how John Key’s been elected into parliament for the last 14 years - the people of Helensville. Key has said he’ll continue as Helensville's MP so as to not trigger a by-election. But he won't be contesting the seat next year.
John Key’s been called the ‘everyman and nowhere man’ of the electorate, which is centered around the town of Helensville northwest of Auckland. But he’s always been popular, winning about 60-75% of the vote over the last 3 elections. So what’s going to happen to the contest for Helensville, now that it’s no longer a cut-and-dry Key victory?
95bFM reporter Daniel Walker speaks to Labour Party secretary general Andrew Kirton.
Yesterday Prime Minister Bill English announced that there will be no Government inquiry into the allegations made in Nicky Hager and John Stephenson’s book “Hit & Run”. The book alleges possible war crimes were committed by New Zealand troops in Afghanistan in 2010 and called for an inquiry into the SAS raids. Bill English, however, says there is no basis for launching an inquiry following a detailed briefing from the defence force. English says what the defence force have outlined publicly are facts, and that there is no evidence they are covering up evidence around the 2010 operation. He added the allegations in the book are flawed and labeled “Hit & Run” a widely inaccurate piece of journalism. Inquiries are still taking place around allegations of New Zealand forces beating and transferring a prisoner into potential torture. Reporter Sam Smith spoke to Hager about the announcement.
