The Prime Minister has met her new counterpart in Australia, Anthony Albanese, but will anything change over 501 deportees? A new poll shows the pain points for the government - economic pressures and crime, is it time for a Cabinet reshuffle? And then there's the Tauranga by-election.

Neale Jones was Chief of Staff to Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern, and prior to that was Chief of Staff to Andrew Little. He is the director of Capital Government Relations.

Tim Hurdle is a former National party advisor and was campaign director for National at the 2020 election.
