Political Playback - 19 February 2026

In this episode of Political Playback - the latest political polls contradict each other; we compare the social media posts of Christopher Luxon relating to different religious events; the Labour party are losing lots of their blokes; the NZEI gets political with kids & insults recorder teachers; NZ First wants a referendum on the Maori seats, but are they just abusing private members bills as a form of policy announcement process; Simon and Bob disagree on the four year parliamentary term proposal; English to become an ‘official’ language; politicians who are LGBT-friendly still get abused at the Big Gay Out; & Luxon makes a nice gesture but the media still aren’t happy about the response.
