Amanda Luxon on PM’s popularity: NZers 'miss out' on the full story The PM's wife was asked about last month's poll result which showed National Party support had fallen to 28%.

Oh. This is the new strategy then. Wheel out the Whānau. Except she doesn't seem to actually say what the good parts are?

Greta is playing a game getting us to guess what foreign words mean. She gives us hints when we're struggling.

What do you call a cooked chicken, was one such hint.

how can you say no poll will make u resign because you're focused on what new zealanders what, when the poll is telling you what they want?
