Show Notes

Certain policies could be sticking points in holding up negotiations between National, Act and New Zealand First.  

National will need both parties to make a government after they lost two seats following special votes.  

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls says it's hard to figure out how much progress was made over the weekend.  

He told Kate Hawkesby while there seems to be agreement on infrastructure issues, race relations policy could be causing tension. 

“Christopher Luxon – he hasn’t ruled out, say for example, the Treaty referendum, but it sounds like he very, very, very much doesn’t want that to be a thing because of how divisive he envisions that being.”
