Labour and Greens have pulled their support for a law change which cracks down on migrant exploitation.

Migration pressures which Labour says are contributing to a housing crisis were worse under Helen Clark's Government.

Labour's chances of a strong showing in the vacant Maori seat of Tamaki Makaurau are diminishing after broadcaster Julian Wilcox said he wasn't a contender.

Maori broadcaster Julian Wilcox has no plans to run for Parliament in this year’s election, Maori Television has confirmed.

Dogs and slammed doors? Sure. But being exposed to stark naked man? That's a bit more than most political party door knockers sign up to.

In the spirit of the late great Paul Holmes, TV3's John Campbell has been at home with the leaders of our political parties ahead of this year's election.

TV3 political commentator Linda Clark acted for Shane Taurima in the contentious inquiry into his Labour party activities.

Allegations have been made by Shane Taurima's advocate that Labour used the excuse of the TVNZ review of his alleged conflict of interest to side-line him, writes Mai Chen.

TV3 has defended broadcaster and lawyer Linda Clark following questions about her work for the Labour Party.

Maori Television is refusing to say if it has asked news boss Julian Wilcox about his political ambitions.

Former broadcaster Shane Taurima still has a future with Labour, says the party's leader, despite his bid for candidacy being blocked by the party's ruling body.

Under the old first-past-the-post system National would romp home, but MMP neutralises such clear-cut outcomes, writes Bob Jones.

Shane Taurima was guilty of using TVNZ’s resources for political purposes, but there was no bias in programming, a review has found.

Sources expect that if Shane Taurima emerges badly from the bias inquiry, Julian Wilcox will put his name forward as a Labour party candidate.

The whole nature and feel of the 2014 general election campaign has abruptly changed over the last two weeks. Policy is out, and scandal is in, writes Bryce Edwards.

'Do not go there'. That was the warning given by Prime Minister John Key to Labour MP Chris Hipkins in response to no fewer than four questions from the Opposition over allegations of impropriety in what is increasingly being dubbed 'cash for access'.

The contrary view to Labour's plan for monetary policy and savings goes broadly like this: It is a cute idea but it won't work, writes Brian Fallow.

John Key will be hoping the public has Judith Collins fatigue. It has turned into a war of infinitesimal detail, writes Claire Trevett. Details of who met whom, what was said

National has taken a 6 point dive in the latest Roy Morgan poll, below the combined support of Labour and the Greens at 45.5 per cent.
