The Prime Minister is in damage control mode after telling struggling business owners in Rotorua to “be adult”.

Christopher Luxon made the remarks at a business event, and they’ve sparked a fierce backlash.

He’s since had to apologise after being labelled out of touch and patronising.

So, is this a gaffe that’ll keep haunting him, or just a bad week in a challenging political environment? And what does it say about how the Government sees its role in supporting or stepping back from struggling businesses?

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Chief Political Reporter Jamie Ensor joins us to break down how National’s caucus is reacting, and what next.

Drift into the ancient story of House Stark, told as a calm and atmospheric bedtime chronicle from the world of Westeros.

Travel north to Winterfell, where hot springs warm the ancient stone and generations of Starks have endured long winters, old rivalries and the quiet burden of duty. From the earliest legends of Bran the Builder and the Kings of Winter to the Starks who shaped the North in the centuries that followed, this is the story of a family bound to an ancient land.

Told in a gentle, conversational style, The Wolves of Winterfell is a relaxing journey through northern history, legend and memory — created for sleep, relaxation and peaceful late-night listening.

Settle beneath the furs, listen to the wind beyond the castle walls, and let the story carry you slowly into the North.

This is an unofficial fan-made story inspired by the world of A Song of Ice and Fire.
