Commentary:

As debate continues about Luxon's political future following last week's MMP reform comments, there's growing discussion about whether a referendum is needed.

He joined Newstalk ZB's Kerre Woodham on 11 August, 2026 to outline New Zealand's possible options amid the ongoing election season.
