On October 19th 2017, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters threw support behind the New Zealand Labour Party, making Jacinda Ardern our 40th Prime Minister and ending nine years of National rule.   Labour has gone through plenty of highs and lows over the last five years, but half a decade on, the party seems to be facing its most perilous period in power yet.   A rogue backbench MP, a brewing economic nightmare, and growing attacks against some key policies are seeing the party dip in the polls.   Five years into power, is Labour able to revive its fortunes before the next general election Today, Newstalk ZB deputy political editor Jason Walls joins Damien to see if there’s any twinkle left in Labour’s stardust.
