How does Labour come back from massive defeat?

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

The six years of the sixth Labour government have come to a close. Only three years after Jacinda Ardern led her party to a historic landslide, Chris Hipkins has had the dubious honour of guiding his party to the biggest electoral defeat for a governing party yet. The question now is what the future holds for Labour. The last three National governments each lasted three terms, and after losing half its caucus, Labour has a long way to go to prevent that from happening a fourth time. So where did the party lose its way, and how should they rebuild to face a modern electorate? Today, on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson shares his thoughts on what Labour needs to do if it wants to return to power.
