The Prime Minister has hinted National will campaign on asset sales next year, saying an election win in 2026 would be the mandate he needs to push ahead with selling off NZ owned assets. Christopher Luxon said there won't be any asset sales this term, but he's open to having a wider conversation about it with voters at the next election. Political reporter Giles Dexter reports.
