New Starts for Pavel and Chippy - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

This week’s episode looks back at results from the Czech Presidential election, and also unpacks Chris Hipkins’ first Cabinet as New Zealand Prime Minister. In Czechia, Petr Pavel decisively defeated former Prime Minister Andrej Babis, but after the second defeat in a row, is this now game over for the ANO 2011 leader? How did Pavel pull off a decisive victory in the second round? And what will be the geopolitical impact of his win?

In New Zealand, Chris Hipkins has reshuffled the Government in one of his first acts as Prime Minister, so Sam and Chern unpack the appointments and look ahead this year’s General Election. Why was Chris Hipkins elected unopposed as Labor leader? Who are some of the winners and losers in the reshuffle? How is Christopher Luxon preparing to face Hipkins moving into the election? And what does each party need to do to win? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
