    A fresh 1News Verian poll gives the coalition the numbers to form a Government - with New Zealand First getting its highest rating in almost eight years


    National's on 36-percent, up two - while Act is steady on nine-percent, and New Zealand First climbs two to seven-percent.

    Meanwhile, Labour's down one to 32 percent - the Greens are steady on 10 percent and Te Pati Maori are on three, down one.

    In the preferred prime minister stakes Chris Luxon is on 23 percent, Chris Hipkins is on 20 - and Winston Peters is now third, on seven-percent.

    Luxon told 1News he's there to get things done and deliver for people - and if he does that right, New Zealanders will decide they're better off under this Government.
