Tonight on The Huddle, Ali Jones from Red PR and Jordan Williams from the Taxpayers' Union joined in to discuss the following issues of the day- and more!

A Taxpayers' Union funded Curia poll shows Labour's taken another hit- the party's down 4 points to 27 percent. National's up by 1.6 points to to 34.9 per cent and ACT is down slightly to 13. The Greens have also jumped by 3 points to 12 and NZ First is at 5.8 percent. Is Labour finish by this point?

ACT plans to rewrite the Sentencing Act and put the victim at the centre when sentencing criminals. Labour says this will lead to more criminals and more people in prison. Does the idea have merit?
