Series Classification: G (General Audiences)
Available from Tuesday 19 September at www.rnz.co.nz/grilled or on RNZ’s social media channels.
Grilled by Charlotte Cook is a web series which is part of RNZ’s Election 2023 coverage – except instead of the usual campaign diet of sausage rolls, lollies, and caffeine, the top four polling parties put their leaders on the chopping block in the kitchen.
The leaders of ACT, the Greens, Labour, and National faced Midday Report’s Charlotte Cook, who grills them over policies, technique in the kitchen, and how they got into politics. Te Pāti Māori and NZ First declined to take part in the series.
Each party got to pick a meal of their choice. Some made bolder decisions than others, but all provided the perfect way to see who could be leading your country, from the comfort of a kitchen.
Watch the series to find out if they could handle the heat, who tried to serve raw chicken, and if knives came out.
Te Pāti Māori and NZ First declined to take part in the series.
