Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How will NZ’s under-16 social media ban work? (And why do NZ First and Act hate it?)
Q: What is the political status and likelihood of passage before or after the election?
The bill is presented as a government bill but is driven by coalition partners; Labour is evaluating and has not yet pledged full support. The timing is uncertain, likely delaying enforcement until years after passage, potentially making it an election issue.
How will NZ’s under-16 social media ban work? (And why do NZ First and Act hate it?)
Q: How would age checks be enforced and what are the concerns about privacy?
Age verification would be platform-led, with multiple methods such as face scans or device data, raising privacy concerns. There is debate about how robust these checks should be, with worries about privacy versus effectiveness, and potential exemptions or carve-outs.
How will NZ’s under-16 social media ban work? (And why do NZ First and Act hate it?)
Q: What does social media ban mean in practice for NZ under 16s and what is included in the definition?
The definition follows the Australian model closely, focusing on platforms with features like endless scrolling and algorithmic recommendations. Apps like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and streaming services such as Kick and Twitch are included, while Discord and LinkedIn are not, due to their professional or community-focused nature.
Where in NZ is basking in economic recovery, where is not – and why?
Q: To put this on a very human level at the outset, when you travel and you arrive in a town or a region, are you seeing signs of the two-speed recovery Christopher Luxton described?
Yes, there are clear contrasts: some places like Invercargill and Christchurch feel buzzing with activity and growth, while others in the North like Kerikeri regions face tougher conditions, reflecting both data trends and lived experience.
From Ooshie-itis to Smeg-mania, supermarket promo fever grips NZ
Q: Why do you think these promotions are so successful in New Zealand right now?
They combine nostalgia, the thrill of collecting, and tangible rewards that integrate into everyday shopping, while leveraging social sharing and limited-time urgency to boost spend and brand loyalty.
