  • You really dumped on Te Pati Māori

    This episode on the troubles within TPM was shallow and didn't interview any of the politicians involved. Nor was there any analysis of criticism of the party's perceived failures. It looked quite racist.

  • Rubbish interview.

    What a shockingly appalling episode. I thought this was going to be god journalism. No push back against the republican strategist. Just permission to spout further lies. Where was the question actually asking what specific policies Trump is proposing as opposed to the hyperbole and none sense rhetoric he spouts. Sad that you showed such a lack of journalism here.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran war hits Kiwi wallets hard
Q: Are we looking at a potential recession in New Zealand given global oil price pressures?
Yes, the guest notes heightened recession risk both domestically and globally, driven by higher oil prices and downstream effects on consumption and investment, though timelines may vary.
Iran war hits Kiwi wallets hard
Q: What's your take on the inflation dynamic now that petrol prices are spiking?
The guest argues that while inflation will rise due to transport and energy costs, this does not automatically necessitate a rate hike because the central bank will look through the initial spike, weighing the broader economic context.
The "gnarly and unnecessary" fight reshaping the RSA
Q: What did the High Court decide regarding the constitution change, and why is that decision significant?
The High Court ruled that adopting the new constitution with a 50% hurdle was valid under transitional rules, which effectively endorsed the National Office's direction and complicated the rebels' push for a higher threshold.
As Covid hits again, New Zealand confronts its pandemic past
Q: What are the three key actions to protect yourself and others?
Boost antibodies with a timely booster, self-isolate and get tested when symptomatic, and improve ventilation or wear masks in enclosed spaces to reduce transmission, especially in crowded or indoor settings.
As Covid hits again, New Zealand confronts its pandemic past
Q: Do you think people would test more if they didn't have to pay for the tests?
Testing access is a significant factor in surveillance. If tests were more affordable or free, more people would likely test when experiencing symptoms, improving early detection and reducing transmission, though surveillance can still rely on wastewater data and hospitalisation trends.
