    I have found the show up until now worth while however I wish Andrew you didn’t make the show political, I can name a great multitude of projects that if the LNP funded we would be world beaters! If it wasn’t for the fact that the Kiwi’s are so far in front of us we would be still leaving things to the USA & Britain. Please leave the Tic For Tac politics out of your excellent show?

    Kind Regards
