  • Not afraid to ask the hard questions

    Tame does a great job exposing the hypocrisy and stupidity of all New Zealand politicians. Other local journalists should take note - your job isn’t to be their friend, it is to hold them accountable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q+A 29 March 2026: NZ’s foreign policy response to Iran falling short: Labour
Q: Can we trust the US?
Walters responds that New Zealand should maintain an independent foreign policy, engage with multiple partners, and assess risks through due diligence rather than blanket trust or distrust of any single ally.
Q+A 29 March 2026: NZ’s foreign policy response to Iran falling short: Labour
Q: What would have been gained by more forcefully calling out the US and Israel's actions as breaches of the UN Charter?
Walters emphasizes the importance of consistency and warns that public condemnation should be balanced with strategic consideration of trade partners and regional stability, while still upholding human rights and international law.
Q+A 29 March 2026: NZ’s foreign policy response to Iran falling short: Labour
Q: OK, talk to me about the consistency. Are you suggesting that this government has been inconsistent when thinking about foreign affairs and the way that it treats incidents overseas?
Walters argues that there has been inconsistency, particularly in Gaza statements and alignment with the US, and stresses the need for a principled, multilateral approach that upholds international law rather than taking a one-sided stance.
“Extreme risk”. How Iran war exposes NZ’s national security vulnerabilities
Q: I asked him what he's made of the conflict in Iran.
He stresses that the Iran conflict is part of a broader rupture in the rules-based international order, with cascading effects on regional stability, energy security, and global power dynamics that NZ must anticipate and plan for.
Will fuel price blowouts push us toward electrification?
Q: What financing options exist to help households switch to solar and EVs?
A ratepayers assistance scheme and other long-term, low-interest financing can unlock upfront costs, with savings from electrification paying back loans and delivering ongoing benefits.
