I totally disagree with what Australia Q&A's Mona Eltahawy has to say about white people, men, and capitalism. But I have to say that I have gained an appreciation for her after reading "Headscarves and Hymens".
The 5th of November has come and gone. It's an annual celebration of Guy Fawkes' failed plot to blow up the Protestant Parliament of King James I. This special date closely follows October 31st, the start of the Reformation.

Is it possible to write a bill that's worse than the First Tarrant Law? Apparently it is. It all goes wrong in the preamble. Owning firearms is a right, and the wording that claims to the contrary cannot change that fact.
The legacy media have not defended free speech for ordinary citizens or the alt-media, but now have concerns they might lose their own voice and are pressing the issue.

As I write this, it has just been revealed that the remains of 2,246 aborted babies were found in the home of an Indiana abortionist. It's estimated that he killed over fifty thousand babies in his career.
Our second show explores similar issues currently affecting our nations and how they're being handled differently on either side of the Tasman. From China, to the waning perception of Jacinda, to the abortion bills before Parliament.
For our first show we explore the different issues affecting our two connected nations. While she is beloved by the world, Jacinda Ardern’s Prime Ministership is falling apart in New Zealand. Her big government projects are crumbling.
