While I was defending the “right to silence” the other day, I also thought about the “right to life” around the attempted murder of this boy recently severely injured and hospitalised.
National and ACT are both jumping on an emotional bandwagon that will inevitably lead to demise of the right to silence and put us well and truly on the path to becoming a full blown Police State.
There were two new polls this month, the first for this election year. The important thing is that neither differed much from around three months ago, and they don’t even differ much from each other.
This episode of TTT covered the bizarre and funny story of Fireman Paul who became famous for his criticism of ScoMo, the investigations of the NZ SFO into two political parties, and the departure of Holden from the Tasman.
The story developed rather quickly, and within a week of Red Radio announcing it was going to kill off Concert FM, the decision was largely reversed. But is all as rosy as it appears?
Bushfires have turned to torrential rain and floods, and the political climate continues on both sides of the Tasman. The election year mudslinging continues in New Zealand politics and Australia implements race-based rights or return.

Trans-Tasman Talk returned from it's summer holiday hiatus for Tim Wilms and Dieuwe de Boer to discuss how the world has ended several times in the first month of 2020.
