Dieuwe de Boer

This weeks live talkshow covered daylight savings, the Extinction Rebellion disruptions, Scott Morison's latest anti-globalist speech, local elections in NZ, the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook's discovery, and the end of NZ donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Fifty lucky New Zealanders were invited to Beijing to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the brutal, murderous, evil, and oppressive reign of the Communist Party of China. Among then was spy-turned-politician Jian Yang.

The global political climate has continued to change this past week. President Trump is now being subjected to impeachment hearings in the House. The People’s Republic of China is celebrating 70 years of Communist rule.

One of the coolest things to come out of the United Nations climate thingy was a new free trade deal between five small nations. The whole thing is also a bit funny as these nations combined make up 0.31% of the global greenhouse gas emissions.

The Green Party posted the following status update unironically after Great Thunberg's United Nation's speech.

Presented in association with The Unshackled. Trans-Tasman Talk (TTT) is hosted by Tim Wilms from Melbourne and Dieuwe de Boer from Auckland. The show debuts every Tuesday at 9pm New Zealand time (and 7pm Melbourne time).

In her speech to the United Nations, our dear leader Jacinda Ardern said the following: "Our globalised, borderless world asks us to be guardians not just for our people, but for all people."

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.
