During question time in parliament yesterday, David Seymour opened up with an intriguing question to Stuart Nash, the Minister of Police. This led to an exchange that revealed something rather baffling.

Dave Pellowe brought his Church & State Summit to New Zealand for this year, the third year it's been running. The keynote speaker was Dr Michael Brown from the USA.

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.

SB's recent article on The BFD, Our Country is New Zealand NOT Aotearoa, included a tweet that stated that "if you are speaking English then speak English." That statement brought an old article to my mind.

It's been a busy week on both sides of the Tasman, with political infighting, corruption, gangs, crime, and a spreading Coronavirus. Tim Wilms and Dieuwe de Boer discuss the issues and more on their regular weekly show.
