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.
Both Tasman nations released their mid-year fiscal outlooks, Australia is still gunning for a surplus, while New Zealand is accepting a deficit. Jacinda banned plastic fruit stickers and the gun buyback ends this week.
The city of Sydney is in a bushfire induced smoke haze, one of New Zealand’s active volcano has erupted to cause tragedy. Natural disasters are not political nor man-made climate-induced, but political issues are still in the public sphere.
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 this episode, Tim Wilms and Dieuwe de Boer discuss the latest news and who seems to be running the nations on either side of the Tasman: Chinese Communists or local bureaucrats?
Tim and Dieuwe discuss International Men's Day, bushfires, Israel Folau, farm protests, China, botched surgeries, and Prince Charles vising New Zealand.
Tim and Dieuwe discuss hate trials, bushfires, the Zero Carbon Bill, the unpersoning of Christian athletes, police killings, land claims, feminist outrage, and wasteful government spending.
On this week's show, Tim and Dieuwe discuss the Melbourne Cup, Andrew Little's Ministry of Truth, the need for men to get abortions, more unrelated protests in both countries, and parties continuing to gear up for the election next year.
This episode of Trans-Tasman Talk covers the climbing of Ayers Rock, white guilt, farmers are fighting back against government erosion of their livelihoods, gun rights, the spy state, and politicians caught in embarrassing situations.
