Dr. Edwards joins Mikey to bring some sanity to the Australian politician citizenship scandal, as well as some rarely heard words on the average punter's election participation.
Yesterday evening brought a great deal of NZ political upheaval: Turei's resignation; Greens haemorrhaging members; Ardern's unprecedented jump in the polls; and National remaining mysteriously quiet. Cripes. What's going on, Jennifer!?
What a week... and what an outcome. With seven weeks to go, what difference does Labour's newly minted leader make to the opposition's chances of securing the election?
It's the election, stupid! Slack / Havoc talk voter apathy, empathy and all dangers to democracy that lie somewhere in between. With special topical appearances from Back Benches and Metiria Turei.
What do we take from the government's response to youth suicide? Too little, too late? And is Shane Jones yet another example of NZ First's sneaky election lead-up power?
The ever-unfolding debacles of Labour's intern scheme and National's Barclay balls-up - have we heard the last? (Probably not.) If Barclay was unfit to be an MP, then why was he so supported by his party? How important is the contentious issue of water ownership in New Zealand? And what's on Rob's vicar's current reading list?
That Barclay's a bit of a sausage and a sneaky one at that. Why did the National Party bigwigs rush to his aid? What does this suggest about our politicians' relationship with lobbyists? And, according to Slack, just what _does_ a room full of young political hopefuls look like?
