This week Zazi and Brooke talk about the APEC Leaders Summit that recently took place, as well as the 1 News Colmar Brunton poll.

First off, the two talk about the virtual Summit that took place on the 11th and 12th of November. Brooke shares if she thinks Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern did a good job with hosting this year, what she thinks of the Aotearoa Action Plan that was endorsed, as well as if she thinks climate change issues are one of the biggest economic challenges facing the world today.

Then, Zazi speaks to Brooke about the 1 News Colmar Brunton Poll results that came out this week. Zazi asks how Brooke feels about these results, what she thinks of David Seymour being above Judith Collins in the preferred Prime Minister poll, as well as if she thinks COVID-19 impacted the National Party's results.

The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand is calling for anti-lockdown protestors to stop misuing the Holocaust and the Star of David. At anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination rallies New Zealand’s Covid-19 restrictions and vaccination mandates have been compared to the Holocaust by protestors. News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston interviews the Chair of the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand Deborah Hart about why this comparison is insensitive and wrong. They discuss how the inclusion of Holocaust related terms in anti-lockdown protests have impacted New Zealand's Jewish community and why the right to protest does not give you the right to appropriate the industrialised genocide of six million Jews.
