  • Hipkins' Empty Speech, Air NZ In Turbulence And Mistreated Kiwi Farmers

    Hipkins' Empty Speech, Air NZ In Turbulence And Mistreated Kiwi Farmers
    Feb 27 2026
    Are we holding Kiwi farmers to gold-plated standards while waving cheap imports straight through the border? This week we take on what Duncan calls the double standard threatening to force local producers out of business. From pork and eggs to animal welfare rules, farmers say they’re being hammered at home while competing against products made under standards we’ve already banned. Then it’s politics. Ani O’Brien and Maurice Williamson join us to dissect Chris Hipkins’ “state of the nation” speech, the cost of living reality facing households, and whether voters are actually feeling any economic bounce. We also get into billion-dollar power company profits, Air New Zealand’s big loss, and whether selling it is the answer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Duncan shares the frustrating story of a solo mum who is $30 a week worse off just for taking a 10-hour-a-week job. It is a systemic failure that punishes initiative and keeps people trapped on welfare. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While families are rationing heat, the big electricity companies have banked nearly $2 billion in profit in just six months. Duncan is joined by Auckland Chamber of Commerce boss Simon Bridges to talk about the state of the economy, the lack of bold political leadership, and why it’s time to break open the current system.
