    NCEA is a Disaster – Erica Stanford on Why It’s Time for Change
    Aug 4 2025
    Today on the show… - I’m joined tonight by Education Minister Erica Stanford for an exclusive one on one chat about the gutsy and overdue call to dump NCEA in our schools. - Across 23 long, wasted years and NINE Ministers - we have sat by and watched thousands of kids go through the failed system. These kids have been able to game the system, get credits without doing much and pass before the end of year exams so they don’t show or don’t care. - A hopeless qualification that is not recognised by anyone, and finally a Minister with a plan, some guts and a tone of ambition for our young teenagers has acted and decisively so. - Plus some Letters to the Editor!

    Is the Greyhound Racing Industry Misunderstood?
    Aug 1 2025
    Today on the show… - The Greyhound racing industry says Winston Peters decision to wind it down and ban all races from July next year is the wrong one. It was rushed and done without proper consultation. - Tonight we will speak to a supporter of the industry and the owner of rehomed greyhounds. He says the industry has been treated poorly, and crucial facts which show the industry has cleaned itself up have been ignored. - And it’s becoming clear the industry is also being blocked, muzzled and cancelled by the media. Tonight I will reveal that the Christchurch Press refused to run an open letter from Greyhound Racing NZ as part of an advertising feature they wanted to buy.
