About this listen

In this episode of Political Playback (with Rodney Hide as guest panelist) – should we be more concerned about Jacinda Ardern in Australia or Helen Clark in Auckland; why won’t politicians talk about their (Christian) faith; left-wing The Spinoff is concerned about the rise of Winston and NZ First; Chris Hipkins is absent of alternative solutions or policy; should politicians use AI to write speeches; tension in the Green Party are list candidates – rightly so!; Parliament cancels itself from X; a ban on protests outside the homes of politicians; should we have 4-year electoral terms; the UK puberty blocker trial is paused over safety concerns, confirming the Government’s decision here in NZ; and the Government also kicks the Law Commission report on special rights for transgender people to touch – but could it return?
