About this listen

In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon addresses the recent judicial decision to block the ban on puberty blockers in New Zealand calling it more an act of activism, relying on outdated information and outright fabrications. Simon also highlights the very poor choice of ‘quote of the year’ by Massey University. He then spends time dissecting the recent speech by Green Party MP Chloe Swarbrick around Bondi, noting how she avoids discussing key elements of the tragedy while also trying to uiversalise what happened. Simon then quickly covers recent news around TVNZ, the Waipareira Trust, and the imprisonment of Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai.
