    Episode 125: Are we moving from green shoots to green shrubs?
    Dec 12 2025

    For the Iron Duke Podcast's penultimate episode for the year of 2025, the team discuss whether our long summer break is too long, whether the RMA reform consultation period will not be long enough, and the state of the darn New Zealand media. The more positive stories of the day include the potential of growth of our economy going from green shoots to shrubs, Wellington Regional Council launching its own ticketing system and the role that solar panels can play for improving the resilience of our rural communities.

    Tune in next week for our final episode with a long-time-no-see special guest.
