It was a good well balanced show finally Jim Mora shut his gob after asking pointed questions.
A show well worth listening to.
The upshot concenus was that the final process of choosing a Government could well take much longer as Winston was covering all his responsibilities well but they agreed that the process should not be expected to be finalised in one week rather they feel it may be likely to be finalised by another three weeks.
It was made clear that the whole process along all parties must be made carefully and needs time to be done correctly.

Board and Panel Bias
Professors, Doctors, Highly paid Economists, Accountants and all persons of highly paid positions in Education, Corporations, so called Radio Commentators, and Councilorss are not likely to vote for a Party such as Labour.
No matter what words they utter, they will be subtly protecting their Income and status level, while modest income people pay full Tax (paye), GST, have no Trusts, no Perks, no Bonuses. No paid Conferences and TurkeyTrots.
A number of Ethnicities as single group feel themselves to be upper class by virtue of their ethnicity. Even if their offspring have anti-social and criminal attitudes. And want Free everything. They do not vote Labour.
Farmers also group themselves as a special. And have the divine right to pollute whatever they want, whenever they want. Because they are Farmers.
They get well looked after by their Union and by the National Party. They do not vote Labour.
Small Business do not vote Labour. Although they don’t get spoon fed like the Farmers.
Therefore, The on going prediction from one election to the next is simply “the rich get richer and the Poor get poorer”.
And that is what makes MMP a stupidty. It suffers from multiple imbalances. It also make First past the post a stupidity.
A true Democracy will look after all its Workers. Pay them generously. For they are the people who do the work.
But National does not allow Workers to open their mouths. Oh Holy Shit no.
They can take as long they like to get it right ( no pun).
Firstly because it frustrates the MSM because they only understand MMP when it suits them.
Secondly, New Zealanders can see the world doesn’t collapse without a government in place.
Good for future thinking.
100% Kim Dandy.
Q+A did a crap job with this political subject today – shame on them.
Not worth a watch.

Corin Dann was flying the blue flag wildly and anchor Greg Boyes was pathetic with his loaded “National is right” questions, making the whole presentation become so unbalanced.
The whole thing was capped off with the blue flag standard bearer Fran O’Sullivan was disgustingly proud to show her ‘bias’ toward the National Party with a solid ‘long served stable policy’.
We hope Winstons new Media broadcast policy rids all these national clingon’s for good later this year, it can’t come soon enough as this is the worst example of MSM I have ever witnessed on public media.
Even Radio NZ did much better than this.
+100…what matters is a good stable long term Labour , NZF, Green coalition Government
…not the time it takes to negotiate this, to the satisfaction of all the parties
Not the mainstream media:’Watching the Hawks’ is a bloody good show
‘Campus in crisis & who is Barry Seal? (E584)’
https://www.rt.com/shows/watching-the-hawks/406665-sexual-assault-issue-us/
“Progressive activist Nick Brana and conservative strategist Salvator La Mastra debate free speech on college campuses and the student debt crisis.
Sexual assault and misogyny suffer a terrible week with the public shaming of Harvey Weinstein and Ben Affleck.
As ‘American Made’ rocks the box office, author Daniel Hopsicker shares the real facts of Barry Seal and his CIA employers. Redacted Tonight’s Naomi Karavani and Natalie McGill join the show to talk factory farms and corruption in the school system.”
yes 100%
As we place the public shaming of Harvey Weinstein and Ben Affleck against the self importance Hollywood places on itself every time we see Hollywood splashed across our screens with the trapppings of ‘who’s hooking up with who’ in the gossip beltway it is anough to make me sick.
They are so bloody full of themselves now without any shame.

TV one 15th October 2017.
ANZ said today; Trouble ahead.
“A stark warning the global financial market is “starting to smell a bit like 2007” has come from an ANZ Economist who has shed light on what the next government could face.”
Economist Sharon Zoller gives an insight into the global economy which the next government could face. And it might be bleak.
Source: Q+A
Speaking on TVNZ’s Q+A programme this morning, Sharon Zollner said when the next government is briefed on the state of New Zealand’s economy, she acknowledged there are “still plenty of tailwinds” to the so called ‘rock star economy’, but confessed “a number of those tailwinds seem to be running out of puff.”

When discussing potential shocks the new government could face, Ms Zollner said, “It’s fair to say that some things are starting to smell a bit like 2007 out there in global financial market land.
“‘There’s been a bull market in everything,’ as the Economist called it.
“And that’s completely understandable, because the price of borrowing money has been at record lows for a very long time, and so the price of anything you could borrow money to buy has been pushed up, whether that’s equities, commercial property, residential property, collector cars, fine art – you name it, it has all benefited from this extreme monetary policy stimulus.
“Just not wages, not inflation.
“It’s been a bizarre time, but it is probably fair to say that the quality of the growth that we’ve seen since 2008 has not been great. It’s been fuelled by debt and by leverage. And at some point, that debt has to be paid back.”
Fuelling concern for the future of the New Zealand economy is the Auckland housing market.
“Our major vulnerability, I’d say, is Auckland house prices – how stretched they are. And also consumer debt, mostly mortgage debt, is now at a record high relative to income.”
