Excellent episode focusing on the Pacific with all the geopolitical tensions now in play.
Barbara Dreaver, who is such a Journalistic Titan in this country, is on. She’s so important to explaining the Pacific to a mass audience and with it coming into play more and more, TVNZ needs to fund everything she wants to do.
How good is William Sio is on and you just forget what an amazing leader he is. He shows how a dignified humble good faith response to the Pacific is our greatest diplomatic tool, get Sio on every week! That’s the kind of politician we need to see more of and hear more form!
After getting the snot beaten out of him by Rebecca Wright yesterday, David Seymour explodes back into action with an eye watering attack on Christopher Luxon in what is his best pitch to the Right he’s ever made in his entire political life.
David Seymour senses how weak Chris Luxon is and is attacking National from the Right by stealing my 100 day strategy.
The Yellow Quick Fox steals from the Lazy Red Hog!

Luxon is a prosperity evangelical Christian who believes him owning 7 properties is proof Jesus loves him.
Luxon is selling self certainty to a frightened electorate. He’s the clam voice of the Pilot just before the plane suddenly explodes.
He can do the 45 second CEO soundbite, but push him on any actual detail and he falls over.
In fact Luxon’s wanting to deregulate NZ’s welfare state!
Seymour is the Yellow Quick Fox who will leap over the lazy blue log.
Seymour intends to amputate 5 Ministry’s, plus the Human Rights Commission while cutting $7billion per year from welfare!
People do not understand just how radical an agenda a National-ACT Government are going to be.
I have been pointing this out for sometime, the Left must find policy that makes a material difference to Kiwis lives at a time of immense economic anxiety or the Government an angry electorate will elect will cause a radical lurch to the hard right in a way we haven’t seen under MMP.
To paraphrase the Wu-tang clan, ‘Act Party Clan ain’t nuthin’ to fuck wit’.
Great show Jack!

We need to find out how Luxon treats all his many tenants. Lets find out what he really thinks of renters, if he actually can be arsed thinking about them at all. They are obviously sinners or God would have given them a house.
The show was good for reasons outlined but the interview , (if you can call it that), with Seymour was pathetic other than highlighting the dearth of talent that the right have . Seymour is a clueless arrogant dweeb kept their by the Epsom silver spooners …
If Seymour is smarter than Luxon ,and as we know Luxon is hopeless, then N.Z should be deeply concerned !!
Grant you comments have no substance. You just come across as anti
Give a good critique and I will give what you say some thought. “Flakey” is just a label
Anti what?….Anti dweeb …yes well…. you got that right and i make no apologies…
The person lacking in substance is Seymour and there is plenty of evidence to support that.
Just go back and look at some of his previous interviews and match what he has said with what has actually happened.
If he had had his way 20,000 more Kiwis would be dead from Covid by now.
If you look up the Otago Daily Times 11/ 8 2021 Seymour is there spouting forth with all his wisdom that the borders need to open up next year regardless of vaccination levels and fortress N.Z shouldn’t be protecting the unvaccinated.
The idiocy is mind numbingly breathtaking. No mention of the hospitals being swamped or people dying in their homes due to over capacity or the number of sick completely crippling all the businesses that he supposedly cares so much about.
There are many other examples of his idiocy, but there he is on T. V, spouting rubbish because the silver spooners put him there.
People like him are an absolute danger to society !!
David even complemented James Shaw, which was interesting. Maybe ACT and the Green s, Could work together in some areas ! He is a far more effective politician than Chris, probably because Luxton has to appeal to center voters and doesn’t understand how the Wellington bureaucracy works, as he has not been in Parliament long, compared to Seymour.
Pfffffffft, Que Sera Sera. It’s now the only thing you can be sure of. And let it happen sooner rather than later. I’m running out of life to be able to witness it.
It’s starting to reach the point where one starts looking at the policies of other party’s and although plenty of ACT’s are not good, a few Seymour mentioned today make good sense.
Then you balance that with Labours achievements of (or lack thereof) and use that as gauge for their next 3 years. Not flash.
And who may be in bed with Labour next to prop them up and those party’s policies. Te Pati Maori’s announcement this weekend of “decolonisation”, for example gives an insight into where that party are headed.
All of that combined is when the opposition parties like ACT start looking distinctly viable, to there point that you’re willing to overlook their bad policies with the ones the resonate for the greater good because the alternative is even worse!
So how does his dropping of the tax rate for the rich coincide with Nationals tax cuts. The rest of ACTs policies border on dangerous.
Your dislike of leftwing politics has been noted for a number of years X-Ray so nothing really to see here.
You could look at Te Pati Maori’s good policies or the Greens and Labours good policies for balance as you have with ACT.
