Today on the show... The pay equity scrap is a mess that the national Government should have been able to avoid. It’s been shambles when the truth is, it’s easily defendable. The eyeballs are on Nicola Willis - but never in 30 years of journalism and political reporting have I resorted to using the C-word like Andrea Vance did in her stuff column. Not necessary and not defendable. And joining me t...

Today on the podcast... This government is almost at the halfway mark. What’s it achieved? What has it done and how do the ministers rank? Here’s my take!

Today on the show... Just weeks ago we were voices in the wilderness pressuring the Government to do something about the grip social media appeared to have on our under 16-year-olds. Now the Government has reacted to a pressure group being set up. They are trying to get ahead of the issue now and this will require some swift action! And, we chat to Anna Curzon, co-chair of B416, the group pushing...

Today on the show... The lengths Te Pati Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is now going to back track over the leaking of the highly confidential privileges committee report is astonishing. She is even willing to throw a junior, no-name staff member under the bus. What kind of leader is that? And it's been a big week in NZ politics! We're going to break it all down for you. I'm joined by forme...

Today on the show... The Government moves to limit pay equity claims. It is a huge blow to female workers. The PM’s popularity with women voters is already low, where will this take it and why has all this happened under urgency and so quickly without scrutiny? Also my survey of 200 mature voters. What did they tell me? Plus some Letters to the Editor! Website: https://www.rova.nz/home/podcasts/du...

Today on the show... Tough times and it’s hard to make a buck. But not for Westpac here in NZ. It’s profits are up 10%. The margin the bank charges its Kiwi clients is up as well.

Co-founder of Simplicity, Sam Stubbs joins me and we will pick them to pieces. Plus so...

Today on the show... Unemployment is expected to rise when the latest stats come out in a few days. So why, when 220,000 people are on the jobseeker benefit, are we directly importing 20,000 direct foreign workers this year alone into the country to work on farms and orchids? It doesn’t make sense! And how can we give employment opportunities to our youth? Recruitment Consultant Zainab Ali and You...

Today on the show... Have fewer ministers! Have fewer ministries! Cut costs! Cut jobs! It all sounds good but MMP is about appeasing all parties and Ministerial jobs are created not cut back.

Today on the show... Should our top politicians and public servants be held responsible and accountable for their actions, rather than just being voted out? They never truly are, so lets change that. And they are the old children’s health camps. They now take in our most vulnerable young people - Stand Tū Māia. The Government controversially cut their funding then gave them a short term extension....

Tory Whanau has bowed out of the Wellington Mayoralty race, saying she now wants to run for the Greens in the Māori ward as a councilor only. This is an attempt at saving face - I doubt many will fall for it.
