We host Jen Shields and Alice Soper to discuss the sudden Ministerial direction to Sport NZ to remove transgender inclusion guidelines. We discuss the impact of this for trans people against a media backdrop that has failed to either adequately challenge anti-trans proponents or platform experts.

Local Govt NZ had their conference and it's becoming clear that central government only likes local democracy when it's convenient. Cost of living and homelessness increases for everyone except the elite. The Epstein and McSkimming cases in the news prompt a discussion about power, broader political risks and perverse incentives in a hierarchy.

We discuss the filthiness of right-wing discourse and strategy, particularly the latest targeting and smears by Ray Chung in Wellington. The ACT Party is moving openly further right, pulling NZ pol along with the aid of media. And across the West the “centre left” parties continue to accelerate rightwards themselves, could new parties and messaging ameliorate this?

We connect changes to early childhood regulations and criminal laws. The school to prison pipeline is being strengthened, with tragic effects. Finally, we briefly debate the story of New Zealanders being referred to the ICC.

Political communication, media and the divide in reality between the left and right of politics. We discuss Mamdani’s NYC Dem primary win, David Seymour’s attacks on public figures, the horrific behaviour by RNZ in their reporting on the death of a young transman and the transformation of the western elite into weird slop.

We interview Kieran Kelly about his recent trip to Egypt for the Global March to Gaza. The story of thousands of activists descending on Egypt tells us something about Israel's need to keep the international community on side. Then we discuss Gaza, the American Empire and Iran. How is the Israel/ USA/ Iran dynamic playing out? Where to next?

Covering domestic and international politics this week, we look at the way in which existing power structures, and even accountability measures, predominantly protect the status quo and the accelerating radicalism of capital. NZ is chucking out the census, ACT is becoming more brazen in its attacks on public figures, and the West gets ever twitchier about encroachments on “their turf”.
