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”.

We discuss personality politics in NZ. Chris Bishop had an outburst at the AMAs. Our Deputy Prime Minister has passed the baton. Jacinda Ardern's book is out. Usually we try to avoid focusing on personalities in politics, but this week we ask... what if they matter? with Philip, Stephanie, Simone

We discuss the multitude of ways in which the establishment, both political and media, is aligning against opposition from progressive groups. From the suspension of Te Pāti Māori MPs to the full press against the Green’s alternative budget, it has never been clearer that these institutions are acting in class solidarity with the powerful.
