Lawyer Sam Vincent joins us LIVE at 9pm to talk about the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa accusing some Government Ministers and businesses of having complicity in Israel’s war crimes. The PSNA have identified Chris Luxon, Winston Peters, Judith Collins who they say have approved NZ military and intelligence support for Israeli war crimes and Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Rakon’s Sinan Altug who have launched spy satellites which Israel uses to target civilians in Gaza and supplied military-grade crystal oscillators to the US to be put in missiles which Israel can deploy in Gaza and elsewhere respectively. These individuals and businesses have been referred to the International Criminal Court by the PSNA.

Childcare rebates from the Government's flagship FamilyBoost scheme will rise with eligibility expanded, Finance Minister Nicola Willis has announced.

The right have been screaming isolationist policies for past few years. We've heard "USA first" form the likes of Trump and "UK First" from right wing commentators like Matt Goodwin and the likes of Reform UK. This passionate, foundational, never compromise desire seems to disappear though when Israel gets mentioned by the same groups or people.
