This week’s pod pulls no punches - Chris Hipkins is grilled on why NZ joined National, ACT, and NZ First in refusing to recognise Palestine. The panel then tears into a CEO mutiny against PM Chris Luxon and Nicola Willis, pointing out the economy is tanking faster than a moa hunt with Shane Jones. Oil and gas exploration is back (because apparently climate change is fiction), while local elections are still outsourced to corporations, slashing turnout. It’s righteous fury, dark humour, and political firepower aimed squarely at a flailing Government.
