TL;DR: The podcast above of the weekly ‘hoon’ webinar for paying subscribers last night features co-hosts Bernard Hickey and Peter Bale talking about revolts against the Government over austerity and disinformation by directors and staff alike at Te Whatu Ora-Health NZ, adding to the Kāinga Ora board revolt last month

They also spoke to:

* The Kākā’s climate correspondent Cathrine Dyer on a big new global study on the dangers and opportunities from Aotearoa’s surge in methane emissions from cows, along with Air NZ’s decision to pull out of a global emissions reduction compact. She referred to The Kākā’s weekly climate wrap out for all today and we talked about comments in 2011 by then PM John Key;

* Special guest Vic Crockford on housing and homelessness. Vic was the CEO at Community Housing Aotearoa (CHA) and is now the chair of the Coalition to end Women’s Homelessness, which just published this blog post on the issue. She referred to these two Listener-$$$ articles about women’s homelessness here and here; and,

* Whangārei A&E doctor Dr Gary Payinda on the health crisis.

The Hoon’s podcast version above was recorded last night during a live webinar for over 120 paying subscribers and was produced by Simon Josey.
