The Jim Allan commentary on the NZ Supreme Court’s Smith v Fonterra decision (Podcast 229) encouraged considerable reaction from the 'court of the pen’.
Foremost was correspondence from Gary Judd KC, who not only communicated to us but published a corresponding article in The Law Association’s LawNews.
Gary Judd expands on his views in podcast 231. Even a legal novice will find interest in it.
Elsewhere we have commentary on “saving the planet”, and the New York Democrat endorsing Trump.
And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
