On this week's podcast:
New Zealand is confronted with numerous serious issues; economic, financial, social, governance, and more.
From the New Zealand Initiative, Executive Director Oliver Hartwich analyses what’s wrong and what needs to be done. Starting with the Public Service and Education.
We make comment on woke banking stupidity, and brainwashing versus critical thinking.
And we take you to The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
