Winston Peters has received backlash from the ambassador of China and former Prime Minister Helen Clark after racist comments made in the house on Wednesday to Green MP Lawrence Xu-Nan. 

Xu-Nan joins the show with Nick Mills this morning to share his reaction on the remarks, and the behaviour allowed in parliament.

When asked if he thought Peters was being racist, Xu-Nan said "the comments speak for themselves". 

He also bought up the lack of accountability from not only Peters, but the Prime Minister as the leader of cabinet. 

Xu-Nan said he has received an outpour of support, proving "there is more goodness here in Aotearoa New Zealand than a few comments here and there".

New Zealand's aged care system could be in for a shakeup to prepare the high volumes of Kiwi's that will need care.

By 2060 roughly one in four New Zealanders could be over 65.  

The new aged-care report 'A Place to Grow Old: Securing the future of aged care', contains 40 recommendations and says the existing system cannot meet demand safely, fairly or sustainably without major reform.  

 Aged Care Association CEO Hon. Tracey Martin joins the show to share possible solutions to this growing issue.

Is a change to the tax system the only way and could we use Australia's model for aged care funding?
