A political commentor spouting his unqualified nonsense about vaccines....sheesh, what's next, a plumber to tell us about rocket science? 'The Detail'....you've got to be joking.

I was a professional nurse in South Africa qualified for 20 years. Now permanent NZ resident. NZ nursing council declined my application for registration saying they don't accept my qualifications. No way into the profession here in NZ available to me, no return to work training or exam/evaluation offered to prove my competency. A flat no!

Ick. Where was the balance in that piece.. No reference to the role of US as a potential positive influence over the post war period, ensuring stability against increasing aggression from China. Also.. 'What are satellites?' ........ 'Good Question..' *Was it though???*

Correction, 0.4 ha is one acre, not a quarter, so it excludes most residential properties. Where is the proof reading, fact checking, credibility?

no mention of Kiwibuild or the decision to carry on with the drug testing of welfare beneficiaries? I guess the show itself is evidence of a post-truth era!

Would be great if the government led the way by transitioning their banking from Westpac to NZ banks.

So, doesn't this suggest we look seriously at high tech, low emission incineration instead of burying our rubbish? Great podcast, by the way, thanks.
