We discuss the train wreck of UK politics and how it’s indicative of right-wing reactionary drift in western democracies. The US is playing the same game as it continues supporting a genocide and implementing Trump-era policy under a Democratic president. And things aren’t much better here in Aotearoa, either.

CW: Sexual Assault/Rape as pertaining to US Presidents
We discuss Trump’s guilty charges and what effect that will have on US politics, NZ’s “Budget Week’ and National’s broken promises to cancer patients, alongside the failure of Labour to capitalise on National Party inadequacy and rally the electorate. Meanwhile Te Pāti Māori have begun protest actions this week - how does that operate and why aren’t more people supporting them on the left? And how corrupt can National be before it comes back to bite them?This episode’s co-hosts

We try to fit as much of the week’s topics into a single episode, and fail miserably. Iran’s president died, John Key named in a civil suit, the bs being pushed by National about Kāinga Ora, Kanaky protests, the ICC and ICJ took action and the UK announced a snap election.

Whirlwind podcast trying to cover as much horrible stuff as possible - the National coalition’s war on kids continues with school lunch cuts, Luxon is swiftly coming unstuck as his coalition partners put him in bad situations, the US politics of genocide is horrific as always and why does the left have to stay so goddamn civil while our opponents lose their minds?

We talk US college campuses and crackdowns on protest, the complicity of University administrations in authoritarian actions and how this looks in the NZ context. Josephine is recently back from India where national elections are just getting underway, we discuss democracy in the Global South. And Winston Peters is making a joke of NZ again with his recent comments about an Australian politician and AUKUS.
(The title refers to NYPD finding a copy of the so-titled textbook and attempting to use it as evidence against campus protestors.)

Lots to discuss in domestic NZ politics this week, but we start with the discovery of mass graves in Gaza and the response to that on US university campuses. In NZ the National coalition is going after the gangs and few people are speaking out for human rights for fear of the association. Two ministers are demoted within 6 months and a third has been summonsed by the Waitangi Tribunal - where are the narratives about chaos and instability?

Lots in the news on the news this week with major decisions being made for both Newshub and TVNZ. Is Murdoch eyeing up NZ shores? We discuss the cynicism and nastiness of the Cass Report and the stitch up between political and media classes to attack trans healthcare. And government corruption is at a premium as the Fast Track process gathers momentum.
