Show Notes
Winston Peters has detonated the week’s political story, promising to repeal the government’s new Regulatory Standards Bill. ACT’s David Seymour instantly shouted that Winston is eyeing up Labour. Really? We dig through what’s real, what’s theatre, and what’s pure Winston. Spoiler: it’s mostly Winston being Winston.
Duncan breaks down how this bill really came about, why ACT demanded it, and why National never cared much for it in the first place. We look at what this means heading into the next election cycle, and why coalition partners are already positioning themselves for 2026.
Maurice Williamson and Ashley Church join Duncan on the panel, to explain what’s actually in the bill, why it has barely any teeth, and why the conspiracy theories swirling around it are miles off. Then we dive into the brutal Ipsos polling, the Greens' mining shocker, the state of the public service, and the crumbling trust in mainstream media.
