Podcasts about government listen

Hayden and Cole are back for an unusual, primary, topic - you guessed it.... politics. To start off the conversation, Hayden and Cole share some recent thoughts on the NFL opening season and recap the dismal performance from the Cincinnati Bengals. From there, Hayden and Cole talk about whether or not there should be more terms limits in government, the pros and cons to term limits, do platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have too many inconsistencies when it comes to removing a user from a platform, do politicians have too much access to industry forecasts which give them an unfair advantage when it comes to investments? This episode is focused on critically thinking about some of these topics and forming your own educated opinion. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unscripted-exchanges/support

New Zealand's net migration has been negative since March 2021.    In the year to April, 8500 more people left than arrived, heaping pressure on businesses already battling with a major labour shortage.   Hospitals, schools, restaurants, hotels, banks and tech companies have all been calling on the Government to relax the immigration settings.   But will the Government listen? And how bad do things have to become for changes to occur?      Today, Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls joins Damien for a discussion about loosening the restrictions around fortress New Zealand.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

So let's try again, shall we?The co-governance paperwork is off to Cabinet today. It was delayed a week because of bereavement in the Willie Jackson family. So off we go again today.Jackson claims they have already had 70 hui. Now I don't know whether he means hui, as in the Maori word for meetings, was with all and sundry or was exclusive to Māori. I suspect it's the latter.The rest of us get to have a say, I use that term in the loosest possible way, at a later date. The reality is this will be your typical consultation. You say whatever you like, they nod, say thank you, and then ignore you.Anyway, Jackson claims he's had all sorts of feedback and is expecting it to get fairly extreme by the end of it all.I don't condone extreme. There is too much extreme all over the place these days. I don't know whether it's social media, Covid, the Government, or a combination of it all. But the mad stuff we have seen of late, whether it be the Parliament protest, the white supremacy stuff, the gang violence, the crime rate, or the vile postings of some on social media, the whole thing is out of control and we have lost a certain decency and decorum.Be opposed, be vehemently opposed, but do it with some brainpower, fact, and some eloquence.So, Jackson's onto it, this co-governance is trouble. It is trouble for a very good reason, it's dangerous. The danger comes from interpretation. The United Nations treaty that is quoted as being the justification for this is a document that is open to how you perceive it and react to it.It's not a prescription, it's not a dictate, it's an idea, and it's a concept. What Labour have done with it has allowed it to camouflage a dangerous agenda. Handing bits of the country over to anyone based on race is wrong. Having separate systems based on race is wrong.When things don't work, do them differently by all means but not so differently you leave large chunks, in this case, the majority of the population, either behind, offside or both.Old people don't get co-governance, the low socioeconomic strugglers don't get co-governance, and the Pacific Island community don't get co-governance.Those who need help of any description through the state get help from the duly elected government of the day. It's called democracy and despite its faults, we like it and can't think of anything better. Co-governance is certainly not even close to being better.I hope Willie Jackson and his mates hear that view loud and clear if they are even slightly open to listening to what any of us has to say.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sir John Key's piece yesterday was so good it ran front-page across two rival news websites. If you haven't read it, look it up. It's refreshing. You can't argue with common sense, and it was so fortifying to see someone being ambitious for our country, someone being sensible and forward-thinking and optimistic, someone not bogged down with fear and a hermit mentality.It laid bare what we've been missing all this time. Grown-ups. People with proper ideas and tangible solutions.When inexperience is at the helm, you get bogged down in the minutiae of laborious detail. The same way you get dragged into an argument with a toddler who refuses to put clothes on to go out into the cold. You find yourself pointlessly arguing at their level a thousand different ways. And I feel like that's what's been happening in the last few weeks with our Covid response. We've been getting bogged down in flawed ideology peddled by an inexperienced unambitious government, which has left us dissecting and debating stuff that isn't even worth the effort.When a grown-up steps in and says, ‘cut the crap, this is the way forward' and it makes sense, it's like a light goes on.Both Key and Michael Baker say it's a ‘marginalised' group holding us back. That's politically correct speak for ‘gangs' and people who can't be bothered. Those people are costing us mentally, psychologically, economically, and they're threatening our health system. So drill down on it. Forget the 1 pm sermons to the converted, forget the expensive ad campaigns on mainstream media outlets that these people will never tune into. ‘Get into the weeds' as they say in the corporate world.Most of the preaching about vaccinations is into the ears of the 80 per cent. We need to get into hard and fast detail on who this 20 per cent is, and target them at grassroots level. How old are they, where do they live, what's their level of education, are they in paid employment, do they have a criminal record, what's their health status, are they anti-vax, vaccine-hesitant, apathetic, afraid, anti-social?Use carrots not sticks. Punishment and fear is not working, and we're sick of it. Give them money. Look at what this is costing the country every day we're locked down. Estimates say Level 3 costs Auckland 350 million dollars per week. You can take your Shot Bro bus anywhere you like, it's not going to cut the mustard. We need more.So what's the government doing about it? How much research are they doing into who these people are and how to target them? Asking the hard questions and doing the hard work is our only way out of this. The time for spin, feel good cliches, cutesy bus names and modellers waving alarmist horror graphs is over. It shouldn't have ever got the airtime it did. The only way out of this is to wake up, get detailed, and get serious.
