The Prime Minister says he's open to following Australia's lead in looking into banning social media for children. Law-makers across the Tasman will legislate a blanket a ban on social media for children under 16 – including the likes of TikTok, Facebook and X. Christopher Luxon says there's merit to the plan, especially given the incidence of cyber-bullying he's heard about in New Zealand.

It comes after the council's been forced to re-write its Long Term plan, after reversing its decision to sell its shares in Wellington Airport.

What the Hell Is Going On
WTH is the Republican Primary Forecast? Josh Kraushaar on the Growing Field

What the Hell Is Going On

Play Episode Listen Later May 31, 2023 52:43


Last week saw two more entrants into what is already a crowded Republican primary field: Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) are officially in the running. Polling suggests that DeSantis is the only real challenger to Donald Trump, but the party base can only hope that his glitchy Twitter announcement doesn't belie a deeper weakness in the candidate's campaign. Tim Scott, by contrast, has embraced a more traditional roll out and uplifting Reaganite rhetoric, but enjoys far less popularity right now. There is a fine line to toe in the Republican primaries – too few challengers may cede the field to Trump; but too many entrants could fracture the non-MAGA voting bloc into ineffective camps, also handing the primaries to Trump. Meanwhile, the Democrats are hedging their bets with a “known known” and sticking with Biden… so is a Trump-Biden rematch inevitable? If not, does the GOP have the political dexterity to capitalize on this unique election cycle and an increasingly diverse voter base? Josh Kraushaar is the editor-in-chief of Jewish Insider. He is also a Senior Political correspondent at Axios, Fox correspondent, and host of the Against the Grain podcast.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins was asked about his Government's approach to taxation in his first question time, but got caught out making a mistake. Hipkins was asked about the proportion of taxation compared to national GDP and incorrectly stated the current Government was taking less tax out of the economy as a proportion of the economy. Treasury figures showed this was inaccurate, as GDP rose from 27 percent to 30 percent under Labour. Barry Soper, ZB's senior political correspondent says Chris Hipkins was forced to eat his words in front of National's Nicola Willis and Finance Minister Grant Robertson.

In the months leading up to the 2022 midterm elections, the Republican party projected a red wave of GOP wins across the nation. And the odds were good: Biden has delivered the worst inflation in 40 years, the worst collapse of real wages in four decades, the worst murder rate since 1996, and that's not all. His approval rating is abysmal, and of course, the party in power almost always loses seats in a midterm election. So why did the predicted red wave not only fail to materialize in full, but barely show up as a trickle? Although results are not final, one thing is certain: Trump lost big time, and DeSantis swept. While we wait for the runoff in Georgia (again), the GOP is asking itself what the hell is going on. Will someone emerge as a viable challenger to Team Trump? Can the Republican brand be repaired? These questions and more with our guest, Josh Kraushaar. Kraushaar is a Senior Political correspondent at Axios, and host of the Against the Grain podcast.

On this weeks' 1News Inside Parliament podcast Political Editor Jessica Mutch McKay and Senior Political reporter Benedict Collins discussed an epic week at Parliament with changing leadership fortunes of the National Party. The team gave a blow by blow account of the weeks events from Judith Collins' late demotion of Simon Bridges to Christopher Luxon's ascension to the top job. Jessica Mutch McKay also gave an insight into the chaotic look of the coverage as the 1News political team literally chased the story. Benedict Collins talked about the bad political judgement of Judith Collins saying that ‘Not getting caucus onside & demoting Simon Bridges' was hitting the self-destruct button and that Judith Collins was almost getting things right up until then in terms of polling trends. He said 'The Government's not had a great couple of weeks but the coverage has been dominated by National's implosion when it should have been capitalising on the Government's weaknesses, adding it was real ‘smack your head against the wall stuff from National'. Our reporters also rated Christopher Luxon's first days as leader including questions over his property portfolio in a housing crisis and religious background. And on the day New Zealand rolled out the new COVID traffic light system, Jess and Benedict discussed where the Government has done well and where it hasn't.

Native Opinion Podcast an American Indian Perspective

HEMP VS POT? Tribes are considering starting crops for both Medical Marijuana, and Indian hemp. But should they? On this episode of Native Opinion, we discuss these issues and more! Discussion points with our guest, Ruth Hopkins: 1.) Excerpt: "Pot and Pretendians" Author: Ruth Hopkins Recently, officers in Sonoma County, California, confiscated marijuana plants from the Oklevueha Native American Church. Members of the church say the plants are sacred and used ceremonially. They’ve since taken the matter to Federal Court, suing Sonoma County, its Sheriff, and the Governor of California, claiming they’ve been discriminated against under the Constitution of the state of California, and alleging rights violations under the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. The members assert that marijuana is integral to their sacraments, just like peyote. There’s just one problem. It’s not. While I’m not a member of the Native American Church, I practice Dakota/Lakota spirituality, and marijuana has not, nor has it ever been, used as a part of ceremony. Claiming its part of our spirituality to avoid catching a case threatens the rights of actual Natives who deserve protection under the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. Yes, I said ‘actual Natives.’ You see, the Oklevueha Native American Church, established in April 1997 in Gunnison, Utah, doesn’t appear legitimate.   There is an old black and white hemp propaganda film which was released in 1942 called “Hemp for Victory”. I say propaganda because it was one of those old war time films. It really offers an insight into how we were and (arguably) are controlled by our government through ridiculous regulation, and as native people its even worse. It has always been our sovereign right to grow and harvest Hemp. There is a part in this firm directing farmers to register to be allowed hemp growers is interesting because in the film, the show a copy of the registration. Back then it was called a “Special Tax Stamp”. They were issued for one dollar. And in bold print is stated “Producer of Marihuana”. [Play Hemp for Victory]   "What is the difference between Hemp and Marijuana? A.) Genetics Cannabis is believed to be one of the oldest domesticated crops. Throughout history, humans have grown different varieties of cannabis for industrial and medical uses. Other plants were recognized for being psychoactive and were bred selectively for medical and religious purposes. This led to unique varieties of cannabis that we now know as marijuana. B.) THC Content Cannabis plants contain unique compounds called cannabinoids. Current research has revealed over 60 different cannabinoids so far, but THC is the most well known. THC is credited with causing the marijuana high. C.) Cultivation Hemp and marijuana are grown for different uses, and therefore require different growing conditions. Dan Sutton of Tantulus Labs, a Canadian company that specializes in cannabis cultivation technology, states “the core agricultural differences between medical cannabis and hemp are largely in their genetic parentage and cultivation environment.” Article Sources: http://www.leafscience.com/2014/09/16/5-differences-hemp-marijuana/ http://www.medicaljane.com/2015/01/14/the-differences-between-hemp-and-cannabis/ http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2015/12/21/pot-and-pretendians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMvvNnRjkOo   2.) Black Hills Sacred Site land in trust Why do the nine tribes constituting the Great Sioux Nation, including those on Pine Ridge, staunchly refuse to accept $1.3 billion from the federal government? The refusal of the money pivots on a feud that dates back to the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, signed by Sioux tribes and Gen. William T. Sherman, that guaranteed the tribes “undisturbed use and occupation” of a swath of land that included the Black Hills, a resource-rich region of western South Dakota. But in 1877, one year after Gen. George Armstrong Custer’s infamous defeat at the hands of Crazy Horse at Little Bighorn and without the consent of “three-fourths of all adult male Indians” stipulated by the treaty, the government seized the Black Hills, along with their gold, and began profiting from the protected land.   On November 30th, 2012, Rosebud Sioux Tribal Chairman Cyril “Whitey” Scott, the purchase of the sacred lands in the black ills as a done deal. “I can tell you that Pe' Sla, the sacred land on behalf of the Oceti Sakowin, is secured. The $9 million was secured, Pe' Sla has been purchased.”   Additional Article Sources: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/06/28/reclaiming-sacred-black-hills http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/north_america-july-dec11-blackhills_08-23/     3.) Should Tribes Trademark Their Names? In the United States, Native American names and symbols appear on many company products. Jeep Cherokee, Pontiac cars, Shawmut Bank, Mohawk Paper Company, Crazy Horse Malt Liquor and Sioux Industries are just a few examples. The federal and state systems of trademark registration can be a powerful way for Native American Nations to register and protect their names - and to stop companies from using their names on products, such as the Jeep Cherokee. trademark law regulates and protects the names and slogans that companies use to sell their products. The names and symbols of indigenous groups may be among the few remaining resources or cultural properties of many indigenous societies. Can the unauthorized use of Native names and symbols be stopped?
