Winston Peters Takes Aim at India Trade Deal: Kiwi Jobs at Risk?

Duncan Garner goes straight at a deal most people weren’t watching. Just before Christmas, New Zealand quietly agreed to a free trade deal with India. On paper it’s being sold as a win. In reality, there’s a clause that changes everything. For the first time, New Zealand has agreed to uncapped numbers of Indian students. No ceiling. No off switch. Full work rights during and after study. We dig into why Winston Peters is openly opposing the deal, why he’s calling it reckless, and why this could become a major election-year fight. We look at what this means for young Kiwis already struggling to find work, pressure on housing and infrastructure, and whether New Zealand has signed away control of its own immigration settings. This isn’t about race. It’s about public policy, sovereignty, and decisions made behind closed doors that could shape the country for decades. Learn more about your ad choices.

Are Kiwis Falling Behind on Savings?

Today on the show... They've done it - our All Whites are off to the World Cup! But hold on... where exactly are they from? If you looked at their jerseys, you wouldn’t see 'New Zealand' anywhere - just 'Aotearoa.' Does this rebrand make sense on the world stage, or is it virtue signaling gone too far? Are we saving enough for retirement? The Retirement Commissioner, Jane Wrightson, says no - and she wants the government to step up. Should KiwiSaver be compulsory? Should we be putting in more? And why are we so far behind Australia? And some Letters to the Editor! Website: https://www.rova.nz/home/podcasts/duncan-garner---editor-in-chief.

SLAM DUNC: Why are the Media Giving Jacinda an Easy Ride?

Today on the show... Does the media go harder on political leaders on the right, therefore exposing their bias towards those on the left? Overwhelmingly, I'd say yes - and the mainstream media has just given us another reason not to trust them. It's the way they are interviewing Jacinda Ardern - who has suddenly made herself available from America because she wants to push her new book and get the sales up - but there is suddenly something in it for her so here she is...
