This week we have somewhat an Education Policy special as the National coalition government continues using ACT as it’s proxy to push through destructive changes to the public service. We talk charter schools, unions, school funding, lunches, and “truancy”.

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.)

We’re joined by co-hosts Angela and John to speak with Jen Shields, the President of PATHA (Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa).

We discuss the recent Cass Review in the UK, what impact it has had overseas, and what we’re likely to see happen in NZ as we approach the release date for a report into healthcare here.

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?
