    Hong Kong today with Benedict Rogers

    Join me as I chat with Benedict Rogers of Hong Kong Watch, based out of London. We discuss the recently passed national security laws in Hong Kong and their chilling effect this has had on many basic freedoms. Ben and I also talk about a recent court case and why all of this matters for democracies such as New Zealand.

    The Push to Control Free Speech – With Jonathan Ayling

    Are you aware of the latest push to control speech and content in New Zealand?  I sit down the Chief Executive of the Free Speech Union, Jonathan Ayling, to discuss what the Department of Internal Affairs is proposing along with the latest results of the Free Speech Union survey on free speech in our universities – spoiler alert, the results are very worrying.
