Today on the show…
- This NCEA debacle has really frustrated me this week to the point that I'm actually angry about what our kids have been through and how much we have let them down.
- When I say ‘we’ I actually mean successive governments, education ministers, policy wonks, educators, education leaders and even teachers to a point.
- This is on you.. this is your area of expertise and you've used our kids as guinea pigs in a flakey system

Councillors Vote to Shelve Co-Governance Agreement!
Today on the show…
- You were demanding it be put on hold and you’ve had a victory! Is this a real blow for co-governance? Sure it is. For now.
- Will locals now get to have their say? I’m not so sure about that. But the secretive joint management agreement between the Taupo District Council and local iwi Ngati Tuwharetoa which was meant to pass late last week has been put on hold by councillors who refused to play ball.
- Christine Rankin is one of them. She joins me to discuss it all.
- Plus some Letters to the Editor!

NCEA is a Disaster – Erica Stanford on Why It’s Time for Change
Today on the show…
- I’m joined tonight by Education Minister Erica Stanford for an exclusive one on one chat about the gutsy and overdue call to dump NCEA in our schools.
- Across 23 long, wasted years and NINE Ministers - we have sat by and watched thousands of kids go through the failed system. These kids have been able to game the system, get credits without doing much and pass before the end of year exams so they don’t show or don’t care.
- A hopeless qualification that is not recognised by anyone, and finally a Minister with a plan, some guts and a tone of ambition for our young teenagers has acted and decisively so.
- Plus some Letters to the Editor!

Is the Greyhound Racing Industry Misunderstood?
Today on the show…
- The Greyhound racing industry says Winston Peters decision to wind it down and ban all races from July next year is the wrong one. It was rushed and done without proper consultation.
- Tonight we will speak to a supporter of the industry and the owner of rehomed greyhounds. He says the industry has been treated poorly, and crucial facts which show the industry has cleaned itself up have been ignored.
- And it’s becoming clear the industry is also being blocked, muzzled and cancelled by the media. Tonight I will reveal that the Christchurch Press refused to run an open letter from Greyhound Racing NZ as part of an advertising feature they wanted to buy.
