  • Can a 'decent and thoughtful man' win in local politics?
    In this Frontline interview, I talked with Whangarei Mayoral candidate Ken Couper for an hour...all about local government. But don't wander off, because it was a conversation not just for Northlanders--we covered issues are of nationwide importance: poverty, co-governance, pollution, dairy farming, rising rates, the role of central government, the repeal of 3 waters, the collapse of chronically unmaintained local infrastructure, the anti-fluoride/anti-vax/anti-mandate fringe and the politicians who harvest them for publicity, showmanship vs substance in politics, the Haves vs Have-nots, unemployment, cost-of-living crisis, local apprenticeships, generational poverty, windfall profits, and education.The conversation goes beyond left and right, and it gives me hope that this dyed-in-the-wool National voter and dairy farmer is still just someone who wants the best for our region and our people. There's a message in our conversation that I believe National's upper leadership would do well to heed. The fast-tracking of greed and division is not how you build a better nation --  it's the path to a Pyrrhic victory: a quick win that does little more than tear up the social fabric that binds us together. We need to build a stronger and more humane country for the average New Zealander. Share this podcast, and follow my writing on Substack: https://substack.com/@drgarypayindaAnd check out: Fabricated Consent, Paul the Other One's helpful primer on what local communities are up against in this year's local council elections.

  • No legal requirement for an equitable health system via changes to Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act
    Alison McDougall is helping lead a citizen-run group called Protect Public Healthcare (PPH). They're publicising changes to the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act which is travelling a little under the radar at the moment even though submissions are open and some of what the government are 'amending' in this bill could cause serious issues for many in the public health system.

  • Empty threats: If they have to pay their fair share of taxes, they will leave
    Turns out it's not really true. 99.7 percent of them will stay. And the money they pay in taxes will help build our society up. A conversation on the Millionaire Migration Myth, with researcher Ed Miller of CICTAR.org.

  • On the backs of low-wage women: the secret schemes of a privatisation government
    Fleur Fitzsimons and the PSA (Public Service Administration) have served as the voice and conscience of the NZ worker in the fight against unjust government policies and at times scandalous politician rhetoric and behaviour. Today on The Frontline, we talk about both as we discuss the government's demolition of the Pay Equity Act, affecting 130,000 New Zealand working women and the families that depend on them.

  • The conflagration: How much more damage could they possibly do in another 18 months?
    Organising a resistance to the coalition can't wait until the next election. It's got to start now, locally. With strong resolve, and a fierce determination to avoid being divided-and-conquered by a government of, for, and by the rich.
