• Leighton Smith Podcast #276 - March 19th 2025 - Michael De Percy

  Dr Michael De Percy is a Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Canberra. He graduated from both the Australian National University and the Royal Military College, Duntroon. He was also appointed to the Australian Research Council’s College of Experts in 2022. Sound interesting? I can only say that if he’d been my lecturer at ANU, I might well have chosen a different career path. We have an excellent Mailroom with Mrs Producer and finish with a critique of Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, courtesy of Amy Brooke.

• Leighton Smith Podcast #275 - March 12th 2025 - Rodney Hide

  Ex-politician Rodney Hide is fighting a battle. It began a couple of years ago, and it continues today. It involves the 'Relationship and Sexuality Education Curriculum' being taught in his daughter’s school. It’s actually taught in all schools. Rodney is not the only parent unhappy about what’s being taught, but he stands almost alone in trying to address it. To him it is a matter of principle. But we also discuss other matters- the RBNZ and Adrian Orr, Luxon and the National party, economic growth, and more. And we wind up in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

• Leighton Smith Podcast #274 - March 5th 2025 - James Roguski

  James Roguski is a fighter for what he regards as the truth. He is a researcher, author, natural health proponent and activist. Three years ago, Roguski uncovered documents regarding proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations and contributed to them being rejected. But the battle goes on. The WHO, mRNA, and other controversial areas are his concern. Controversial, yes, but worth listening to. We contribute information you’re unlikely to hear elsewhere on Trump, Zelenskyy, and the Oval Office debacle. And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

• Leighton Smith Podcast #273 - February 26th 2025 - George Friedman

  The unforeseen arrangements between China and the Cook Islands have induced greater interest in South Pacific geopolitics than we can ever remember. How we deal with this surprise confrontation will be fascinating to observe. One thing is obvious; the Kiwi's “benign strategic environment” has had its feathers ruffled. In 2019 George Friedman published “The Storm Before The Calm”, which suggested the sort of events we are now experiencing. George Friedman guests on Podcast 273. And, as ever, we round up with The Mailroom with Mrs Producer. File your comments and complaints at [email protected] Haven't listened to a podcast before? Check out our simple how-to guide.

• Leighton Smith Podcast #272 - February 19th 2025 - Muriel Newman and Michael Connett

  New Zealand and the Cook Islands agreements require regular consultation on defence and security issues. But the Cooks have just signed a secret partnership with China, catching the NZ government unawares. If that’s not bad enough, there is a second cause for major concern. It includes our Parliamentary Sovereignty, ownership of the entire NZ coastline and an activist Supreme Court indulging its collective ego. Muriel Newman, an ex MP (nine years) and the founder of the New Zealand Centre for Political Research (NZCPR.com), discusses the threats and dangers to the Parliament’s position as the country's ultimate lawmaker. And on the subject of courts, we catch up with Michael Connett, the lawyer who fought and won against the EPA (the Environment Protection Agency) over compulsory fluoridation. Whatever your thoughts on the subject, it’s a David and Goliath tale. And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
