102 DAVID SEYMOUR: SCRAP NET ZERO?! | FREE IRAN, KIWIMART & RELIGION

Episode 102 and this one goes everywhere.David Seymour joins us for his weekly Tuesday catchup and we get properly into ACT’s climate policy. The Zero Carbon Act, whether New Zealand should keep chasing Net Zero 2050, the Climate Change Commission, the ETS and whether our climate targets should actually depend on what our major trading partners are doing.We also talk about National picking up versions of ACT policies, the proposed Local Tourism Dividend and then I put David to the test to see how well he actually knows his own ACT candidates 😂Tama Singh is back for Tama’s Takes. We get into the Greens wanting a publicly owned supermarket chain with KiwiMart, the Lindsay Clancy case and where mental illness meets personal responsibility, the whole “liberal white woman” conversation and another round of Fair Point or Bad Take.Dom from Avons Butchery joins us for his weekly yarn and we talk about why everyone seems so easily offended these days, mental health, whether the UFC should keep Michael “Venom” Page, illegal immigration into the UK and the big one... is religion a scam?Then Sana Oladi from Free Iran Unity NZ joins us for a proper conversation about what is happening inside Iran, what ordinary Iranians risk by speaking out, the role of women and young people, Crown Prince Reza’s principles, whether reform is even possible, what a free Iran could look like and what New Zealand should be doing to support the Iranian people.We also get into whether the IRGC should be designated a terrorist organisation, surveillance concerns for Kiwi Iranians and how to separate genuine information from propaganda coming from all sides.Climate, supermarkets, mental health, religion, immigration, Iran and plenty more.
