StraightTalk – 11 May 2026

In this episode we discuss: should 1News political editor Maiki Sherman have resigned for a so-called ‘homophobic slur’; we analyse the political earthquake in both Australia and the UK – and could it happen in New Zealand; could Labour and National ever form a coalition government together; from late 2027, those applying for citizenship will undergo the test. We ask the panelists what questions should be asked; and a new survey suggest that mental health, social media & screentime are some of the biggest concerns amongst young people.
