Slam Dunc #144 - Why I feel sorry for Tory Whanau

2023/11/30

Wellington mayor Tory Whanau has come out and admitted she has a problem with alcohol. Why people feel the need to film public figures living their supposedly private lives is another story, but this is not the first instance of publicly elected officials and alcohol not mixing well. However, I have a sense we could be seeing some double-standards at play here...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief ·

2023/11/29

I find it extraordinary that in 2023 I'm even saying something like this but has this new government traded peoples lives in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthy? I am of course talking about the decision to scrap New Zealand's world-leading 'generation ban' on smoking. Some health experts are saying this repealing could cost up to 5,000 lives per year. It is morally bankrupt, and I am utterly stunned.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gay or straight, black or white, big or small - human beings are all different.

I'm an 'active relaxer'. I struggle to sit still for too long. I like doing stuff.

However, I've recently found something that seems to be helping with the sleeping blues..See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
