Pharmac: Rachel Smalley on advocacy and transparency...

Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief ·

2023/10/10

What happens when a renowned journalist confronts a seemingly untouchable pharmaceutical authority? Rachel Smalley dared to do just that. Emails from Pharmac staff personally attacking Smalley, obtained under the Privacy Act, appear to reveal an alarming lack of focus, empathy and priority in the leadership group. I think heads need to roll. Immediately. Pharmac was established with the noble intention of regulating New Zealand's pharmaceutical industry in the mid-90s. However, the unchanging

Now, nearly 35 years later, there would hardly be a person in New Zealand or Australia who hasn't heard Suzanne Paul's distinctive accent promoting the latest must-have gizmo.

2023/10/04

Today we delve into the world of consumer affairs with Consumer NZ's head honcho Jon Duffy. For decades Consumer NZ has been fighting for our consumer rights by shining spotlights on those who need to be shown up and holding those to account who try and pull a fast one on the unsuspecting public. In this enlightening conversation we address a wide array of consumer-focused topics including airlines, banks and of course supermarkets.

In what turned out to be one of the PM's last engagements before testing positive for COVID-19, Hipkins speaks refreshingly openly and honestly. Has he finally brought his A-game to the campaign?

2023/09/28

She will be familiar to most Kiwi's as the smiling, car-loving Tina from Turners. Or perhaps from the last season of Taskmaster NZ, where amongst other things she got a tattoo of the other contestants on her arm. Her real name is Sieni Leo'o Olo, though her stage name (she is a comedian) is Bubbah, and she is an absolute delight to talk to. Refreshingly genuine, if not a bit... odd. She can also lift up the Editor in Chief as I discovered in one of my more unusual interviews yet... Chapters: 3:43 -

He is also well-known as one of New Zealand's most prominent NZ Warriors supporters.
