03/09/24 • 60 min

Description

We cover the week’s events once again! Gaza and reporting in the west continues to be a major issue, the US continues to be complicit. Journalism is struggling, particularly in NZ, how much is it a marketing and structural failing? The National coalition is cutting everything and attacking the vulnerable while also criminalising - why are they bringing back bootcamps?
