NEWSTALK ZB MIKE HOSKINGS
I have stopped listening to the rantings of Mike Hoskings on his AM show but today I was on the station by error and again I heard him showing no respect to our Prime Minister. He is like a ferrill cat sitting on a fence waiting to pounce. He is extremely rude to her at every interview and before Jacinda has a chance to answer one of his pre loaded questions he cuts her off and fires another question at her and if he doesn't get the answer he requires so he can be in the position of " got ya" he ramps up his rudeness. Recently he couldn't get a rise out of Chris Hipkins in an interview so he went to an ad break without even thanking Chris for being on his show and that was the end of the interview. I wonder if the Producers of the show ever listen to him.
By comparrision he never treated our past Prime Minister in that manner in an interview. Imagine Mike Hoskings living in America at the moment, he obviously does not appreciate the position we are in re Covid compared to most other countries in the world.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
