  • Leighton Smith Podcast #262 - October 30th 2024 - Bryan Leyland and Christian Smith
    Oct 30 2024

    Power supply issues are challenging much if not most of the world - why? Could it be the recklessness of net zero?

    Power engineer Bryan Leyland expresses serious concern, as shortages translate into higher prices.

    At the same time, Australia is talking increasingly about Nuclear power - shouldn’t we?

    Meanwhile, a Telegraph article in London suggests that the young are fleeing Britain. Christian Smith updates his views on life in the old country.

    We attend to aspects of the Presidential election, and visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #261 - October 23rd 2024 - Judge Anthony Willy
    Oct 23 2024

    An insidious phenomenon has become widely evident around the western world, and it is alive and well in New Zealand.

    The attack has been against every institution that props up the pillars of our democratic freedom.

    Retired Judge Anthony Willy justifies his accusations (from his essay “Blowing In the Wind”, NZCPR.com).

    It’s an important document that should be studied in every school.

    We have comment on the Presidential election, with only two weeks to go.

    And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

  • Leighton Smith Podcast #260 - October 16th 2024 - Roger Partridge
    Oct 15 2024

    “Who Makes the Law? Reining in the Supreme Court”.

    This report by Roger Partridge, lawyer and Chairman of the NZ Initiative, challenges the Supreme Court’s overreach or activism in recent cases and the constitutional implications.

    Judicial activism is in a word, dangerous for democracy.

    This is a most important matter and it needs the attention of Parliament.

    And we venture into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
