About this episode

Duncan Garner discusses media trust issues and interviews David Seymour about ACT's immigration policy.

In this episode, Duncan takes a deep dive into the anatomy of the New Zealand media and why trust in legacy outlets is hitting new lows. He stayed silent on the story for so long. Duncan also addresses allegations made in Barry Soper’s new book, pointing out what he claims are significant omissions regarding the veteran journalist's own past. We are also joined by ACT Leader and Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour to discuss the party's latest immigration strategy. Seymour explains the push for a five-year welfare stand down for new residents and the introduction of an infrastructure levy to ensure migrants contribute to the country's growing needs. We also touch on the rising numbers of unskilled workers and the pressure on Auckland's infrastructure and schools. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
