StraightTalk - 8 June 2026

In this episode we discuss: the case of Henry Nowak in the UK and is it the tipping point for a death to DEI; would it actually be “helpful” to have a conversation about New Zealand’s anti-nuclear stance; the vice chancellor of Otago University - which has a medical school, by the way - is upset & disturbed with a bill that wants to define what a woman is based on biological truth; is the Government being uncharitable with their limits on the donation rebate just announced in the budget; and two quick questions at the end – should we extend bereavement leave from three days to 10 days, and should we fund mums to stay in hospital for up to three days after giving birth (which only a woman can do, by the way).
