I wish I’d known her as an adult, and we could’ve laughed together

She trailed that oxygen around like a ball and chain. She did quit though by that point I think, the threat of combustion is pretty crazy to keep smoking. I cannot believe we’re giving tax allowances to Philip Fucking Morris. My grandma was one of my best friends and I was only 10 when she died.

We need reporters desperately. Meta has eroded the media landscape and the government’s lack of willingness to support a robust local media and instead often malign it is so gross. Kia kaha!!

To new panelist suggestions so feel free to suggest people with more of the voices you want to see. I’ve met a huge amount of great people in the shows history. And some … interesting ones. And some I fundamentally disagree with almost anything on but yet are still nice enough people.

I’ve been on it since I was 31, 20 years and have butted heads with all manner of right wing types. Genuinely offensive material has been very rare. And people like Boag with her rescue helicopter nonsense has been dropped. Former ACT mps have given me fuel for sure. I know they are always open..

And yes this is more responding to the comments than the OP.

This whole thread is entertaining reading. The panel isn’t meant to be objective. It’s an opinion show. It’s been that for 20 years. So don’t be surprised when you don’t agree with all the opinions eh. I certainly don’t.
