Dieuwe de Boer and William McGimpsey discuss the media's obsession with the school lunch story in New Zealand, the potential hostile takeover of NZME by Canadian billionaire Jim Grenon, and the political stance of Luxon's leadership. They also analyse the recent resignations and sackings in New Zealand, the need for institutional reform, and Richard Prebble's resignation from the Waitangi Tribunal. Plus the Ukraine situation and Trump's approach to Russia as part of a larger strategy to rebalance global power dynamics.
