1/200 hosts Greens candidate Louise Hutt to discuss the challenges and issues in the Hamilton West electorate. The electorate has many of the same concerns as the rest of Aotearoa during this Cost of Living Crisis, and there’s plenty of opportunity for progressive policy. We talk Te Huia trains, environmental policy, infrastructure and candidate safety. https://www.greens.org.nz/volunteer This episode’s co-hosts Kyle, Simone, Pmax Timestamps 0:00 Opening / Introductions 2:37 Campaigning  4:01 NZ First  8:33 Hamilton 14:36 Profile and Safety 23:30 Why Doesn’t Safety Get Airtime 28:43 Hamilton West 34:08 PC1 36:49 Public Transport 45:00 Broader Appetite for the Greens 51:00 Making Public Works Public 56:59 Best Interactions 59:53 Closing Intro/Outro by Jiahu Symbols Support us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

We host Mahdis Azarmandi and David Small to discuss the lack of foreign policy discussion during an election where the global political environment should be at the forefront of our minds. From the macro state of geopolitics, to the ways in which our parliamentary parties are being pulled into, or are complicit in, a western chauvinist consensus that may leave us dangerously vulnerable.

Tony Greenstein, author of Zionism During the Holocaust, discusses the history of Zionism and anti-Zionism. Zionism before World War II was a minority position among Jews mostly associated with elite and right-wing politics. Political Zionism was a Christian invention first and has always had a strong affinity with antisemitism, to the extent that many Jewish Zionists have expressed support for antisemitism. Many were themselves profoundly antisemitic. Tony describes the price he has paid for being a premature anti-Zionist and for failing to compromise his principles. He has been expelled from UK’s Labour and Green Parties. He was also charged under the UK’s terrorism act and faced 14 years in prison. Rather than leaving the matter to his barrister, Tony gave his own speech to summarise his defence – a speech that has since been published around the world.

We discuss the return of Alliance Party to national politics in Aotearoa. Their values and platform are explicitly on the left. So we asked them about who they are, how they see the current political environment and where they are winning support. What are they adding to the campaign? What is working? What are their plans for the future?

Our guest Moko talks about the encampment in the red zone of Ōtautahi/Christchurch where he lives.

With the third reading of the Summary Offences (Move-on Orders) Amendment Bill having just passed, we discuss the politics of housing and the culture within the agencies that offer assistance.

Kieran interviews David Gerard, author of Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain, who discusses the continuity of grift that saw the crypto bros pivot to AI for their next scam. This forced David to also pivot to AI by starting a blog and youtube channel called “Pivot to AI”. David is at pains to stress that this is not really a tech story, it is a financial and economic story above all else. Unlike related tech, the LLM technology of the headlining hyperscalers is not a viable industry. The bubble must burst at some point. The grifters are extending the scam to try to flog the worthless equity off before then. The bubble burst will very likely create more that just a recession. David’s advice is to compost or tax billionaires out of existence. And also to start helping those around you, because we are going to need to look after each other. pivot-to-ai.com This episode’s co-hosts Kieran Intro/Outro by Jiahu Symbols Support us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
