On this week's podcast:
In January, I picked up a book in Australia by American author Bill Gertz. Called DECEIVING THE SKY: INSIDE COMMUNIST CHINA'S DRIVE FOR GLOBAL SUPREMACY, the book makes for a fascinating discussion.
I've been looking forward to talking to Gertz. Now you can hear it.
I have commentary on George Pell's acquittal and the death of Dr Fred Singer.
I briefly address Auckland governance and prime examples of media bias.
Carolyn, as expected, appears with correspondence and some cheap shots at your host.
