In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon asks why New Zealand’s diesel prices have risen almost the highest in the world; highlights a small but important legal win concerning puberty blockers; and reminds viewers that Sall Grover’s court case is decided this week.
He also discusses how various people try to use intersectionality to excuse their poor decisions and behaviours, trying to turn the focus from what they have done to who they are. Simon also challenges mainstream media to ask questions of themselves around the decline in trust, rather than only blaming external factors.
