Solid Ground – 22 October 2026

In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon breaks the news that the High Court has ruled against the government’s ban of puberty blockers. He then briefly comments on the latest leader and minor leaders debates, leaving the deeper discussion to Political Playback (tonight, 5pm).

Simon then talks the very telling decision of Green and Maori Party MPs visiting a criminal gang and suggesting they are victims, rather than those they cause much harm too.

He finishes by looking at what is happening in France, explaining some of the factors driving the violence.
