StraightTalk – 31 August 2026

In this episode of StraightTalk, we discuss: the Paris climate deal – should we stay or should we go; have the panelists made up their mind as to how they’re going to vote, and what would make them change their mind; which political party slogans are hitting the mark, and do they make any difference anyway; Bill Gates warns AI could lead to mass unemployment & cyberattacks, so which should we be more concerned about – AI or social media, or both; the state of Florida has become the first state to block welfare cash for tattoos, vapes theme park tickets, video games & pornography – should New Zealand do likewise; and is strategic voting in the election manipulating MMP or is it fair game.
