Episode Details

Alright, I’ve heard some dumb ideas in my time, but this one might take the cake. The Government’s actually floating the idea of banning people from rough sleeping in our city centres — banning homelessness.Then they deny it. Then they confirm it. Then they back-pedal. It’s like watching a policy written on a napkin after a long lunch.But here’s the real issue — you can’t solve homelessness by hiding it. You can’t PR-spin poverty out of existence. We’ve got people sleeping under bus stops in Auckland because there’s not even a men’s night shelter in our biggest city.I’m joined by Ashley Church and former National Minister Maurice Williamson, two sharp thinkers who don’t mince words.Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSypyI8wbnZgJDYY0VCdwJQ/join Get in touch with Duncan - duncan@rova.nz and join us on the socials.
