Episode Details

Six people are dead, and the questions won’t go away.

On this episode of Duncan Garner: Editor in Chief, we dig into what’s being called an avoidable tragedy and why so many warnings appear to have gone unanswered.

We look at the role of the council, the one-one-one system, and the decisions made years earlier that may have destabilised the land. Were people too slow to act, too afraid to make a call, or trapped in a system drowning in process and paperwork?

We’re joined by Christine Rankin and Ashley Church for a frank discussion about responsibility, bureaucracy, political leadership, and whether New Zealand has lost the ability to make common-sense decisions when it matters most.

We also break down the latest political poll and what it says about Labour, National, and the rise of Winston Peters.
