The Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda
The Frontline with Dr Gary Payinda
Podcast Description
The Frontline is where we talk about whether there might be a better way to build a stronger nation than privatising our essential public services, and lavishing taxpayer billions on the very rich.
Join Dr Gary Payinda on The Frontline to talk about how we can win. How we can build a stronger New Zealand, one that takes care of ALL of its people. A New Zealand that serves the PUBLIC interest, not just the PRIVATE profit.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast centers on themes of public service reform, social justice, and economic equity, with episodes tackling topics such as nurses' working conditions and government accountability, illustrated by discussions like those with NZ Nurses Organisation's Dawn Barrett about staffing and pay challenges in the healthcare sector.
Frontline Kiwi workers are struggling to pay for food and rent, while politicians are giving away billions to the very rich. Public services are being cut back, privatised, and sold off. This is not how you build a stronger, healthier, or safer society. It’s time to stop the vandalism and rebuild NZ.
Join Dr Gary Payinda and guests on The Frontline.
Today Elliot Crossan, author and activist with System Change Aotearoa, is talking with The Frontline about neoliberalism's original grandparents: Roger Douglas and Ruth Richardson. They destroyed our social safety net 40 years ago, and started the movement that saddled us with ACT and David Seymour, and they ain't done yet.
Like our current government, they were the worst of their generation, and like this one too, they created social and economic damage that would go on to affect the average New Zealander for decades to come.
