Just listening to Duncan Greive's 7 May special edition of The Fold on the government's decision to abolish the BSA;
https://thespinoff.co.nz/podcasts/the-fold
I stand corrected on my suggestion that the BSA could theoretically accept complaints against podcasts. Greive mentioned that "on demand" services are specifically exempted from BSA jurisdiction. Confining them to regulating only live broadcasts.

NZ got proportional representation elections, in the end, kind of by accident. With 1980s Labour PM David Lange misreading his notes and committing to it, and when Labour reneged, National leader Jim Bolger promised a referendum on it. Thinking kiwis would never vote for it.
Juggernaut talks about all this in s02e04;

What Juggernaut doesn't cover in any detail is the years of grassroots campaigning that preceded all this.

"There's no god given right for a major party to stay a major party. You have to earn that."
#HelenClark, 2025

You listening to your former leader Labour? If you don't step up next year - much more ambitiously than in 2020-23 - you've earned exactly what will follow.

"Now what happens to Winston Peters doesn't matter. But what happens to the people does."
#WinstonPeters, Juggernaut 2, ep 2, 2025https://thespinoff.co.nz/podcasts/juggernaut
It's hard to believe now given the smiling crocodile he's become. Political principles up for auction, doing whatever is best for Winston Peters and bugger anyone else. I think at the time he really meant this.
His corruption is perhaps the saddest political story of NZ corporatism.

"More than a million people are affected by the cuts. The worst hit are 20-24 year olds on the dole. Their benefit drops by 25%, to $108 a week. Adjusted for inflation, that would be about $235 in 2025.
Sickness beneficiaries under 25 lose 20% of their income, down to $130 a week. $282 in today's money."

I presume anyone who wants to understand NZ politics has listened to The Spinoff's Juggernaut podcast, about the 1984-90 Labour government. But did you catch up with the fact that the second season of Juggernaut is out, telling the story of the 1990s National government?
https://thespinoff.co.nz/podcasts/juggernaut
The first 3 episodes are out now.

His job could have been saving people's lives, but instead it's persuading them they want stuff. That's heartbreaking.
