- This week on the Raw Politics podcast: Is the Minister of the Week, Paul Goldsmith, an ideologue? Plus, awkward business closures for the coalition and Chris Hipkins' leadership.
He's hardening his own thinking and that of the Government on everything from gang patches to Māori customary marine rights, and smashing or blundering through official guardrails. Is Paul Goldsmith the National Party's quiet hatchetman?
Newsroom senior political reporter Marc Daalder, Newsroom Pro managing editor Jonathan Milne and co-editor Tim Murphy discuss the minister's harder line push this week on laws cracking down on gangs, changing his mind to allow police to search private homes for evidence of patches.
We ask if he is a natural anti-crime hardman or if he's being egged on by the fringe parties in the coalition and is enjoying their approval.
The Waitangi Tribunal report on the Government's planned amendments to the Marine and Coastal Areas (Takutai Moana) Act would have shamed any other minister at any other time, but its criticisms of Goldsmith for his motivation, facts, process, consultation and evidence have been ignored by the Government.
The panel discusses the latest industrial closure, of the Oji mill at Penrose, and how these kinds of events can unfairly, or fairly, lie at the feet of an incumbent government. Could the coalition have done more to save jobs here and in earlier regional closures, and would a Labour government have done anything differently?
Our reader question asks if Chris Hipkins is taking a risk heading to the UK for that country's Labour Party conference when a poll shows his personal rating plummeting for preferred Prime Minister. The panel is unmoved, despite Government MPs delighting in teasing Labour's caucus this week about a coup.
Finally, the panelists recommend something to read, listen to or watch on the weekend ahead.

Goldsmith done a poopoo with the seabed foreshore re-litigation when there is already a court case surrounding the issues before the courts.

Nationals racist legacy
They could introduce increased deductibility for power to 200%.
Go Paul.
Was not NZ a low energy supplier in the past?
Power! Use the tax deductibility of interest for landlords to give grants to landlords to install solar.
What?
Wonderful to hear you speak te reo Māori . Ka pai koutou katoa. I am impressed. Interesting that Luxon won't say ' Te Wiki o te Reo Māori'. He also says 'KO" for Kainga Ora .... He should make an effort at least, instead of spending so much time, making cringey TikToks.
I'm not afraid of using Te Reo Maori, I have, unfortunately, a good grasp of pigeon Maori or pigeon English, which I don't believe honors either languages. Really, I don't see the point in forcing NZers to learn to speak Maori, it's a unique language, like most languages , however English is widely used globally as the real Esperanto language and Maori is a local language of limited use. People may not agree, but it is a fact.
I reckon we should have speakers though. Nothing special about English on this land and people visiting aren't interested in it😂
I must say, while the odd structure of your post I found strangely compelling, I'm a little stumped as to what it's message is. There are two points that caught my eye though. One I completely agree with you on, I too don't see the point in forcing NZers to learn to speak Maori, in fact I'd say almost all Kiwis wouldn't, which is probably why no-one I know of is doing that. The second, was that I just wanted to point out how most tools are in fact of limited use (even those Swiss army knives with 72 different tools nightmarishly jammed together), and that it is for these limited use cases that we keep tools handy or actually have them at all.
@@JanjayTrollface Who is 'forcing' you to learn? You do realise that 'Kiwi' is a Māori word, don't you?
@@AngieSainty Yes, indeed I do know. I don't know of anyone who is forcing anyone else to learn Te Reo, which is what I wrote in my earlier comment, although I can see how it may be misunderstood.
No one is forcing ANYONE to learn te reo, why state that for?
I am no longer watching this Bye 👋
Bye
