Best Mark McLellan Podcasts (2024)

In Canterbury we talk about things happening pre-earthquake and post-earthquake. And I’ve been trying to remember what things were like pre-earthquake when it comes to road cones. Because after the quakes there were road cones everywhere and, on the first few anniversaries, we had people putting flowers in road cones around town. I remember on the …

John MacDonald: Hey KiwiRail, come clean or be cleaned-up 5:05

3d ago5:05

I think we’ve reached the point where people are going to be asking themselves not only “if I book a ticket on the Interislander, how confident can I be that they won’t cancel on me?” I think we’re at the point now we’re people will also be asking themselves how safe they feel using the service. I was talking to someone who said after this news abo…

John MacDonald: My one reservation about universal road charges 4:39

4d ago4:39

4:39

I bet if you drive a petrol vehicle and you’ve said anything about how much cheaper it must be to have a diesel, anyone who does have a diesel has jumped down your throat and started banging-on about road user charges. Or RUCs, as they’re known. Because when you buy petrol you pay a fuel tax. When you buy diesel, you don’t. But you have to —or you’…

John MacDonald: On yer bike Darleen 4:50

5d ago4:50

4:50

There is a very fine line between being highly principled and high-and-mighty. And I think the Green Party has crossed that line. Even though the Greens think their now-ex list MP Darleen Tana is so bad that they want her out of Parliament altogether, and even though there is legislation that would enable them to make that happen, we’ve got this ci…

John MacDonald: You might not love it - but it's the only option 4:36

6d ago4:36

4:36

I don’t love the idea, but I’m willing to accept it. That’s how I’d describe my stance on paying a toll charge to use a piece of road. Just like when pay TV became a thing in New Zealand. I didn’t like it, but I accepted it. So what’s happened, is that NZTA and the Government have announced that they expect work on the new Belfast to Pegasus motorw…

John MacDonald: Who should set the speed limit on your street? 5:30

9d ago5:30

5:30

Even though the air temperature was down around the minus-4 mark in Canterbury this morning, there would have been no shortage of muppets driving as if it’s the middle of summer. You know, the speed limit’s 50kph or 80kph or 100kph and that’s the speed I’m going to go. Don’t worry about the fact that there’ll be some other clowns driving around wit…

There are going to be some noses out of joint today, with this announcement from the Government about what it’s going to do to try and sort out the shortage of houses in this country.

John MacDonald: Mark and Paul - Facebook friends no more 5:50

There’s a thing in politics called “optics”. Which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s all about being seen to do something. It’s also about how people see whatever it is you’re doing. You know: “Mmmm, how will this look, do you reckon? What will people think when they see us doing this, do you think?" And that is exactly what’s behind the Governm…

John MacDonald: There is no finish line for boy and girl racers 5:12

13d ago5:12

5:12

When I heard on Friday morning that the cops had been out in force the night before cracking down on boy racers, I thought two things. My first thought was ‘that’s great, I hope they do it again right through the weekend’. And the reason I thought that - and it was purely selfish - was because, with the kids home from uni, I knew a couple of them w…

John MacDonald: The Covid inquiry is messy - but a must-have 4:57

This might be because I’m still recovering from the Bird Flu/Man Flu combo that had me stuck in bed last week. Or maybe, on this occasion, Winston Peters is actually making sense. Either way, I agree with him that it’s Mickey Mouse that we have an epidemiologist who was involved in our COVID response, leading the inquiry into it. The Royal Commissi…

When I was off sick last week, I was crook enough to need to see a couple of doctors. And I’m very glad Chris Hipkins wasn’t one of them. Because, if he had been and if he was true to the noises he’s been making about the Government’s big cancer drugs announcement yesterday, then he’d probably spend all his time apologising to me for taking too lon…
