Last week I said that New Zealand was a quasi-Police state.

Sadly, this week it has become one.

We have seen the passage of an egregious and shabby piece of legislation that has allowed warrantless searches and unprecedented spying and control of us all.

In this episode I explain how we slipped from a vibrant democracy to a petty dictatorship, with a failed economy.

It all started with a clever manipulation, then an illegal lockdown, the development of a snitch culture, and an empowered police force and we all prostrated ourselves before the Prime Minister and thanked her for saving us all ever so much.
