I begin this episode with an overview of New Zealand’s recent local government elections: What message do the voters send? What does it imply for the general election next year? I’ve done a mini-series of posts on my blog (links below) if you’re interested in more detail. The stuff I talk about in this episode leads on to a brief discussion of some fringe political activity. Then I talk about some of the mini-projects I did recently. Be sure to Like the AmeriNZ Facebook Page for all things AmeriNZ.
