Family Matters: Dr Juliet Chevalier-Watts on how charities have fared in the latest Budget

In this episode Family Matters, Simon speaks with Dr Juliet Chevalier-Watts. Juliet is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Waikato, and an expert in charity law. Several years ago, alongside Professor Frank Scrimgeour, they published research showing how much religious charities in New Zealand contributed - something like $6.1 billion a year. She argues this is clear evidence that the government and the public need to do more to support charities, not make things more difficult - and she stresses she is saying this as an atheist.

BiltonTruth - The Wheel of Power Vs Blind Justice!

The Wheel of Power Vs Blind Justice! Is the wheel of power and privilege the solution to all injustice in the world? Can we finally see who needs our help and who are those responsible for all the truly evil things in the world? Or is it simply an attempt to solve evil with evil, racism with racism? Resulting in a fresh flavor of marxism, one that will be no less deadly if we don't reject it. Turns out we may have been on to something with the concept of blind justice after all. Samuel Bilton presents the latest episode of BiltonTruth

McBlog: Alex Berenson on Fatherhood Manifesto, Marijuana & Biden’s COVID

In THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO, former New York Times and now independent journalist Alex Berenson, author of the best-selling and groundbreaking "Unreported Truths" series on COVID - and father of three - offers a unique, punchy, and long-overdue take on why fathers matter - and how to be a better dad. Berenson says that it stands as a necessary corrective to a culture that has devalued fatherhood and the masculine parenting virtues of stoicism and independence. For far too long, mainstream parenting guides have pretended that "gentle parenting" is the secret to child-rearing - and that fathers are simply less empathetic moms. This lie - and it is a lie - has done huge damage to fathers, their sons and daughters, families, and society. We also ask Alex about how he has been proven right about the claims he made about the harms of marijuana when he visited NZ in 2020, and also an update on his lawsuit against former President Joe Biden and Twitter who cancelled his account because of his questioning of the COVID vaccine narrative.
