Josie joined Heather du Plessis Allan on Newstalk ZB to discuss Wellington mayor Tory Whanau flip-flopping on whether she sold her car to pay the bills.

And the Government wants public servants to stop working from home and go back to the office.

Estonian prime minister, Kaja Kallas warns we are in a 1938 moment. A wider war is imminent. We just haven't joined the dots.

Authoritarian regimes are aligning, as they did before World War Two. China tacitly supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Autocratic countries like Zimbabwe, Belarus and Cuba voted in favour of Russia’s annexation of Crimea at the United Nations.

The new Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — populism, nativism, isolationism, and protectionism — are on the rise again. If we are not in 1938, then we are probably heading into a more dangerous Cold War 2.0 along with a return to 19th century “might is right” conflicts: proxy wars and the powerful acquiring territory through force.

The international order breaks down. Populations suffer persecution and repression, and their labour and property are stolen by the forces of impunity.
