Ukraine, and the simmering tensions over it, is one of the least understood and most propagandised international crises in recent history. To set the facts straight and explain what we need to know to understand the unfolding conflict, Volodymyr Ishchenko stopped by the 1/200 studios this week.
Pandemic to the left of us, nuclear war to the right. With the world refusing to stop being embroiled in crisis for one bloody second, the 1 of 200 crew discuss the Labour government's omicron strategy, Ardern’s ‘expropriation’ of rapid tests, and the things you're probably not being told about the Ukraine crisis.
1/200 talks with Andrey Ivanov about economics, decision making, with specific reference to the Covid-19 pandemic both in NZ and abroad.

Chile went from a free market laboratory under a murderous anticommunist dictator, to a neoliberal democracy with a conservative constitution.

A debate is raging around Labour and National's joint housing policy that has opened up planning laws to facilitate more home building. Like the "war on terror" you're either for it or against it. But Jessamine Fraser tells the 1/200 crew that, for the first time, they're safe to choose a third way. If you enjoyed this episode you can support us on Patreon or sign up for our newsletter .

Christopher Luxon - is he a hardline fundamentalist? A hard-nosed businessesman? An incredibly boring choice for National Leader? All of the above? And the most important question of all: will the 1/200 crew finally go an episode without criticising Labour? Sign up for our weekly newsletter Support us through Patreon
We're told that debt forgiveness is impossible, because all debts must be paid, and to do the opposite is to invite anarchy and chaos. But what if none of it was true? Renowned economist Michael Hudson tells Branko about the debt jubilees of the ancient world, how Jesus preached debt forgiveness, and how the finance sector has become a parasite feeding off the productive parts of the economy. 1/200 has just released a weekly newsletter!

Mikey and Ross join the cast to discuss Auckland’s Lockdown changes, the parallel experiences of the pandemic and ‘lockdown fatigue’ - whatever that is!
Aotearoa has had an excellent response to Covid compared to most countries, but it's not beyond scrutiny. In fact there continue to be serious problems with Government action and strategy on the response. Last year politicians formed an Epidemic Response Committee to question Government decisions. But since then we've seen most politicians can't or won't point out Government failures where they really matter. So we have to do it ourselves. Let's find out what we can do better. Let's share this f...

In 2018, nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants went on strike for the first time in 29 years. They won significant concessions from the DHBs, but their ultimate goal of addressing the chronic understaffing was promised and not delivered. At the start of the bargaining there was no campaign, and members of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, NZNO, built one themselves, against the wishes of their union leadership. We spoke with; Erin , a nurse based in Wellington Grant Brookes, member elect...

Part 3! In 2010, Talleys, one of NZ’s biggest companies and owned by one of its richest families, took full control of the AFFCO Meatworks. It then embarked on a 5 year campaign to de-unionise it’s workforce. But workers in Wairoa and towns across the country said no. They were locked out 3 times in 5 years. This is the story of their resistance and goes to the heart of strategic debate about what is symbolic vs what builds leverage. We spoke with; Peter Amato , Meatworker in the beefhouse at Wa...
