Kamala Harris, the Democrat contender for the U.S. presidency was the most socialist member of the Senate.

Further left than Bernie Sanders, she has more recently been tagged a Marxist.

But is she? In fact, what is she? That is the most asked question amongst undecided voters.

For answers, who better to consult than a Professor of Marxism. Michael Rectenwald was a devout Marxist until he saw the light and recanted.

After guesting on podcasts in 2021 & 2022, Rectenwald returns to give us answers to the above, and what a Harris administration would be like.

And, of course, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

The Sir John Graham Lecture 2024 guest speaker was Professor Nicholas Aroney, from the University of Queensland.

The speech was entitled “The Compass of Character”. It explored law, education and religion, and their roles in the formation of character.

In a most interesting conversation we covered the talk and, amongst other things, the threat on democracy.

There’s a brief analysis of Kamala Harris and yet another great mailroom with Mrs Producer.

New Zealand men and women are being encouraged to pay attention to the court decision in the case of “Tickle v Giggle”.

Why be interested in a comedic sounding Australian judge's decision?

Well, the ruling has been labelled “dystopian" and "distorting key concepts of sex and discrimination, while dodging Australia’s human rights obligations vis a vis women. If unchallenged this decision would set a dangerous precedent”.

New Zealand is in danger of falling into the same human rights trap.

The incomparable Professor James Allan analyses the Tickle case as only he can.

And as always, we finish in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
