It’s that time of the week when Peter Bale and Bernard Hickey take a 'hoon' around the news of the week in geo-politics, the global economy and Aoteoaroa-NZ's political economy with special guests Natalia Chaban and Rodney Jones.

Here’s the link.

We’ll be talking about everything in the week that was to October 14, including:

• The Government’s proposal for the world’s first methane and nitrous oxide levy scheme, which farmers said would gut sheep and beef farming areas;

• The Bank of England’s messy announcements about bailing out Britain’s pension system, which could lead to drama tonight;

• Higher than expected US inflation figures that could see the Fed Funds Rate go up to almost 5% early next year;

• Local election results that saw a rash of pro-car and anti-cycling-lane and anti-densification Mayors and councillors elected.

Fill yer boots.
