Is the 1st time i heard you swearing in over 3 years (?) of listening to your podcasts. Good'n'you! This is obiouslly more than a job for you, as you feel pasionatelly about the subject and fellow humans. I respect that.

Ditto, Francisco. You took the words out if my mouth. And the words out of your mouth, Bernard, were totally appropriate in the circumstances. Thank you!

I came to the comments to backup this sentiment. Please keep doing what you do but I do see you have become less dispassionate over the last year plus and clearly it is getting to you. I hope this community gives you a little ray of hope :)

I don’t swear a heck of a lot, but it is absolutely crazy. We produce enough food fir millions, we have loads of space, we are good at renewable energy & we can’t give our most vulnerable a place to live that’s half way decent. It’s completely f.cked!

Bernard after 20 years can you try sneaking around the back of the enemy and shoot them from there? Just a thought. Metaphorically speaking of course. What would that mean actually doing i wonder. will be something. Like - forget the polys maybe?

No apologies needed, you’ve been covering this for a long time and we are thankful that you do. I’ve been listening for just over a year and I’ve learned so much about New Zealand and housing.

I particularly liked the long pause for beforehand, felt like when the principle stands up and tells everyone how thoroughly ashamed we should be (and, to be honest, we should be).Something worth swearing over, no apologies needed!
