Having recently listened to a few extracts from the last interview we had with Tom Harrington, I was reminded by just how good he is.

Tom’s capacity to expose wrong think, and inspire and develop how we do think is hinted in this comment:

“That having more educational credentials is no guarantee against the danger of believing in stories that seriously distort our understanding of imperial facts.”

He is a very inspirational speaker.

We are on holiday in Europe at the moment. Of course there will be a full account on return.

It was almost two years ago that writer and public speaker Lord Hannan was in NZ, and we recorded an interview which provided much food for thought.

Having visited the country on numerous occasions, Daniel's opinion on politics and the economy was valid.

A couple of years later is a good time to check on his ‘predictions’ as to where several controversial issues might be headed.

Imagine a company that has been pursuing its goal for fifteen years, with mixed progress, if you could call it that.

The company, Trans Tasman Resources (TTR) has invested over $85 million toward a deep sea mining project off the South Taranaki Coast.

It’s Executive Chairman Alan Eggers is a qualified geologist who gained his degree at Victoria University, Wellington.

But it’s not all been plain sailing...

Eggers lays it out in a most interesting interview which covers matters political, racial, social and financial, and helps to understand why New Zealand is poorly served in its search for the success it deserves.

It just might share some of the reasons the country comes up short in other areas, like infrastructure and health.
