Here's StraightTalk for 14 July 2025. In this episode, we discuss – according to the latest poll, NZ First is now the 3rd most popular party – is this because of their anti-woke campaigning which is connecting with voters? The Advertising Standards Authority has not upheld complaints against a Lotto advertisement that includes images of a man skiing naked with his backside visible. But the ASA recently banned an advert because they reckoned it suggested that young girls couldn’t do long maths. So whats the real definition of “offensive” these days? We ask the panelists. We discuss AI – artificial intelligence – and is it friend or foe – and can it really interpret speaking in tongues? And we ask the panelists what they’d like the COVID inquiry to achieve – if anything.
