Nobody in New Zealand should work a 40 hour week and not have enough money for a decent life. Nobody on welfare should struggle for the basics. I don’t think these things are either too much to ask, or unattainable. We just have to decide that the minimum wage and welfare matter

I think the reason I like watching Campbell's interviews and cannot stand 5 seconds of Hoskings is that Campbell has a love of life and a basic respect for everyone. Hoskings is so full of grievance and is emotional and angry. He has no joy, no happy. Even his jokes are nasty.
