  • Not afraid to ask the hard questions

    Tame does a great job exposing the hypocrisy and stupidity of all New Zealand politicians. Other local journalists should take note - your job isn’t to be their friend, it is to hold them accountable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrew Coster: Trust, corruption allegations, and Jevon McSkimming
Q: You wrote to the chair of the IPCA and urged him to hurry up their investigation. Why would an outgoing commissioner of police go in so hard in writing?
It was a communication that came from a place of frustration that despite the IPCA's knowledge over a period of nearly 18 months, that they hadn't moved sooner.
Andrew Coster: Trust, corruption allegations, and Jevon McSkimming
Q: You have said that you accept full responsibility for the shortcomings identified in the IPCA report. What did you do wrong?
Look, this happened on my watch, and I have to take responsibility for anything that occurred under my leadership.
Andrew Coster: Trust, corruption allegations, and Jevon McSkimming
Q: What did police do wrong?
I think you had a situation here where a whole lot of colleagues of Jevon McSkimming trusted him, and that trust colored some of the judgments they made.
Andrew Coster: Trust, corruption allegations, and Jevon McSkimming
Q: How did you find out?
I found out through the media. By that stage, I had been away from the organisation for certainly quite a number of weeks.
Andrew Coster: Trust, corruption allegations, and Jevon McSkimming
Q: Why are you doing this interview?
I think it's really important that New Zealanders are able to hear from me. I want to be able to acknowledge the things that we got wrong.
