The Bradbury Group

Show Notes

On the podcast, Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury blasts pet-bond politics, mouldy school-lunch slop, council rate caps, and the Government’s relentless squeeze on Māori rights. With sharp sarcasm and class-war clarity, he calls out manufactured poverty, empty public housing, and the absurd pivot to arresting the homeless. All of this with the help of the All Star panel featuring Tau Henare, Steve Abel, and Simon Wilson.
