Show Notes

In this episode, host Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury dives straight into the fiery fallout between Labour and Te Pāti Māori, as Willie Jackson joins the show to unpack Tākuta Ferris’ controversial comments, the impact on Māori-Pākehā unity, and what it means for the left heading into the next election. Then, our powerhouse panel of Kerrin Leoni, Shane Te Pou, and Chris Finlayson tackle three explosive topics: whether New Zealand is broken, the toxic Māori wards debate, and the shocking assassination of U.S. right-wing figure Charlie Kirk.
