Show Notes
One law for all — but why does the debate keep dividing New Zealand? Don Brash joins Shubz to talk ten years of Hobson’s Pledge, Māori representation, Treaty obligations and the criticism that his organisation fuels racial division. What has it actually achieved, and what does he still want to change? ACT candidate James Christmas faces questions on supermarket competition and the cost of living. Would government intervention bring grocery prices down, or could shoppers end up paying more? And if the market is the answer, why are families still waiting for cheaper food? Plus, Palmerston North campaigner Angela Culling raises concerns about the proposed Bunnythorpe Business Park and potential hyperscale data centre. We talk fast-track approvals, electricity and water demands, infrastructure costs and whether locals are getting a proper say. Three guests. Plenty to challenge.
