Show Notes
The Bradbury Group is back for 2026! This week, Bomber and his All Star panel tear into the gap between government promises and grim reality, skewering the “growth, growth, growth” mantra as Kiwis face rising debt, unemployment and a cost-of-living squeeze. They debate economic misfires, anti-immigrant politics and NZ First’s surge, migrant worker exploitation, and whether unions are the real fix. Climate denial gets roasted, Trump’s global chaos dissected, and Election 2026 looms - served with sharp humour, unapologetic opinions, and a panel always one comment away from breaching standards.Powered by Waatea News.
