Post-Budget Special - Māori Party, Fran O’Sullivan, Barbara Edmonds & Claudette Hauiti | The Bradbury Group
Welcome to The Bradbury Group, where Martyn "Bomber" Bradbury slings political zingers sharper than Treasury's red pens! This post-budget special features a feisty panel: Labour’s Barbara Edmonds, corporate queen Fran O’Sullivan, and ex-National MP-turned-journo Claudette Hauiti. Māori Party’s Takuta Ferris joins for a sizzling 1-on-1, roasting seabed mining, racist double standards, and the budget’s Māori funding flop. The “War on News” blasts Paul Goldsmith’s tone-deaf tweets, trickle-up economics, and Chris Bishop’s 1950s cosplay. Expect fierce debate, fiscal despair, and butter existentialism - because in Aotearoa, even dairy prices are weaponised.

Pre-Budget Special - Chris Hipkins, Matthew Hooton, John Tamihere & Craig Renney | The Bradbury Group
Welcome to The Bradbury Group, an independent political podcast where sharp wit meets sharper hooks! This is episode one - a pre-Budget special for 2025 - and its power panel features John Tamihere, the Māori Party’s kingpin; Matthew Hooton, right-wing Slytherin-turned-columnist saboteur; and Craig Renney, Jedi economist for the working class. They tackle the week’s chaos - Māori MPs getting banished like it’s Hogwarts detention, a budget that may or may not bleed Milton Friedman’s ghost, and pay parity slashed with Thatcherite flair. Throw in a 10 minute catch-up with leader of the Opposition Chris Hipkins, and Bomber's War on News (which should be pretty self explanatory). It’s politics, but with punchlines and purpose.
The Bradbury Group is a no-holds-barred weekly political podcast from Martyn "Bomber" Bradbury. Unapologetically Left, fiercely independent, and born from the ashes of The Working Group, this is where real political debate lives. Each Tuesday, Bradbury and guests take on the big issues, call out the bad faith, and push back against the spin. Buckle up.
