Professor Welby Ings, Unemployment & NCEA | Panel - John Tamihere, Maria Slade, Max Harris | Bradbury Group
This week on The Bradbury Group, Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury dives into the education wars with Professor Welby Ings, who warns NCEA changes risk turning collaborative learning into cutthroat competition. Is education for critical thinkers or worker drones? Then the panel of Maria Slade, Max Harris, and John Tamihere take aim at Prime Minister Luxon’s austerity mantra as unemployment spikes, 70,000 Kiwis flee, and homelessness explodes. That $6b infrastructure promise? Old news dressed as new hope. Meanwhile, inflation creeps back, Māori unemployment soars, and the FBI sets up shop in Wellington. Powered by Waatea News.

Moana Maniapoto & Winston Peters Interview Fallout | Panel - Claudette Hauiti, Barbara Edmonds, Simon Wilson, Dita De Boni | Bradbury Group
On this week's Bradbury Group with host Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury, a full-on political rollercoaster - a recession biting harder than a cold southerly, 28,000 jobs gone, and 70,000 Kiwis fleeing to Australia, while food prices rocket past wages. The panel of Claudette Hauiti, Barbara Edmonds, Simon Wilson, and Dita De Boni tear into voter suppression laws that even Judith Collins finds dodgy, Māori rights being stripped from 23 laws, and a “tiny win” ending card surcharges sometime next year. Expect sharp critiques of austerity, corporate welfare, and banks that never pay their fair share. As well as that, Moana Maniapoto is this week's special guest, talking about her recent Winston Peters interview, and we have the War on News. Powered by Waatea News.

Speaker Gerry Brownlee on Parliament Haka Fallout | Panel - Sir Roger Douglas, Craig Renney, Peeni Henare, Matthew Tukaki | Bradbury Group
Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury this week welcomes a very special guest in the form of Speaker of the House Gerry Brownlee, to unpack the Parliament haka debacle - was the punishment a principled defence of procedure, or a tone-deaf crackdown on tikanga? The panel of all stars features Peeni Henare, Matthew Tukaki, Craig Renney, and the one and only Sir Roger Douglas. The four take on the Government’s $6 billion infrastructure “announcement” (spoiler... it’s old news dressed up as new hope). Economic growth has flatlined, inflation’s creeping back, and term deposits are ballooning for the already-rich while Māori unemployment sits at an alarming number. Meanwhile, National sells residency to billionaires while blaming Labour for an economy they're clearly steering. Oh - and the Minister of Defence wants us war-ready. Against who? China? Trump? The moon? Powered by Waatea News.

Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury this week is joined by a HEAVYWEIGHT panel comprised of Simon Wilson, Claudette Hauiti, and Prof. Jane Kelsey. Together they tear into the brain fog of a recessionary Kiwi economy, David Seymour’s dodgy Regulatory Standards Bill, and Winston Peters' Covid Inquiry-for-clicks. With 30,000 New Zealanders fleeing and GDP flatlining, the crew ask - who exactly is “growth” growing for? Leader of the Opposition Chris Hipkins is this week's special guest, and of course we have the War on News. Powered by Waatea News.

Youth Vote Scandal & NZ Economy | Panel - Chris Penk, Maria Slade, Matthew Tukaki | The Bradbury Group
This week on The Bradbury Group with comrade Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury', it’s economic chaos, vigilante justice, and David Seymour getting roasted in Select Committee submissions. Bomber and the panel dissect a tanking economy despite “growth, growth, growth” spin, question the wisdom of deputising ZB Dads to fight crime, and laugh (loudly) at ACT’s enemies list. PLUS! By-election predictions in Tāmaki Makaurau, a special chat with Youth MP Lincoln Jones, and as always the War on News. Powered by Waatea News.
