Capital Gains Tax & Charter School Coup w/ Chris Hipkins & John Tamihere
In this episode of The Bradbury Group, Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury dives into Labour’s new targeted capital gains tax - who it impacts, who’s furious about it, and why Labour believes it can finally deliver real cost-of-living relief, including free GP visits for most New Zealanders. Bomber - alongside Chris Hipkins, and his panel of John Tamihere, Simon Wilson and Fran O'Sullivan - also tackles the explosive situation at Kelston Boys High, the increasingly strained relationship between Māori and the Government, and much more.

Chris Hipkins on Oil, Palestine & Voter Rights | Panel - Michael Wood & Riccardo Menéndez-March | Bradbury Group
This week’s pod pulls no punches - Chris Hipkins is grilled on why NZ joined National, ACT, and NZ First in refusing to recognise Palestine. The panel then tears into a CEO mutiny against PM Chris Luxon and Nicola Willis, pointing out the economy is tanking faster than a moa hunt with Shane Jones. Oil and gas exploration is back (because apparently climate change is fiction), while local elections are still outsourced to corporations, slashing turnout. It’s righteous fury, dark humour, and political firepower aimed squarely at a flailing Government. Powered by Waatea News.
