In Episode 22 of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with veteran left-winger, political strategist, and unapologetic straight-talker Matt McCarten.

And things get heated fast.

In one of Cam’s most explosive conversations yet, Matt fires off blistering allegations about Labour MP Willie Jackson, the Jackson whānau’s influence, and the power dynamics surrounding the Manukau Urban Māori Authority (MUMA).

Matt has spent decades in the trenches of New Zealand politics, fighting for low-paid workers on Struggle Street, pushing for cultural change where it counts, and navigating storms most New Zealanders never see.

He’s blunt. He’s battle-tested. And he absolutely doesn’t duck the hard punches.

He’s famous for spray-painting giant phalluses around Auckland potholes when the council wouldn’t listen.

In this unfiltered conversation, he breaks down the state of New Zealand’s infrastructure, the perverse incentives that keep repairs slow, and why ordinary people are increasingly forced to take matters into their own hands.

Jillaine unpacks regulatory overreach, cultural fragility, suppression, and why open debate matters now more than ever.

Clear-eyed and unflinching, she lays out what’s coming if New Zealand isn’t careful.
