    Capital Gains Tax & Charter School Coup w/ Chris Hipkins & John Tamihere
    Nov 4 2025
    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.

  • Speaker Gerry Brownlee on Parliament Haka Fallout | Panel - Sir Roger Douglas, Craig Renney, Peeni Henare, Matthew Tukaki | Bradbury Group

    Speaker Gerry Brownlee on Parliament Haka Fallout | Panel - Sir Roger Douglas, Craig Renney, Peeni Henare, Matthew Tukaki | Bradbury Group
    Jul 23 2025
    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
