Rawiri Waititi, Arena Williams, Dita de Boni and Professor Susan St John | The Bradbury Group Ep 4 aud (from June 10)
Description
In the latest episode of The Bradbury Group, Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury and his all-star panel dive headfirst into the chaos of New Zealand politics with three scorching issues. First up: the Māori Party haka fallout... are we still a democracy if political theatre gets punished harder than policy failure? The panel slams the government's vengeance politics, especially over a haka protest that roared with one billion views. Next, it’s the Rich List vs Reality. While the top 1% pop champagne, 500,000 Kiwis queue for food banks. Professor Susan St John calls it what it is: a feudal plutocracy with bad vibes. The case for a wealth tax gains ground - unless Labour keeps ghosting it. Finally, it’s democracy on trial globally, as protest rights face extinction from California to Parliament. As Greta gets cuffed and dissent gets muzzled, the crew asks: how do we fight back when the rules keep changing? Spoiler: with louder haka.
As well as that, Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi is our special (remote) guest, and there is also the War on News.
