The latest Ipsos Issues Monitor has smacked National clean in the face, and Duncan is fired up. This isn’t just a bad poll. It’s voters across the country saying they’re worse off, still struggling with the basics, and not buying what National’s selling. A 3.9 out of 10 performance score is more than rough. It’s a warning shot.

Ani O’Brien joins Duncan to unpack why cost of living sits at the top of the pile, why National’s messaging has never landed, and how Labour is somehow looking more trustworthy on the economy despite the mess it left behind. We get into leadership questions, the lack of tough decisions, the frustration of half measures, and whether Chris Luxon’s team is actually hearing what people are saying.

There’s also a look at crime, policing, the Greens’ latest missteps, and the brutal political reality heading into 2026. If National doesn’t get moving fast, voters won’t wait around.

Te Pāti Māori is in free fall. That is the only honest way to describe what has happened inside the party this week. The sackings of two MPs look unconstitutional, the process looks stitched up, and dozens of people who should have voted never even had the chance. Members have contacted us directly and their message is clear: the party has been swallowed by one man’s network.

Today Duncan breaks down the tangled web around John Tamihere, the family links, the work connections, and the extraordinary level of influence running through almost every layer of the party. When the president’s relatives, employees and loyalists sit across key seats and national council positions, how democratic is the process really?

We look at why this matters, why the expulsions may not stand up to scrutiny, and why some inside the movement are now calling for JT to step aside before the whole project collapses. Plus, we hear from listeners frustrated by the state of frontline services, from hospitals to basic safety.

This is a moment of reckoning for Te Pāti Māori. The question now is whether the party survives the storm.

On the podcast, Duncan dives deep into the chaos at Te Pāti Māori, believing the party is imploding, with the expulsion of two MPs exposing deep division, shaky leadership, and panic rather than unity. He says the co-leaders appear out of their depth, trying to present control while the party fractures and risks losing Māori voters. Duncan also takes aim at Labour’s vulnerability and questions talk of a left-bloc coalition.
