As you’d expect, he’s one of the sharpest minds in the country when it comes to government accountability.

He’s made a career out of asking uncomfortable questions and demanding straight answers. Never shy of a fight, he’s a lightning rod for debate on transparency, wasteful spending, and the size and power of the government.

He and Cam discuss bureaucratic bloat, freedom of speech and why democracy needs defending now more than ever.

Jordan also turns the mic on Cam to ask: what’s with the endless black t-shirts?

In episode 11 of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with no-nonsense campaigner and rising Māori political voice, Corina Shields.

Corina doesn’t just see politics as broken, she sees the whole system cracking. From the cycle of abuse that traps families, to the top-down agendas that ignore everyday Kiwis, she’s calling time on the nonsense.

With a backbone of steel, Corina opens up about walking away from an MP candidacy, the fading heat of the gender debate, and her strategy for shutting down online trolls without losing her soul.

It’s not about left or right, it’s about truth, dignity, and a system reset from the ground up. Raw and ready for a fight.

Once a seminarian, Simon was one of the few politicians willing to say what many are thinking.

In this episode, he talks candidly about modern politics, why he stood firm during Covid when others folded, the importance of Israel, and what he sees as the moral crossroads facing New Zealand today.

It’s honest, raw, and refreshingly unfiltered.
