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?

Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury this week is joined by a HEAVYWEIGHT panel comprised of Simon Wilson, Claudette Hauiti, and Prof. Jane Kelsey.

With 30,000 New Zealanders fleeing and GDP flatlining, the crew ask - who exactly is “growth” growing for?

Wood left high school early, associating with drugs and violence, committing crimes to maintain his habit. At 18 years old, he went to prison in Paremoremo Prison for murdering his 42 year old drug dealer, after he attempted to sexually assault Wood. Wood was convicted of murder and served 11 years in prison.

Wood's mother passed away three days before the murder. He served part of his sentence in Paremoremo Prison, which he described as "New Zealand’s toughest facility."

Wood completed his undergraduate and master's degrees while imprisoned, and he commenced a PhD, which he completed in 2011. He is the first New Zealander to have achieved both feats. In 2019 he published a biography titled, How to Escape from Prison.

This week on The Bradbury Group with comrade Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury', it’s economic chaos, vigilante justice, and David Seymour getting roasted in Select Committee submissions. Bomber and the panel dissect a tanking economy despite “growth, growth, growth” spin, question the wisdom of deputising ZB Dads to fight crime, and laugh (loudly) at ACT’s enemies list. PLUS! By-election predictions in Tāmaki Makaurau, a special chat with Youth MP Lincoln Jones, and as always the War on News.

Bombs, budgets, and bulldust - it’s a big one this week on The Bradbury Group. Host Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury welcomes on Dr Yousef Aljamal, who drops some truth bombs about Gaza the mainstream media won’t touch, while Trump and Netanyahu turn the apocalypse into a pool party ad. Selwyn Manning and Paul Buchanan unpack the US/Israel strikes on Iran and wonder who’s really driving the clown car. Then, it’s over to our political panel of legends - John Tamihere, Simon Wilson, and Craig Renney - to tackle Tarsh Kemp’s legacy, tough-on-crime cosplay, and the economy doing its best Titanic impression.

Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury goes full throttle this week, torching US President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran, New Zealand's foreign policy flip-flops, and NZ Prime Minister Chris Luxon’s “China’s not a threat” eyebrow-raiser. The panel takes aim at seabed mining madness, with Iwi told to play nice - or else - and Shane Jones’ “drill baby drill” cosplay. With economic storm clouds gathering and food bank queues growing, Bomber asks - is this pro-growth or just pro-greed?

As well as that, Green Party Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick dials in, and we have our War on News.

Welcome to The Bradbury Group, where Martyn "Bomber" Bradbury slings political zingers sharper than Treasury's red pens! This post-budget special features a feisty panel: Labour’s Barbara Edmonds, corporate queen Fran O’Sullivan, and ex-National MP-turned-journo Claudette Hauiti. Māori Party’s Takuta Ferris joins for a sizzling 1-on-1, roasting seabed mining, racist double standards, and the budget’s Māori funding flop. The “War on News” blasts Paul Goldsmith’s tone-deaf tweets, trickle-up economics, and Chris Bishop’s 1950s cosplay. Expect fierce debate, fiscal despair, and butter existentialism - because in Aotearoa, even dairy prices are weaponised.
