    Luxon’s New Power Levy Explained: Is It Really A Tax?

    REVEALED: Māori-Only Leave And Preferential Treatment In Oranga Tamariki

    This episode starts with a whistleblower from inside Oranga Tamariki who says a newly negotiated collective agreement has crossed a serious line. Duncan reveals a clause agreed between Oranga Tamariki and the Public Service Association that grants Māori staff discretionary paid cultural leave, with obligations self-defined and not open to challenge by managers. No equivalent entitlement exists for non-Māori staff. The whistleblower says they were too afraid to raise concerns internally, worried it could damage their career. Duncan breaks down why he believes this is a race-based workplace entitlement that undermines trust, fuels resentment, and stretches the Treaty well beyond its intent. He also shares polling that points to a knife-edge election and responds to listener questions about Stuart Nash, cancellation, and forgiveness. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Christopher Luxon Promised Economic 'Green Shoots' - Where Are They?

    It was meant to be our year. That’s what we were told. But as 2026 kicks off, the numbers are telling a very different story. Inflation is back up, unemployment is rising, and interest rates may not be done yet. On the podcast, Duncan Garner asks the hard question. Where are the green shoots we were promised? And what does it mean for Christopher Luxon as the election clock starts ticking loudly? Duncan is joined by Bob McCoskrie and Ashley Church to unpack the credibility problem facing the government, why voters are running out of patience, and how economic pain is still hitting households where it counts.

    Is National Really Anti-Māori? The Facts Says No

    Is New Zealand being sold a lazy political narrative about Māori and this government? We reckon so. As Waitangi approaches, Duncan takes aim at the claim that National is anti-Māori and starts pulling apart the record. From treaty settlements and co-governance to iwi wealth, education reform and charter schools, the evidence doesn’t match the rhetoric. Duncan lays out why the media keeps repeating a story that simply doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Political commentator Ani O’Brien joins the conversation to unpack activism, Party Māori, and why narrative has replaced outcomes in so much of our political debate. They also dig into education, why Māori achievement is finally lifting, and why real progress doesn’t always look the way activists want it to. This is a straight-up challenge to the talking points, the media comfort zone, and the politics of outrage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Erica Stanford Fixes Education, Māori Students Soar... But The Media Looks Away

    For 20 years, our education system has quietly failed kids while the adults argued ideology, avoided accountability, and buried the data. Today, Duncan takes a hard look at why that matters and why things are finally changing. We unpack the introduction of clear, national assessments and honest reporting in schools, why literacy and numeracy were allowed to slide for decades, and how measuring properly kills excuses fast. The results are already uncomfortable and hopeful at the same time, especially for Māori students who were written off under the old system and have surged ahead in weeks, not years. Duncan also calls out the media silence around genuine reform, explains why bad news gets clicks while good news gets buried, and shares a very personal story about narrowly escaping serious injury after a freak accident at home. Accountability, truth, and transparency. This is what real change looks like. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
