    16. Lets Talk About Maori

    Send us a text Here’s the fourth and final one from the beach walk! In this episode, I share my thoughts on Māori representation, why sudden political shifts create division, and how small wins lead to real progress. Unity isn’t about taking away—it’s about working together, respecting our differences, and building a better future for all of us. Stick with me, and I’ll show you why there’s nothing to fear—only opportunities to grow together. 🎥 Full video available here: https://youtu.be/tTC0-TZ89PE?si=W74N5Uf8n8WBrxI6 📢 That’s all four from the beach walk—thanks for coming along for the journey!

    13. How The Unity Party Was Created

    Send us a text Join me for a beach walk as I share how the Unity Party was created—born from a need for real change and a system that puts people first. I still have my camera stick learner license, so for those who don’t want to see me moving like John Travolta in Grease, here’s the audio-only version! 🎥 Full video available here: https://youtu.be/dZ_W7Jjfs1Q?si=m3Y3jMUhYhtTnrHm  📢 I’ll also be uploading the full four videos from that walk, so stay tuned for more!

    12. Chasing Happiness: The Science Behind Survival and Addiction

    Send us a text Why do people in poverty make choices that seem reckless? It’s not about bad decisions—it’s about survival. In this episode, Nigel McFall breaks down the science behind addiction, stress, and coping mechanisms, explaining how poverty rewires the brain and traps people in cycles of hardship. From dopamine deprivation to the impact of meth addiction, we explore why escape becomes a priority and how real solutions like drug reform and mental health support can break the cycle. It’s time to stop judging and start fixing the system. We need Unity. Thanks for listening to Piecing Together Unity!

    11. Justice That Heals, Protects, and Prevents

    Send us a text In this episode, Nigel McFall from the Unity Party explains why real justice starts long before a crime happens. It’s about fixing broken foundations, supporting kids and families before they fall through the cracks, offering real pathways out — and bringing hard accountability for those who keep choosing harm. From the Mana Restoration Programme to supporting kids in schools, breaking gang cycles, and preventing harm to children, this episode outlines Unity’s vision for justice with both a heart and a spine.

    10. Keeping Families Connected – Putting Children First

    Send us a text Strong families build strong futures — but what happens when connection breaks down? In this episode of Piecing Together Unity, Nigel McFall explores what happens when children lose connection with the people who matter most — whether it’s because of work, distance, family breakdown, or incarceration. He shares Unity’s vision for turning schools into hubs of connection, creating safe spaces where children can receive messages from parents and whānau, request live calls when they need support, and access Messages of Hope from inspiring Kiwis who’ve walked similar paths. If you care about breaking cycles, supporting our tamariki, and building a society where every child feels seen and valued, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening to Piecing Together Unity!

    9. Lets Talk About - Feeding Division How School Lunches Became Political Tools

    Send us a text School lunches should be simple — feed the kids, support families, and make sure no child goes hungry. But in New Zealand, even something as basic as lunch has been turned into a political weapon. In this episode, I break down the story of Ka Ora, Ka Ako, and how this Government is deliberately running the programme into the ground — not to save money, but to feed a narrative that blames struggling families instead of fixing the system. This isn’t just about food — it’s about how politics works when no one’s watching. If you want to learn more about the Unity Party and what we stand for, check out our website: www.unityparty.org.nz.
