Is Te Pāti Māori Preaching Violence? 17.03.2025

Today on the show... Te Pāti Māori has gone next level, but has it gone too far? A social media post by Rawiri Waititi’s wife, shared by the man himself, compares David Seymour to grass being brutally mowed down. Is this hate speech? A joke gone wrong? Or something more sinister? Let’s get into it. And David Seymour joins me to discuss this - what does the acting PM think of this message? Plus som...

Could This Change Home Ownership Forever? 14.03.2025

Today on the show... Should all first-year students at Auckland University be forced to study the Treaty of Waitangi? The university says it’s about understanding our country better, but critics - including Act Leader David Seymour - call it indoctrination. Is this academic progress, or just another politically-driven move? Let’s dive in. Can you buy a house without a massive deposit or a bank loa...

Why Are Tradies Fleeing to Australia? 13.03.2025

Today on the show... Governments waste money - we know that. But when taxpayers fork out $4 million for whale songs and karakia to ‘heal’ trees, you’ve got to ask: where does it end? The Taxpayers' Union called it out, and now they’re facing a major legal threat. Is this about defending science, or just shutting down criticism? You decide. Is NZ ready for the electrification revolution? Alexandra...

How did a Near-Death Detective Rebuild? 12.03.2025

Today on the show... John Tamihere’s Waipareira Trust gets millions in taxpayer funding - yet its execs rake in over $500K each. That’s a 77% pay hike in a year. With little oversight and past financial controversies, shouldn’t the government step in? This isn’t about race - it’s about accountability. Time to open the books. I’ve interviewed a lot of people, but few have a story as insane as Shaun...

Slam Dunc: MP Ditches Work for Everest?! Luxon's Big Mistake! 11.03.2025

Disgraced National MP Andrew Bailey ditches Parliament for Mount Everest—on personal leave, no less—while taxpayers foot the bill. Is this how corporate New Zealand operates, Christopher Luxon? In this episode, we break down the double standards, political spin, and the real story behind Bailey’s abrupt exit. Plus, is Luxon just piggybacking on Winston Peters’ anti-woke crusade? Learn more about y...

The Polls Don't Lie! 10.03.2025

Today on the show... The numbers are brutal - Luxon is sinking, Hipkins is ahead, and National is in freefall. The public has tuned out, the economy is worse, and his own MPs know it. So, how long until Luxon walks - or gets pushed? I talk to David Farrar, the man behind this poll - what are his thoughts? And some more Letters to the Editor!

Can Shane Jones Unite a Divided NZ? 07.03.2025

Today on the show... I’ve watched Shane Jones through every twist and turn - from scandal to comeback. Right now, he’s found his voice, calling out race division and pushing for a future where being Kiwi matters more than skin colour. Like it or not, Jones might be the leader we need. Tonight we speak to him. And some feedback from you! Website: https://www.rova.nz/home/podcasts/duncan-garner---ed...

The State of NZ's Teeth 06.03.2025

Today on the show... Hospitals are cutting vital services, but millions still flow to cultural events and arts groups. When budgets are tight, shouldn’t saving lives come first? It’s time to rethink what matters most. Kiwi teeth are in bad shape - from kids losing teeth too young to adults avoiding the chair until it’s too late. I sit down with Maykon to find out why, and how a new app could help...

Is New Zealand’s Health System Failing? 05.03.2025

Today on the show... Christopher Luxon’s leadership is on life support  - and National MPs know it. The whisper campaign has turned into full-blown planning. It’s no longer if he goes, but when - and who takes over. As someone who’s seen leadership spills up close, I can tell you: Luxon’s clock is ticking. And I sit down with Malcolm Mulholland to unpack the shocking state of our health system. St...

Luxon Needs to Be More Like Trump? 04.03.2025

Today on the show... We’re told this Government is anti-Māori - yet it’s pouring almost $100 million into kapa haka alone. The facts don’t match the narrative, and today I’m laying it all out - no spin, just truth. And he was once suspended from the National party for saying Bill English was a useless leader. Now, he’s speaking out telling Christopher Luxon what he must do to save his backside as...

Former National Party Staffer says Luxon is NZ's worse PM 03.03.2025

Today on the show... I’ve been in the Oval Office - I know how it works. What Trump and JD Vance did to Zelensky wasn’t diplomacy - it was a public ambush. It’s changed how the world sees America, and how we should too. And I sit down with Matthew Hooton and Ashley Church to tackle Christopher Luxon's leadership struggles, Trump’s global shake-up, and what it all means for New Zealand. Big calls -...
