  • Is National Really Anti-Māori? The Facts Says No

    Is National Really Anti-Māori? The Facts Says No
    Feb 4 2026
    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

    Erica Stanford Fixes Education, Māori Students Soar... But The Media Looks Away
    Feb 3 2026
    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

  • Brian Tamaki's Protest Blocked: A Dangerous Precedent Is Being Set

    Brian Tamaki's Protest Blocked: A Dangerous Precedent Is Being Set
    Feb 2 2026
    What happens when the right to protest depends on who you are, not the rules? This episode dives headfirst into the decision to block Brian Tamaki from marching across the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and why Duncan believes authorities have walked straight into a hypocrisy trap. You don’t have to like Tamaki, agree with him, or support his views. That’s not the point. The issue is consistency, fairness, and whether New Zealand still operates as a rules-based democracy. Duncan lays out decades of examples where protests, marathons, bikes, convoys, and marches were allowed across the same bridge, then asks why this one was suddenly “too dangerous”. Ashley Church and Rod and Christie join the panel to unpack the political fallout, media silence, and what this sets up for the future of protest in New Zealand. From infrastructure failure to free speech, this conversation goes well beyond one man and one bridge. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
