Mark Mitchell's War On Crime Is Failing | Meth, Prisons & NZ's Oligarchy
New Zealand's social fabric is fraying — and tonight, Martyn Bradbury holds power to account. 🎙️ *1-on-1 in 10 with Police Minister Mark Mitchell* A $1.3 billion Police budget. Organised crime flooding our communities with methamphetamine. And a social carnage that shows no sign of slowing. Martyn Bradbury asks Police Minister Mark Mitchell the question New Zealanders are demanding answers to: has the Government actually got on top of the meth crisis — or are they just spending big and delivering nothing? 🎙️ *Extra 1-on-1 in 10 with Te Pāti Māori co-Leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer* New Zealand's prison population is set to explode — and the trigger isn't violent crime. It's shoplifting law changes that are funnelling petty offenders directly into an already broken corrections system. Te Pāti Māori co-Leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer joins Martyn to ask the hard question: how is jailing shoplifters any different to arresting the homeless? Is this counterproductive social policy dressed up as law and order? 🔥 *Political Panel Discussion* ⚡ Matthew Hooton – Editor of The Post ⚡ Arena Williams – MP for Manurewa ⚡ Simon Wilson – Listener Columnist Learn more about your ad choices.

33,000 Homeless Kids & Company Collapses Surge — Is This The Budget We Were Promised?
Martyn Bradbury takes on the budget betrayal, 33,000 homeless children, record company liquidations and the global rise of the far right — with two of the Left's sharpest minds and a heavyweight political panel. 🎙️ *1-on-1 in 10 with Qiulae Wong — Leader of TOP (The Opportunities Party)* After scoring 6% in the latest Roy Morgan Poll, TOP is a genuine political force. Qiulae Wong joins Martyn to lay out TOP's bottom lines, their coalition conditions, and who they're prepared to go into Government with. 🎙️ *Extra 1-on-1 in 10 with Victor Billot — Alliance Party Leader* After securing a historic union affiliation, Alliance Leader Victor Billot joins Martyn to discuss how the Left builds a winning coalition in an economic election — and how progressives push back against the global surge of far-right populism. 🔥 *Political Panel Discussion* ⚡ Matthew Hooton — NZ Herald Columnist ⚡ Maria Slade — Business Desk Journalist ⚡ Simon Wilson — Listener Columnist *Tonight's Political Agenda:* 📌 Issue 1 — 33,000 Homeless Children & an 11-Year High in Company Liquidations The Budget promised growth. Instead we have a record number of homeless children and company collapses at levels not seen in over a decade. Is this the economy National promised New Zealanders? 📌 Issue 2 — Is Democracy Under Attack? The War on Māori Representation ACT and the Taxpayers' Union are crying foul over Māori representation at the local council level. But who's really attacking democracy here? Tonight the panel calls it. 📌 Issue 3 — Labour's List vs NZ First's Candidates A deep dive into the electoral maths — Labour's party list strategy versus NZ First's candidate game. Who's positioned better heading into the next election? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
