Budget Fightback: Barbara Edmonds, Hone Harawira and a Political Panel That Won’t Pull Punches

It is Budget week, and The Bradbury Group is going straight at the big political fights shaping New Zealand. Labour Finance Spokesperson Barbara Edmonds joins Martyn Bradbury for a 1 on 1 on the pre-Budget debate, the state of the economy, and why Labour says free market ideology is hurting communities instead of building them up. Then Hone Harawira joins for a special 1 on 1 on Māori politics, the Māori electorates, and the message he thinks Māori voters need to hear this election. Plus, the political panel of Matthew Hooton, Verity Johnston and Quilae Wong takes on the week’s biggest issues: The Big Polluter scandal and Luxon’s clash with John Campbell. The OCR, the Budget and the economy. And the politics of English before Māori, defining a woman, and arresting the homeless. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
