Te Pāti Māori are even worse on criminal justice than the Greens — if that were possible. In this episode, we hear from Rawiri Waititi on whether Māori are worse off when it comes to criminal justice under the current Government, as well as his long-term vision for shutting down New Zealand’s prisons altogether.

In this episode of Daybreak – Stuff announce their election campaign; the tragedy at Mount had all the warning signs which seemed to be ignored; the Greens want to take over the role of parenting; a poll suggests majority support for restricting voting to citizens; another flawed poll from Stuff which fails to ask the important question; $100m required for hospital security rather than cancer treatment, nurses, doctors & ambulances; number of teenagers potentially harmed by 2nd vaccine injection revealed; do kiwis really understand what Opportunity Party are really about; who is really responsible for the cost of living; Gore District Council are offended by the G word; Helen Clark continues to be on auto-dial with the media; Meta face their Big Tobacco moment; why does anyone listen to Candace’s “thinks”; and another woke church to avoid this weekend.

Has multiculturalism failed? In this episode of Family Matters, Simon is joined by Dr Kevin Donnelly AM from Australia.Kevin is a well-respected educationalist, commentator, and author. He has recently started writings on Substack on the question of multiculturalism and cultural relativism.Kevin argues multiculturalism has failed, preferring assimilation into shared Western liberal-democratic values rooted in Christianity, common law, and parliamentary institutions, and warns that incompatible legal and cultural systems, including Sharia and fundamentalist Islam, undermine social cohesion.They discuss how culture and education shape politics, rather than the other way around.#familyfirstnz #familymatters #multiculturalism #EducationMatters

The so-called experts (WPATH) on chemicalising and confusing children in the false attempt to make a boy a girl and a girl a boy made a stunning admission last week. So stunning that our NZ media ignored it - despite the significant link of WPATH to New Zealand (via PATHA). You’ll soon know why. It goes against all the narrative around so-called “gender affirmation”. The transgender movement’s sainted authority on medical issues is effectively admitting that there is more than one position on the issue—and telling a court that preserving open debate on transgender “health care” is a public good.

In this episode of Daybreak – NZ Herald editorial tries (badly) to argue that rise in faith-based schools is about belonging, not religion; what’s with all the prayer on the rugby field; media outlets use certain polls rather than the aggregate to push their own commentary; Stuff have been watching Daybreak; evidence abounds of where TOP’s votes are coming from; some of the media are finally starting to ask TOP the hard questions – and it’s not going well for TOP; Hipkins says Labour won’t have internal battles – say what?; are we becoming more polarised – and since when; 1News focus on homophobia rather than the dating app platform; France wants to ban social media but kill vulnerable people; and Caitlyn Jenner gives the solution to appropriate rules for women’s sports – biology.

We have known for some time that the Green Party has a ridiculous approach to law and order, and last week, Tamatha Paul once again demonstrated why the Greens should be kept well away from political decisions that affect our criminal justice system. TOP has been on the rise recently and has started backtracking on some of its policies around justice—which is actually a good thing, considering how foolish some of those policies were. However, they are still a party worth keeping an eye on in the months ahead.

Are Kiwis getting value for their time and money when they go to university? Do universities still shape young people in character and morality, or have they been overrun by anti-Western ideology? The panel discusses the statistics and their first-hand experiences to help wrestle with whether universities are still providing a vital public good—or have become a hugely profitable scam.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has arrived — and it’s breaking box-office records. But beyond the spectacular action, what is this new Spider-Man movie actually teaching your kids? In this review, Samuel takes a closer look at Spider-Man: Brand New Day from two perspectives: the quality of the film, but more importantly what should parents know about its content and messaging?

In this episode of Political Playback – was the coup against Luxon concocted by the media or by MPs – Simon O’Connor and Bob McCoskrie have differing views on this and put up their arguments for their position; what do the latest political polls show, and how are they being presented by the media; who is voting for the Opportunity Party according to the surveys; which political party has ruled out which political party – it’s quite the merry-go-round; the radical international transgender group associated with the NZ group challenging the ban on puberty blockers makes a stunning admission; and when should a public servant tell their bosses that they’re thinking of running for a political party.

In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon begins to breakdown the political dynamics of the last 48 hours of National Party leadership spill attempt. From the drivers of the instability to the role of media, the sacking of a Minister, to where to from here - Simon highlights some key factors in play, but also encourages viewers to tune in to Political Playback (5pm, today [Thursday]) to hear much more as he and Bob discuss all the happenings.

On this episode of Family Matters, Simon talks with Wynand Jacobs about the upcoming Marriage week (13-19 September). Wynand is the Executive Director of Family Life New Zealand and he and Simon talk about some of positive ways to transform and support marriages. While the conversation touches on some of the challenges married couples face, this is an encouraging discussion of how marriages can be made to last and flourish even in the face of adversity.

In this episode of Daybreak – will we have a new Prime Minister today, and what is the real agenda behind this leadership coup. Bob gives his opinion, and analyses the conservative voting record of the possible replacements, and who & what the media will be campaigning for; Chris Hipkins makes an announcement that surprises absolutely nobody; Stuff show their contempt for the Christian faith; Stuart Nash sounds a warning about private texts; some schools can’t handle kids trading Ooshies – don’t they remember our marble trading days?; the Australian Census was held last night and had similar woke questions like ours, and also some manipulation of the religion question – just like NZ; Massachusetts’ female Governor signs an abortion law as radical as Jacinda’s NZ one; more brave and beautiful men step up to play in the women’s basketball league in the US; and the Australian women’s AFL league proves why sporting bodies need to man up and protect women’s sports.

In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon has a chuckle at a recent Green MPs speech in parliament, declaring no woman every shoplifts for fun … yet seemingly has already forgotten a certain ex-colleague of theirs. He questions how the Department of Corrections every allowed two sexual offenders to marry and share a prison cell together. Simon also shares the latest UNICEF data around child malnutrition in the Middle East, and commenting how mainstream media will never report the findings as it doesn’t suit the anti-Israel narrative. Simon then discusses a New Zealand reporter’s decision to deliberately make a child fatherless, and then shares his experience speaking as part of the Free Speech Union’s “Good Faith Yarns” euthanasia debate in Wellington. He wraps up by quickly discussing Meta losing a court case over its targeting of children online, changes to how parents are informed about what is happening in schools, and a new Members Bill around reporting child harm.

In this episode of StraightTalk, we discuss: the latest political polls, the good news for Luxon, the announcement today from Chris Hipkins that only he seems surprised at, and will the media finally put the Opportunity Party under scrutiny or continue to give them a free pass; the panellists also make their predictions for the election outcome; we debate the electoral system of MMP and whether we should return to the old system of ‘First Past The Post’; is it time for a referendum on not just MMP but also the three-year political cycle; and finally, should politicians have limited terms of, for example, four terms equivalent to 12 years – or should it be simply up to the voters to determine the length of political life in Parliament.

What can we learn from Ellen Page's story? After renewed public attention surrounding her casting in The Odyssey, we examine some of the claims being made by her about gender, masculinity, and nature. More importantly, we look beyond the obvious logical flaws to the tragedy of a woman who has endured pain and trauma. Ellen has clearly been searching for freedom. She wants to be born again. But pretending to be a man is not going to achieve that.

In this episode of Daybreak – Luxon suggests we should debate the merits of MMP; Hipkins continues to get a massive free pass from the media as they obsess about the other Chris; we check out crowd attendance at some recent political meetings; Government does a U-turn on limiting the donation rebate as announced in May’s budget; an Iranian New Zealander explains why a mock execution is more than ‘political theatre’; a Prime Minister uses the NZ Defence Force for travel – can you guess who; educators in both Australia and NZ are finally starting to figure out that the amount of screentime in schools could be problematic; puff pieces on expanding euthanasia continue in the media; WSJ highlights the health benefits of being an involved grandparent; Americans’ support for same-sex marriage declining – and one religious group is especially noteworthy; Fauci to be held in contempt; topless sunbathers decide to cover up in Spain; the Democrats in the US go even more radical; and another woke church to avoid this Sunday.

Social media has become a central part of young people’s lives, but at what cost? A growing body of research is examining its impact on anxiety, depression, and the wider youth mental health crisis. So, what should we do about it? Should governments step in? Would age restrictions or an outright ban work, and what might the unintended consequences be? In the latest episode of CounterCulture, the panel debates the evidence, the role of parents and technology companies, and whether government regulation is the answer.

In this episode of Political Playback – has the Government backed down on their attack on charitable giving; is the Roy Morgan poll rogue; what’s happening with the social media ban; 250 young people change their sex on their birth certificate; the campaign to expand euthanasia eligibility continues; should we limit who can stand for Parliament – and should we have a referendum on MMP & parliamentary terms; why is Luxon being targeted by the media but not Hipkins; is Winston racist – or just good at giving as good as he gets in the debating chamber; NZ First wants families to have more babies; ACT wants to tackle violent behaviour in schools; and why is ACT called out for their advertising but Chloe and the PSA aren’t.

On this episode of Family Matters, Simon talks with Australian child safety advocate and former Western Australia police detective Kristy McVee about child sexual exploitation and the tactics of those involved in grooming. While a challenging topic, it is important for parents to understand what is happening and be better informed as to how to protect their children. Kristi shares how she entered policing as a young mother, trained as a specialist child interviewer to gather children’s evidence for court. She then moved into child sexual abuse investigations for a decade before leaving in 2020 to educate parents who often told her they didn’t know the red flags around exploitation.

Bob talks to ACT Party leader, and Deputy Prime Minister, David Seymour about the ‘reasonable force’ plan for disruptive students policy just announced, is there really an issue in classrooms, how bad has student behaviour got, and is this also time to revisit the anti-smacking law. They also discuss the possible solutions to the harms of social media to teenagers if a social media ban isn't the solution, will a ban on smartphones solve some of the problem as proposed by ACT, and is the real issue lax parenting or are Big Tech needing to be held to account.#familyfirstnz

In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon returns after missing a few shows and gives a quick update on why. He then talks about the wonderful recovery of 25 week year old baby Ada, who was born 854 grams. Simon then turns his attention overseas, noting the focus now coming onto US basketball star, Sophie Cunningham, for speaking up boldly and clearly in defence of girls sport. He also discusses the awful Islamic terrorist attack in Berlin, noting how many political and media figures cannot bring themselves to admit who and what is behind the attack. Simon also warns against calls here in New Zealand to create blasphemy laws. The show wraps up with a discussion of a recent court decision around gang patches, with Simon pointing out how a judge has gone beyond their remit and overriding a decision the Parliament has clearly made.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW - Bob talks to New Zealand First leader Winston Peters about the baby bonus policy just announced, the possible solutions to the harms of social media to teenagers if a social media ban isn't the solution, and also political threats coming from the left - and is he racist?#familyfirstnz #WinstonPeters #NZFirst #election2026 #election

Fauci Faces the Facts! This is a must-watch episode of BiltonTruth with Samuel Bilton.Dr. Anthony Fauci is finally facing questions under oath after being compelled to appear before a U.S congressional committee. Although Biden has already pardoned him for any crimes he may have committed over the COVID years. However unlike some in a similar position here in New Zealand, Fauci was made to show up in person to answer for the decisions he made, he was in the room, but he didn’t quite have the guts to turn around and face those who's lives he affected.#familyfirstnz

1957 was the last time New Zealand carried out the death penalty. But every so often, a crime is so disturbing, so evil, that people begin to ask the question: should we bring it back? In this episode, the panel discuss the death penalty from a biblical perspective and whether true justice can exist without it.

Last week Bob was at the Social Conservative Policy Conference (SoConCon) in Washington DC with social conservative leaders from the US & also Canada. Jojo Ruba is from the Cornerstone Institute (Canada) which is similar to Family First. We discuss social & moral issues which both Canada and NZ are dealing with - including abortion, euthanasia, 'conversion therapy' bans, the rapid expansion of euthanasia, Canada's disturbing hate speech laws, prostitution, anti-smacking laws and gender ideology. What can we learn from Canada's experience, and what can we warn them about.

The Tate Brothers have been arrested, again. Will these charges see them sent to the UK to be convicted and imprisoned? Either way Samuel makes the case that it should be the end of the Tate Brothers having any influence in conservative circles. In fact they never should have been given a platform amongst conservatives to begin with.

Bob reports from Washington DC where he’s attending the SoConCon conference for social conservative groups. He reflects on ‘dumb’ political statements said during the week and which ones should we really be concerned about. And then some reflections on his conclusions from the conference he has attended and what the ‘culture war’ really is.

A surprising number of people believe the Earth is flat, that America never landed on the moon, and that Erica Kirk may have had something to do with the taking of the life of her own husband. But conspiracy theories have been around for a long time, and with the invention of the internet, they now spread like wildfire. In this episode, the panel discuss how we can approach conspiracy theories in a productive way, while keeping in mind that some conspiracy theories do end up being proven true.

Join Simon and guest host, Brendan Malone, on this LIVE political commentary show. As with all weeks, no shortage of topics to discuss.

The biggest sporting event on the planet has come to an end for another four years, and Spain are the champions of the world. But there were plenty of lessons we can learn from what unfolded on the field. From the Argentinians seeing red, to opponents having a unity that went beyond their nation, and the name of the Lord being praised during the half time show. There was plenty at this World Cup to celebrate.

Simon then shares some pictures and highlights from his recent trip to London, Morocco, and Portugal. The show ends with a quick discussion about a recent conference in the United States addressing the predominance of left-wing violence, something Simon argues is important to discuss and confront.

In this episode of Political Playback with guest commentator Ashley Church – the latest polls and the political trend; is Paul Henry a win for ACT; Luxon’s lovefest with India and Modi – but is it a significant win; are voters finally waking up to the Opportunity Party not being centrist but clearly left-leaning; the latest euthanasia statistics and the likely next stage of the slippery slope; why do all the Zoes and Abigails making submissions on the definition of woman bill think alike; left wing political parties still clearly want ‘hate speech’ laws; the media use a serial complainant against school lunches; and is David Seymour on to something when he suggests banning smartphones for under-16s rather than social media for under-16s?

On this episode of Family Matters – a first for the podcast! Simon sits down with two guests, Australian pro-life advocates Elspeth McKellar and Lola Popoola from Bird Flip. What is Bird Flip? Well, it’s a new, youthful, and dynamic social media and events brand that literally and figuratively wants to flip the bird at the abortion industry. It’s a deliberately cheeky yet also serious name as those at Bird Flip seek to confront the pro-abortion messaging and expose the many lies within society, as well as bringing urgency to protecting unborn children.

We speak to our US correspondent Glenn Stanton from Focus on the Family in Colorado. Topics include: pride month, the disturbing targeting of children but the decreasing involvement of corporations; 250th anniversary celebrations on July 4th; two significant decisions from the US Supreme Court around birthright citizenship and 'transgender' sports; and just how many hot dogs can be eaten in 10 minutes - and why is it even a sport!

In this important episode of Family Matters, Simon O'Connor interviews Colm Gannon, CEO of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children , on the escalating problem of child sexual exploitation and abuse, driven by the digital age.They both discuss how this is not a frequently discussed topic, and yet one that needs to be bought out into the open. Colm cites Australia’s 2023 Child Maltreatment Survey finding one in four children experienced unlawful sexual contact, and says similar research is needed in New Zealand. Colm describes cyber tip reports from the US National Center for Missing & Exploited (NCMEC) Children rising by over 20 million year-on-year for four years. Simon notes that New Zealand’s own Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) have just reported a 29% increase in the last year, with over 20,000 reports about New Zealanders via NCMEC. He also notes that there has been almost 700,000 blocked attempts to access known abuse sites. In their discussion, they outline abuse types including sextortion and self-generated images, recorded abuse shared or stored online, enticement and grooming using gaming currencies like Roblox, and emerging “sadistic” exploitation involving coercion into self-harm or suicide, alongside concerns about AI companion chatbots. Colm says NZ’s Digital Safety Directorate is a small, overstretched team, arguing for smarter workflows using technology (including AI triage and ethical facial recognition) plus strong guardrails and accountability for tech built with criminal intent. Simon and Colm then discuss the whole question of internet bans for young people. Colm critiques Australia’s social media minimum age approach as ineffective and potentially giving platforms a “get out” from investing in child safety, favouring device-level age assurance signals and removing “co-mingling” so under-16s can communicate without adults contacting them directly. He explains app-store age gates can be bypassed via sideloading, so protections must hit multiple layers (“safety stack”) and be backed by regulation. The conversation also highlights ICMEC Australia’s origin after a financial institution was fined $1.3B for facilitating monies related to exploitation, and that as part of this fine, a $25M donation launched the centre. Colm talks of his ambition to replicate ICMEC’s work in New Zealand. Simon and Colm end by discussing suggestions for parents - prioritising face-to-face conversations with your kids, be ready for disclosures, respond calmly, and understand that risks extend beyond social media to messaging apps and gaming platforms.
