Speaker Gerry Brownlee on Parliament Haka Fallout | Panel - Sir Roger Douglas, Craig Renney, Peeni Henare, Matthew Tukaki | Bradbury Group

Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury this week welcomes a very special guest in the form of Speaker of the House Gerry Brownlee, to unpack the Parliament haka debacle - was the punishment a principled defence of procedure, or a tone-deaf crackdown on tikanga? The panel of all stars features Peeni Henare, Matthew Tukaki, Craig Renney, and the one and only Sir Roger Douglas. The four take on the Government’s $6 billion infrastructure “announcement” (spoiler... it’s old news dressed up as new hope). Economic growth has flatlined, inflation’s creeping back, and term deposits are ballooning for the already-rich while Māori unemployment sits at an alarming number. Meanwhile, National sells residency to billionaires while blaming Labour for an economy they're clearly steering. Oh - and the Minister of Defence wants us war-ready. Against who? China? Trump? The moon? Powered by Waatea News. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
