  1. I enjoyed the show.
    And I think all the participants did as well.
    TheI Bradbury Group is going from strength to strength, this session particularly has cemented the Bradbury Group as the, go to place, for serious political commentators and politicians this election.

    Small hiccup, that due to technical difficulties, our PM in waiting couldn’t attend. But I hope he stayed on the line and listened to the rest of the show and enjoyed it as much as I did.

    Cheers Brother keep up the good work.

    P.S. I think the format is great, whoever thought of it, is a genius. The 1-on-1 in 10, works well. The genius of the 1-on-1 in 10 is that placing a senior politician in a more comfortable space, a less adversarial space, (than a panel), where they are not getting interrupted and criticised, by their rivals, and are free to articulate their vision in peace can be far more illuminateing than a poltical shouting match that many set piece political debates between rival political leaders often degenerate into.

    Can’t wait until the Bradbury Group becomes so prestigious that even the PM will want to sit in, for his 1-on-1 with you.

  2. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/winston-peters-calls-ryan-bridges-coalition-query-a-wer-question-during-on-air-interview/ZMNNQGLAIBA7PIZDZBZ4MJCZZU/

    Please ask the question how a media presenter in Bridge can unapologetically interview Winston on behalf of the right wing. “Can we trust that you won’t go with Labour and put our economy at risk” was one of his questions. This is a disgraceful biased opinion and once and for all confirm that the NZ Herald and it’s reporters are shills for the right wing.
