Te Kaupapa Election 2026 weekend political podcast: with Willie Jackson and Matthew Tukaki

Does Willie Jackson look like Zinzan Brooke? In fairness, Willie doesn’t hold back!

Today on Te Kaupapa! Fast track to nowhere? Matthew Tukaki is joined by Labour Party MP Willie Jackson, and also joining Matthew in the studio is political commentator, Martyn Bomber Bradbury.

This week, the world watches as the crisis in the Middle East deepens, with warnings that the language being used signals something far more dangerous than conflict.

Back home, questions are growing over the Government’s FastTrack powers and whether they’re being used to revive projects that were already dead in the water.

We head into Te Urewera, where pressure is mounting on the Crown over decisions affecting whenua and tino rangatiratanga.

And we wrap with the economy, where the reality for whānau doesn’t seem to match the official story.

Tune in right here each weekend @ 10am
