Скачать или смотреть Māori Politics Is Fractured And At War: Waitangi 2026 Analysis

Waitangi 2026 was supposed to be a reset, but instead, it felt like a messy rerun of noise and symbolism.

Duncan Garner argues that Māori politics is now a battlefield of hecklers and infighting, leaving ordinary Māori voters drifting while iwi elites sit on billions in assets. We look at the "protest theater" and ask whether a stale strategy is leading the movement toward irrelevance.

NZ First Deputy Leader Shane Jones joins the show to share his no-nonsense take on the "pantomime performances" and the generational power struggle currently fracturing Māori leadership. We also dig into the political fallout of Peeni Henare’s resignation from Labor and what it says about the state of the opposition.

Finally, we pivot to the "day job" as Shane updates us on a potential US accord for critical minerals and rare earth elements.
