Paul Brennan and ACT MP Todd Stephenson dive into the Manurewa Marae affair, exposing data safeguarding failures and the shocking resignation of the head of Stats NZ. They break down the investigation into government contracts linked to John Tamihere’s trust and Manurewa Marae, raising critical questions about governance and accountability.

Beyond the scandal, they tackle the urgent need for cultural change in the public service, the latest moves on public sector reform, and New Zealand’s position on international trade. Could the country be on the brink of removing its last tariffs on US products?
