The Greens’ new mining policy isn’t just bold. Duncan calls it what it is - reckless economic sabotage. In today’s episode, he breaks down exactly what it would mean if a future government tore up mining permits that companies had already spent years and millions securing. Investor confidence falls through the floor, regions lose jobs, and Kiwi workers head to Australia because the opportunities here get pulled out from under them. New Zealand First's Shane Jones joins the show to unpack the scale of the damage, from constitutional overreach to the reality of what foreign investors are saying behind closed doors. If the Greens want to scare off capital before projects even start, Duncan argues, this is exactly how to do it. We also hear from a government worker offering rare insight into real public sector cuts, despite claims to the contrary. It’s all part of a bigger question - how do we build anything in this country, when every long-term project becomes a political football?

The latest Ipsos Issues Monitor has smacked National clean in the face, and Duncan is fired up. This isn’t just a bad poll. It’s voters across the country saying they’re worse off, still struggling with the basics, and not buying what National’s selling. A 3.9 out of 10 performance score is more than rough. It’s a warning shot. Ani O’Brien joins Duncan to unpack why cost of living sits at the top of the pile, why National’s messaging has never landed, and how Labour is somehow looking more trustworthy on the economy despite the mess it left behind. We get into leadership questions, the lack of tough decisions, the frustration of half measures, and whether Chris Luxon’s team is actually hearing what people are saying. There’s also a look at crime, policing, the Greens’ latest missteps, and the brutal political reality heading into 2026. If National doesn’t get moving fast, voters won’t wait around.

Te Pāti Māori is in free fall. That is the only honest way to describe what has happened inside the party this week. The sackings of two MPs look unconstitutional, the process looks stitched up, and dozens of people who should have voted never even had the chance. Members have contacted us directly and their message is clear: the party has been swallowed by one man’s network. Today Duncan breaks down the tangled web around John Tamihere, the family links, the work connections, and the extraordinary level of influence running through almost every layer of the party. When the president’s relatives, employees and loyalists sit across key seats and national council positions, how democratic is the process really? We look at why this matters, why the expulsions may not stand up to scrutiny, and why some inside the movement are now calling for JT to step aside before the whole project collapses. Plus, we hear from listeners frustrated by the state of frontline services, from hospitals to basic safety. This is a moment of reckoning for Te Pāti Māori. The question now is whether the party survives the storm. Find every episode and discover your next favourite podcast on the rova app or rova.nz Learn more about your ad choices.

Alright, I’ve heard some dumb ideas in my time, but this one might take the cake. The Government’s actually floating the idea of banning people from rough sleeping in our city centres — banning homelessness.Then they deny it. Then they confirm it. Then they back-pedal. It’s like watching a policy written on a napkin after a long lunch.But here’s the real issue — you can’t solve homelessness by hiding it. You can’t PR-spin poverty out of existence. We’ve got people sleeping under bus stops in Auckland because there’s not even a men’s night shelter in our biggest city.I’m joined by Ashley Church and former National Minister Maurice Williamson, two sharp thinkers who don’t mince words.Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSypyI8wbnZgJDYY0VCdwJQ/join Get in touch with Duncan - duncan@rova.nz and join us on the socials.

big move from the Government this week. Erica Stanford’s had the guts to do what no one else would: ditch the Treaty requirement from our schools. Finally, someone’s put common sense before politics. For too long, our kids have been fed ideology instead of education. This isn’t about erasing history — it’s about freeing schools to actually teach. Of course, it’ll upset some, but most Kiwis will quietly be nodding along. I break it all down — what it means, why it matters, and why this might just be the moment National grows a spine.

“the worst council deal of the century” — a $31 million, 25-year lease between Taupō District Council and the local iwi that leaves ratepayers footing the bill with no asset in return.
