New Zealand’s social fabric is fraying — and tonight, Martyn Bradbury holds power to account.
🎙️ *1-on-1 in 10 with Police Minister Mark Mitchell*
A $1.3 billion Police budget. Organised crime flooding our communities with methamphetamine. And a social carnage that shows no sign of slowing. Martyn Bradbury asks Police Minister Mark Mitchell the question New Zealanders are demanding answers to: has the Government actually got on top of the meth crisis — or are they just spending big and delivering nothing?
🎙️ *Extra 1-on-1 in 10 with Te Pāti Māori co-Leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer*
New Zealand’s prison population is set to explode — and the trigger isn’t violent crime. It’s shoplifting law changes that are funnelling petty offenders directly into an already broken corrections system. Te Pāti Māori co-Leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer joins Martyn to ask the hard question: how is jailing shoplifters any different to arresting the homeless? Is this counterproductive social policy dressed up as law and order?
