We’re joined by special guest Bevan Holloway to discuss his report on the Ministerial Advisory Group hijacking review processes to drastically change the curriculum while ignoring expert advice, process and institutional norms. We discuss the issues, the details and the implications alongside the broader rightwing strategy to subvert democracy in favour of ideologues.

System Change Aotearoa have kindly provided us the audio from their 20 August 2024 public meeting about a radical left party in NZ. Enjoy!
Do we need a new party of the radical left? This is a crucial question facing anticapitalists in Aotearoa today.
We live in an era of extreme inequality. The threat of climate breakdown looms over everything. Yet governments around the world sit idly by as the rich get richer and the climate crisis worsens.
On the left, we see a clear explanation for this: the capitalist system is designed to always prioritise corporate profits over people and planet. Yet right-wing populism is on the rise, scapegoating minorities for society's problems. Aotearoa now has the most right-wing government in decades, pursuing an agenda of austerity whilst attacking Te Tiriti.
We must organise to fight back. But do we need a new party to do this?
System Change Aotearoa is excited to host Sue Bradford to speak on this vital topic. Sue is a lifelong activist who has been fighting for working people for decades. She will be drawing on her experience as a former Green Party MP and candidate for Mana, as she shares her thoughts on why a new party is necessary.
Sue published a paper on this subject in 2017. She argued that the role of such a party is not merely to stand in elections. We are talking about a party which seeks to organise the resistance to capitalism across society, in workplaces and in the streets, and in Parliament only when it is strategic to do so.
Elliot Crossan will be speaking on behalf of System Change. He will be speaking on the rebirth of the radical left across the world in the last decade, and why the time for a new party is right.

This week we talk about the clear lack of shift in the US genocide policy, including the recent escalation by IOF in the West Bank and VP Harris continuing Biden’s platform. In NZ the right-wing National coalition continues to break norms while passing anti-democratic policy without a mandate or giving the public an opportunity to make submissions - we discuss the last minute change to “gang laws” and the hijacking of the curriculum review.

The DNC Convention showcased the best of entertainment propaganda to run cover for US genocide complicity but they still couldn’t help themselves but reiterate their thirst for bloodshed. Closer to home lobbying and corruption accelerate in NZ under one of the most regressive governments we’ve ever had.

The National coalition government continues to decimate NZ’s public service and enact disastrous policy even as evidence and public opinion mount against them - we discuss the anti-democratic attack on Health services and the recently released Abuse in State Care report. Over in the US their genocide complicity has a new coat of paint in Kamala Harris, and liberals are flocking to the new campaign.

Back for another week of current events we kick it off with the US Presidential debate then descend into Israel’s seeming insistence on turning their genocide into a war on multiple fronts. Julian Assange is free, but Kanaky Independence leaders have been taken prisoner and shipped to France. And in NZ the National coalition is increasingly cruel and unfettered by evidence or reality.

Meanwhile Te Pāti Māori have begun protest actions this week - how does that operate and why aren’t more people supporting them on the left? And how corrupt can National be before it comes back to bite them?

Josephine is recently back from India where national elections are just getting underway, we discuss democracy in the Global South. And Winston Peters is making a joke of NZ again with his recent comments about an Australian politician and AUKUS.

Lots to discuss in domestic NZ politics this week, but we start with the discovery of mass graves in Gaza and the response to that on US university campuses. In NZ the National coalition is going after the gangs and few people are speaking out for human rights for fear of the association. Two ministers are demoted within 6 months and a third has been summonsed by the Waitangi Tribunal - where are the narratives about chaos and instability?

We discuss the cynicism and nastiness of the Cass Report and the stitch up between political and media classes to attack trans healthcare.

From the coverage of MP Golriz Ghahraman to David Seymour’s bizarre pronouncements about Te Tiriti it seems like there is little understanding of the ways in which news reporting is compromised, and this directly assists with the astro-turfing and radicalisation of politics in the West.

Political news in NZ has been on hiatus with National and it’s partners refusing to discuss coalition negotiations and the parliamentary gallery seemingly unable to do anything about that. In to the gap has flowed respectability politics as pundits wonder “why haven’t the Greens saved National from Winston Peters??”. We discuss that absurdity alongside the question of how the left moves forward electorally over the next three to nine years.

This mid-week episode we’ve been kindly afforded the audio of Aotearoa Covid Action’s latest symposium.
Have you noticed more people seem to be sick?
You're not alone, Kiwi's are taking 78% more sick days. One school has had to close this year due to overwhelming staff illness.
We can end the disruptions to our lives and our health, but only if we take the practical lessons from the last 3 years.
Hear from experts on what we've learned about children's health since 2020, why people are getting sick, and most importantly, what we can do to keep our whānau safe.
Speakers
-
Dr Amanda Kvalsvig, Paediatric Epidemiologist
-
Dr Elspeth Frascatore, Emergency Medicine Physician
-
Conor Browne, Strategic Health Advisor

We touch briefly on that dynamic but also try to cover MDRS, managed retreat and Hipkins’ ludicrous comments on the tertiary sector.

Aotearoa has had an excellent response to Covid compared to most countries, but it's not beyond scrutiny. In fact there continue to be serious problems with Government action and strategy on the response.
Last year politicians formed an Epidemic Response Committee to question Government decisions. But since then we've seen most politicians can't or won't point out Government failures where they really matter. So we have to do it ourselves. Let's find out what we can do better.
Let's share this far and wide so that our leaders can hear.
We talk about NZ’s current COVID response and the attack in Auckland mall late last week. We’re then joined by Luke Savage to talk about the current electoral situation in Canada where Justin Trudeau and the ruling Liberal Party have just called a snap election - 2 years early.

In 2018, nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants went on strike for the first time in 29 years. They won significant concessions from the DHBs, but their ultimate goal of addressing the chronic understaffing was promised and not delivered. At the start of the bargaining there was no campaign, and members of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, NZNO, built one themselves, against the wishes of their union leadership.
We spoke with;
Erin, a nurse based in Wellington
Grant Brookes, member electedPresident of the NZNO @grantbrookesnz

Part 3! In 2010, Talleys, one of NZ’s biggest companies and owned by one of its richest families, took full control of the AFFCO Meatworks. It then embarked on a 5 year campaign to de-unionise it’s workforce. But workers in Wairoa and towns across the country said no. They were locked out 3 times in 5 years. This is the story of their resistance and goes to the heart of strategic debate about what is symbolic vs what builds leverage.

In 2016, Aotearoa New Zealand’s parliament passed a law banning the use of Zero Hours Contracts. In the preceding two years, Unite the Union had forced fast-food companies to stop using them in their contracts. The campaign was the culmination of their organising which started in the Supersize My Pay campaign from 2003.
The campaign was an excellent example of having an industrial strategy as a lever for a political strategy. By having a concrete focus - trying to stop fast-food companies from using Zero Hours - they were able to create a national outrage against the practice, which ended with a National government supporting a change to the law. As many successful campaigns are, they also got lucky, because the media latched onto the issue and covered it in detail.
We spoke with;
Mike Treen, Unite’s National Director at the time
Yvette Seep, Unite delegate and Assistant Manager at Restaurant Brands at the time. Yvette is now a Unite Lead Organiser

On this day 35 years ago, July 9, the homosexual law reform bill passed it’s third reading and sex between men was finally decriminalised. The campaign polarised New Zealand to levels not seen since the Springbok Tour in 1981, as a vicious anti-campaign took hold, driven by fundamentalist churches.
The campaign mobilised support from a broad range of organisations, as gay men, lesbians and others tried to keep their coalition together, in the face of different objectives internally and ferocious hostility externally.
We spoke with;
Bill Logan, the Gay Task Force spokesperson at the time (@BolshevikBill)
Fran Wilde, who was the Labour MP that sponsored the bill
Ruth Dyson, future Labour MP and parliamentary assistant to Fran
Evin Wood, who was a 40 year teacher in Blenheim at the time

In 1981, at the same time as Ronald Reagan, an anti-tax, far right celebrity won the Presidency, socialist Bernie Sanders became the mayor of Burlington in the then conservative state of Vermont. The campaign around him stunned everyone, and won by just 10 votes. It was the start of a political revolution in Vermont, and the strategy for how they won and then governed would, against all the odds, win them a clear majority in the 1983 re-election.

On May 29 2019, Aotearoa New Zealand’s entire education sector went out on a ‘mega-strike’, for the first time in history. During 10 years of the National Government the education sector was in crisis. NZEI Te Riu Roa, the primary teachers union, had steadily grown its capacity to campaign when teachers resisted some of the worst reforms imposed on them. By 2019 the profession was united around a strategy of deep member engagement, escalation and a clear narrative, ‘It’s Time’.
We spoke with NZEI Campaign Director Stephanie Mills, lead negotiator at the time and current NZEI President Liam Rutherford (@lrutherfordnz) and Auckland based primary teacher Kahli Olivera.

New Zealand’s model of decriminalised sex work has been studied the world over. With their limited resources, their campaign was tightly focused on parliament with a clear focus on a
