Frontline Kiwi workers are struggling to pay for food and rent, while politicians are giving away billions to the very rich. Public services are being cut back, privatised, and sold off. This is not how you build a stronger, healthier, or safer society. It’s time to stop the vandalism and rebuild NZ. Join Dr Gary Payinda and guests on The Frontline.

  • An Absolute Must-Listen

    We in NZ need this. The interview with a fair tax law expert was clear and riveting. Keep it going to inspire us to vote wisely and recoup a semblance of fairness at the next election. Maybe we could even save our Health System. Thank you, Dr Gary.

  • Awesome stuff

    Thanks so much for this Gary! The data doesn’t lie.

    Sad to hear how utterly neglected our health sector has been by recent governments.

    I really hope we can turn this around.
