2025 wasn't a great year for Te Pāti Māori, with lots of in-fighting and political games. It was a shambles. Are they imploding? Simon O'Connor and Bob McCoskrie discuss this as we revisit a popular segment from Political Playback. Meanwhile, the Family First team will soon return with new content and new shows, in a busy year leading up to the General Election. It's going to be a cracker.

We're gearing up to soon launch into 2026 with new content (and new shows 💥). Today we revisit an episode of Family Matters with Dr Kevin Donnelly, on challenging the woke.

Dr Kevin Donnelly AM is a leading public intellectual in Australia. He is a frequent commentator and author around education and wider cultural issues. His most recent book is 'Wake Up To Woke It’s Time, Australia'.

Simon O'Connor sits down with him for a wide ranging chat from why groups are trying to push gender ideology into public libraries and schools; why parents rights are being undermined; and why progressives are obsessed with language. This and much more, so well worth tuning in.

As the Family First team are gearing up to soon launch into 2026 with new content (and new shows 💥) let's take a look at some of our most popular content of 2025. Today we revisit "The Media’s Lovefest With Jacinda (& Her Book)" - the 7th most popular McBlog episode of 2025 (on YouTube).
