In episode ten of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with Unite New Zealand founder and leader, Lee Taituha.

Raised in the Kingitanga movement and shaped by frontline service, Lee’s career has spanned armed security, law enforcement, and senior leadership roles in education, science, and economics.

One of the most qualified Maori voices in politics, he argues the need for a single constitution, lifting living standards, and why Unite NZ is pushing for a bold, values-driven reset of politics and culture.

In episode nine of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with political commentator and historian Chris Trotter.

A lifelong man of the Left, Chris isn’t afraid to call out the contradictions within his own side, or anyone else’s.

From union halls to newsroom columns, he’s spent decades in the trenches of New Zealand’s political debate, and he’s never been one to bite his tongue.

In this episode, Chris opens up about the state of the Left, the erosion of democratic institutions, and what’s really driving the culture wars.

He’s sharp, provocative, and rooted in conviction.

In episode nine of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with veteran political commentator Chris Trotter.

A staunch voice on the Left, Chris doesn’t shy from calling out hypocrisy, wherever it shows up.

He talks class politics, cultural divides, and why the Left risks losing its soul.

Sharp, provocative, and rooted in conviction.

In episode eight of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with ex-National MP Simon O’Connor.

Once a seminarian, Simon was one of the few politicians willing to say what many are thinking.

Over a decade in Parliament, Simon built a reputation for going against the grain — unapologetically pro-life, pro-free speech, and sceptical of the creeping influence of identity politics.

In this episode, he talks candidly about modern politics, why he stood firm during Covid when others folded, the importance of Israel, and what he sees as the moral crossroads facing New Zealand today.

It’s honest, raw, and refreshingly unfiltered.
