Send us a text School lunches should be simple — feed the kids, support families, and make sure no child goes hungry. But in New Zealand, even something as basic as lunch has been turned into a political weapon. In this episode, I break down the story of Ka Ora, Ka Ako, and how this Government is deliberately running the programme into the ground — not to save money, but to feed a narrative that blames struggling families instead of fixing the system. This isn’t just about food — it’s about how politics works when no one’s watching.

Send us a text New Zealand’s housing crisis isn’t just about high prices—it’s about a system that keeps people stuck. Home ownership is out of reach, rent is unaffordable, and Kāinga Ora is bleeding taxpayer money without solving the problem. In this episode of Piecing Together Unity , Nigel McFall breaks down why government-led housing solutions are failing and lays out Unity’s bold plan to make home ownership possible again. From modular homes under $150K to interest-free loans and rent-to-own pathways , this strategy shifts housing from a financial burden to a foundation for independence. Nigel also explores how communal living models can lower costs, create jobs, and provide long-term solutions—while ensuring Māori land rights are respected and housing remains sustainable. If you’re tired of the same broken system and want real solutions for affordable housing , this episode is for you. Thanks for listening to Piecing Together Unity!
