In Episode 22 of The Good Oil Podcast, Cam sits down with veteran left-winger, political strategist, and unapologetic straight-talker Matt McCarten.

And things get heated fast.

In one of Cam’s most explosive conversations yet, Matt fires off blistering allegations about Labour MP Willie Jackson, the Jackson whānau’s influence, and the power dynamics surrounding the Manukau Urban Māori Authority (MUMA).

Matt has spent decades in the trenches of New Zealand politics, fighting for low-paid workers on Struggle Street, pushing for cultural change where it counts, and navigating storms most New Zealanders never see.

He’s blunt. He’s battle-tested. And he absolutely doesn’t duck the hard punches.
