Leighton Smith Podcast #350 - October 21st 2026 - Shane Jones

In Podcast 350,  the NZ First Deputy Leader presents the case for both himself and the party.

Even Mr Jones confesses the he can be a little aggressive at times. Or as he puts it,  “brutal at times”.

However, honest communication is always welcome and constructive.

His manner of delivery always conveys a genuine eloquence, but policy is the important factor.

“We have to ensure that the birthstone of democracy is citizenship”, and “we are going through a period of democratic engineering”.

These quotes offer a glimpse of the thought provoking nature of our discussion.

And, of course, we delve into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
