- Simon Bridges is the former leader of the National party, and the first ever Māori to lead a major party in New Zealand.
We cover a lot of ground here- the good, the bad and the ugly. And there is plenty of each!
We chat about his very recent serious fall off a Lime scooter, his early acting role on Hercules, his law career including his time as a crown prosecutor and the toll that takes on a person’s mental health.
Then we get into politics- including his regular TV appearances with Jacinda Arden and the on-screen chemistry they had. Getting told off by then PM John Key, receiving death threats, being publicly mocked for how he speaks, his reflections on voting against hay marriage. Life after politics and much much more.

Ok coming into this one with "give him a chance" attitude... May my zen be strong today lol
Wish me luck!!
😂😂
Hahaha love this attitude so much 😂
He is a good man even though at the time I didn't vote for him,
Be great if you could break the podcast into chapters, so listeners can sift past sections thet're not interested in.
Thanks for this feedback. I will get to work on that
I remember congratulating you in the Auckland Koru lounge after you were announced leader.
You asked if I was a National supporter to which I said No.
You then said oh well, hopefully we can change that.
I liked your charisma, but I still couldn’t vote for either big party.
Great kōrero Simon, I can relate a lot to your origin story🤙
Bloody hell, I'm 58 and I don't recall crying in my life.
