Family First Episodes

Here are the latest episodes from Family First’s shows and livestreams, discussing and debating a range of topics without any constraints – get the insights and commentary which you won’t get from the mainstream media. We cut through the spin and discuss the issues related to family and society.

In this episode of StraightTalk, we discuss: the latest bombshell poll from 1News tonight that could result in Chloe being Minister of Finance, Marama as Minister for Pride Parades and Tamatha as Minister of Police; strategic voting – should you do it and what does it even mean; Value Your Vote 2026 has just been launched – we get a review from the panelists; we also ask the panelists whether they’ve read Nicky Hagar’s book and did they get a mention given that it’s a book on the haaaaaard right; and should government consult with parents on sex education or just tell parents what they’re going to teach.
