Episode Details

This investigation just took a sharp turn. What started as concerns about the India free trade deal has now landed right in the heart of New Zealand workplaces.

We share detailed allegations from a franchise owner at a pizza chain, claiming migrant workers are paying tens of thousands of dollars for jobs delivering pizzas, while Kiwis remain out of work. The claims include fee payments of up to $30,000, alleged breaches of immigration rules, and systems that appear designed to favour overseas labour over locals.

Duncan also reads messages from insiders across multiple industries, raising wider concerns about wages, standards, and trust. This episode goes beyond economics and straight into what this deal could mean socially and politically, with voters already forming opinions ahead of the next election.
