The GreenplanetFM Podcast with Tim Lynch

In this interview anti-privatisation and anti-corruption whistle-blower, Penny Bright, talks on issues around the three Cs - Corruption, Contractocracy, and Corporate Welfare, as well as issues around the private procurement model for public services. Penny says the root cause of most corruption is privatisation. She asks why the Public Records Act is not being fully implemented and enforced in New Zealand. If New Zealand is truly 'the least corrupt country in the world' - shouldn't we arguably be the most transparent? She says public transport is not public, and asks what the implications are of a fuel tax. Penny has been involved in opposing the Tamaki 'Regeneration' project and speaks about dubious government and private dealings there. She talks on the murdered Maltese investigative journalist who exposed the Panama Papers and has found some disturbing New Zealand connections. Penny also speaks on State Capture, where private interests significantly influence the government’s decision-making processes to
