Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury

Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury (b. 1974) is a New Zealand media commentator, a radio and TV host, and is currently the Producer of Alt TV.

Bradbury is the Producer of NZ's Alternative music and culture channel ALT TV and a co-author of the Tumeke! blog which he edited following Tim Selwyn's incarceration for sedition 2006-7.

Bradbury is a former editor (2004-5) of Rip It Up, a New Zealand music magazine. He also hosted an investigative television series called "Stake-Out" which used hidden cameras to catch people in the act of committing criminal acts on film thereby exposing the wrongdoers to the New Zealand public. Stake Out was successfully taken to court by one "subject" who won damages relating to false information given by Stake Out. Prior to that he was the host of the 'Late night talk lounge' on former Alternative music station Channel Z, as well as a regular DJ during various time slots. More recently, he has been a guest on various panel discussions on "Afternoons with Jim Mora' on Radio NZ National. Bradbury was the elected editor of the Auckland University Students' Association's (AUSA) Craccum magazine for the 1997 year, and elected co-editor with Stuart Gardiner for the 1995 year. Before that he was the poetry editor. His tenure as editor was marked by controversial articles including an instructional article on the proper techniques for using various illegal drugs. At university he was involved with left-wing activities, protests and registry occupations, being arrested on at least one occasion. He graduated with a BA in English and Philosophy from the University of Auckland in 1998.

Bradbury was given the nickname 'Bomber' by a former Craccum Editor, reputedly to describe his bombastic personality. An alternative origin of the nickname is due to a style of hat which Bradbury favoured. He has been described by the New Zealand Listener as the "most opinionated man in New Zealand".

Bradbury has recently gained media attention after leaking a New Zealand Ministry of Corrections dossier entitled "High Risk/High Profile Offenders - Pending New Zealand Parole Board Hearings". The 40-page file contains names, possible release addresses and some personal information of some of New Zealand's most notorious and violent criminals.
