EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Israel & Maria Folau – Their Side Of The Story

We’ve always wanted to interview Israel and Maria Folau – to hear their side of the story, to find out how they coped through a tumultuous period, and what effect it had on their faith, and on their marriage & family. It’s never been fully told. In July of 2025, Family First CEO Bob McCoskrie sat down with both of them at their home in Brisbane. An exclusive interview with Family First New Zealand to be shared at the annual Forum on the Family. For the very first time, you get to hear their side of the story.

In a disturbing example of political ‘lawfare’, New York attorney general Letitia James weaponised her office to target Jason McGuire who leads the New York Families Foundation – an organisation with similar values & voice to Family First NZ – because he dared to speak up against radical, pro-abortion policies. For more than three years, her office harassed his family, his staff, and his ministry—demanding donor lists, monitoring bank accounts, and even threatening his wife. Last month, he was sentenced to serve eight weekends in Livingston County Jail. We talk to Jason McGuire.
