National’s strategy on the Housing Corp P fiasco
A few years ago I was in awe of National's media management. They seemed to be bullet proof. When confronted with issues they would role out these simplistic responses that you knew had been focus grouped to within an inch of their lives. John Key…

Simon cannot work out why Judith suggested he visits this place to campaign. Or why he has not yet met any ordinary New Zealanders.

Strange Democracy.
Remember the "Moment of Truth" in Auckland Town Hall just before the 2014 election when Glen Greenwald, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden revealed the extent of the NZ government's spying on us? I seem to recall that went down as foreigners interfering in democratic processes in…

Gluckman: Methamphetamine policy was a crock
One of the many sensible early steps taken by Phil Twyford was to reverse Housing Corporation's insane policy on methamphetamine. Under the last Government it had a policy that any trace found in a Housing Corporation unit would start the process of getting the person…

Draining the swamp
Looks like we have a New Zealand branch of One Nation being set up complete with the same sort of innate racism and reckless disregard of reality that its Australian cousin also has. One of the leading lights is Kym Koloni who was last year…

It’s Time for a Cost-Benefit Analysis of Dairy Farming
Not just, 'we've got to make the good outweigh the bad'. I mean: why should dairy farming exist here? We know the standard facts and figures about how many people dairy farmers employ. You can look that up on DairyNZ's website, and they'll tell you all about…

Bridges copies Bill Clinton on abortion
Simon Bridges has been formulating a position on abortion. And has arrived at a position that is more conservative than the position held by Bill Clinton but which borrows his phraseology (h/t Eddie Clark). He thinks that abortion should be rare, safe and legal and…

Pollwatch: Reid Research, 27/05/2018
Those of you watching TV3 or scouring the web for news recently may have caught a pretty interesting poll. In some respects, it doesn't say anything too dramatically different than February's Colmar Brunton poll, except it says it worse for National and New Zealand first,…

It's finally happened. I know I have been harsh on Minister Clare Curran, but she's actually done something positive, in her portfolio, that might achieve something tangible domestically, however small, and I confess to being just a little bit excited. I am harsh because I…

Housing Band Aids
The homeless are not nameless faceless nobodies, they’re babies, children, women and men all clamouring for a place to call home. A place where they can put down roots and establish a sense of belonging within their local communities. They’re not all the stereotype that…
