It's been a naff week for Simon Bridges (you know the guy, current National leader, eyes like the last puppy in the pet shop). Last weekend's National party conference tried to put the me into meh and predictably failed to ignite the nation. Bridges looks…

So it appears that one reason the right is so keen on charter schools that do not have properly qualified teachers or the need to comply with a state curriculum is so they can teach all sorts of things. Like creationism. From Farah Hancock at…

At a time when UK Labour should be confidently demolishing the shambles that is the Conservative/DUP Government the party finds itself unable or unwilling to defend itself against charges of anti-Semitism. Clearly Jeremy Corbyn is no bigot. He's spent his whole adult life opposing racism.…

White supremacy, male supremacy and western cultural supremacy are, or so it seems from a quick read, the basic foundations on which Molyneux and Southern have built their cash grabbing and fifteen minutes worth of fame grabbing act. Those things are also the basic foundations…

I was hoping to present a detailed analysis of Simon Bridges conference speech and what he was proposing by way of education policy. I could not however because it was nowhere on the web, at least as far as I could tell. When I went…

Reading the media leading up to this weekend's National Party Conference I could not believe how uniform the analysis was. Basically cheerleading stuff. Everything is fine. National's polling was great and it is early days for Simon Bridges. It brought back for me strong memories…

Way I see it, nursing is one of those occupations where, if nurses pay was doubled, it wouldn’t be too much to be giving them. There are a few other occupations like that. But it seems from feedback and posts across facebook pages, that nurses…

It looks like NZ will be blessed with the presence of Canadian bigots Molyneux and Southern after all. The hate speach tour organiser, Axiomatic, claim a secret venue has been found and the emissaries from the Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment will be crossing…

Not everything can be attributed to climate change. But we’re in for a bit of a hit. Here the rain is certainly falling on the plain, but up in the northern hemisphere it’s a wee tad crazy. Commodity producers are having a summer to remember…
