The unbelievable lightness of Simon Bridges
It could be a long 12 months if Simon Bridges' latest behaviour is any indication. He has criticised Jacinda for visiting part of New Zealand or at least part of the world that is under New Zealand's protection. From TVNZ: Opposition leader Simon Bridges has…

Simon – only good at the bottom of a cliff
Just finished reading the transcript of a Q&A interview between Jack Tame and Simon Bridges posted on Scoop. Amongst all of the other circumlocutions and the wheedling of a conniving prosecutor was the hypocrisy over cancer drugs. He wants to make a relatively token amount…

Ihumātao
Ihumātao has been in the news lately. Thanks Weka for your post. It is a really important issue and letting people understand the background is vital. The issue strikes various nerves with me. I grew up in Mangere and Ihumātao is an area that I…

National’s cynical cancer policy announcement
So National's big policy announcement was more money for cancer treatment. Except there is none. The proposal is to be funded out of existing health budgets. The sector is already stretched with the opposition complaining about fiscal pressure on the sector. From Stuff: After months…

Embark 2019
Largely unremarked last week was a conference in Auckland called Embark 2019. It was led by the Climate Leaders Coalition signatories, and aims to boost the government's own carbon neutralizing programme. You can see a lot more of the membership and the aims of this network at…

Jacindamania
Despite the babies and the engagements, maybe it's time to ditch the default Jacindamania. Let's not bother with the criminal waste of tax on hundreds of working groups, existing to successfully suppressing oppositional opinion through co-option. Oranga Tamariki has got three investigations underway for removing…

How To Get There 28/7/19
This post is a place for positive discussion of the future. An Open Mike for ideas, solutions and the discussion of the possible. The Big Picture, rather than a snapshot of the day’s goings on. Topics rather than topical. We’d like to think it’s…

Fool me twice?
Boris Johnson's ruthless purge of Cabinet and hard right shift looks like preparation for an early election. Reminds me of 1984 at home, as a right wing coup is on the way. He lied his way to Brexit - will it work again? He's appointed…

The weasel accurately dissects National.
Matthew Hooton has a piece on National's chances in the next election in the Business Herald this morning entitled as "National stumbling to defeat". I'm not going to link or quote from it as it is behind the paywall. On the eve of the National…

The polling has spoken. After testing the waters by announcing a possible tilt for the Super City mayoralty and then no doubt polling furiously John Banks has decided not to run. From the Herald: John Banks has confirmed he will not be having another…

Dunne reckons next election will be close
Peter Dunne was one of the more forgettable MPs that we have had. Through the vagarities of a televised worm and National's implosion in 2002 he led a small party for a while. The party fell apart and dwindled into a rump of one. Dunne…

The Greens’ attack ad
There has been some recent discussion about the Greens satirical ad about Simon Bridges from various sources including from Green members. Radio New Zealand has the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPmiAictFkI I can understand the motivation of the ad creators. Bridges is becoming something of a caricature. Maybe…

Australian right wing commentators suffer from deranged Jacinda syndrome
Jacinda is loved in Australia in a way that must really frustrate Scott Morrison. Two weeks before the last Aussie election she was Australia's most trusted politician. Newshub had the details: Two weeks out from the general election, Australia says its most trusted politician is…

Boris for UK PMⁿ
67% of the 160,000 UK Conservative Party members have voted for Boris Johnson as their leader. An attempt to block him as PM has been circumvented by the Speaker. The Queen had to delay her trip to Balmoral to receive him as Prime Minister. I'd…
