Is National’s Luxon among the quick or the dead?
My observation, as a former journalist, is that one of the most important traits for a successful political leader career is quick-wittedness. It can’t be taught or learned – you either have it, or you don’t as David Lange or John Key had. It’s the…

Fonterra’s Capital Restructure
Fonterra is in the middle of a big restructure of its capital. It is still the case given its dominance over us that where Milk Supertanker Fonterra goes, we go. The Fonterra Annual General Meeting on Thursday has a fair bit riding on it, and…

National’s caucus reshuffle
The deckchairs have been reshuffled. And Chris Luxon is confident that reorganising the pecking order of a deeply dysfunctional caucus will make all the difference. The winners are: The liberal faction. All three of them have received significant boosts, with Nicola Willis being confirmed at…

Who will be the next Auckland Mayor?
If he decides to run again I suspect that Phil Goff will easily be re-elected as Auckland Super City mayor. The job is immensely complex and hampered by the Super City model but Goff has performed well despite having to battle Covid and its consequences.…

Two days into Chris Luxon's reign as National leader and my initial impression is an overwhelming Meh. This the make or break time. The chance when the media spotlight is firmly on you for you to make an impression. So what impression has he made?…
