Co-Governance is Orthodox Policy for both National and Labour
How quickly we forget. Most accept that local government and their water entities have been quite incompetent in planning or delivering safe water for citizens. Auckland. Hawkes Bay. Wellington. Dunedin. Christchurch. All the smaller council entities that have a C water rating and below. A…

Newscorp and Victorian Liberals were just so out of touch. Just like National and Act here
The Liberal/Nat victory that Newscorp had been promoting in the Victorian state elections simply didn't materialise. For some reason pandering to the loud and noisy just isn't what it used to be. Probably it is mostly the purview of the decreasing numbers of people who…

What Is Labour’s Purpose This Term?
It is time to set out succinctly and without recourse to abstract nouns exactly what this Labour government has intended, is doing, and how it seeks to alter the country. I will keep it as tight as I can. Rebuild a recentralised state. It is…

Overblown rhetoric and Laura Norder
Law and order has been a go to for right wing politicians for ever. And there has been fertile ground for them to jump up and down and claim that the world is ending because of a couple of terrible incidents in Tamaki Makaurau during…

Prime Minister Ardern and Premier Xi
New Zealand has the most adroit and high profile international leader in a generation with Prime Minister Ardern, but she has weakened New Zealand against China. It was terrific that the leader of China Xi Jinping recently allotted 45 minutes to Prime Minister Ardern recently,…

Can New Zealand’s Tech Sector Ride Adjustment Out?
Remember when New Zealand farming was a sunset industry and tech would rise in its place? Just about every major US tech company from Amazon, Meta, Snap, Stripe, Coinbase, Twitter, Robinhood and Intel, are having massive layoffs and sharemarket falls of more than 50% in…

Surviving the apocalypse of the Great Twit
The new Great Twit at Twitter has been cauterising off staff in excess. So I suspect that the platform is going to go down the toilet for that (amongst other reasons). But my main concern here has been to preserve the embedded tweets in posts…

The politics of the voting age change
The Supreme Court has just lobbed a grenade into New Zealand politics by ruling that denying 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote was not only discrimination on the basis of age but also had not been justified and was therefore a breach…

Diplomatic Values
Trudeau got a 10-minute stand-up with Xi followed by a public shirt-fronting, Albanese got a 32-minute sit-down, and Jacinda Ardern a 50-minute formal bilateral. In the carefully calibrated world of the diplomatic dance-card, that says something. New Zealand would be foolish not to take advantage…
