Luxon under pressure after latest Newshub Poll
I am going to channel my Matthew Hooton left wing alter ego in the writing of this post. The latest Newshub Poll result will cause further pressure on embattled National Party leader Chris Luxon. Although National support increased 4.4% to 31.3%, support for its only…

Big developments in Beijing
The meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping is likely to set the geopolitical direction for the 21st century. If 'divide and rule' was the mantra for the US's hegemonic rule in the 20th century, 'unite and share' looks like setting the tone for the 21st.…

NZME is on a mission to change the Government
It is beginning to feel like the media, or at least New Zealand Media and Entertainment, has it in for the Government. They have never been supportive. Just listen to or read Mike Hosking on a good day. But the wall to wall noise recently…

What Do We Keep?
The things we don't regret keeping are a strong measure of what we don't value. COVID's 2 year anniversary asks us this simply through what we commemorate: many value festivals enough to take the risk of mass infection. Will we? did we miss the larger…

Some notes on moderation
Quick post. As a moderator I'm increasingly finding myself having to spend time on things I shouldn't have to eg long term commenters flouting the rules repeatedly. The biggest thing that people getting moderated fail to understand is how much moderators value our own time…

David Seymour should stick to twerking
We live in strange times. At the Herald Matthew Hooton, National's chief propagandist, shows his ability to bend reality by claiming that Jacinda Ardern is polarising and the country is divided. He even has the temerity to talk about how "Ardern's all-important net approval rating…

How the Covid era changes us
So with Prime Minister announcing effectively the beginning of the end of state control of COVID, I set myself a challenge of asking the question: How will the end of COVID change us all? IT STAYS PERSONAL In our worklife, in resthomes, in sports games,…

And what have they done anyway?
With Ardern getting a good-old media beat-down, remember here's how to change a country for good like no one else but Labour can. In justice, their strategy for reduction has worked: offending rates among young people have dropped by 63%. Over 10,000 fewer children and…

Women’s human rights and the vulnerability of pregnant women
There's a lot being said by and about Charlotte Bellis, the pregnant woman stuck in Afghanistan and trying to get back to New Zealand. What I want to talk about here is not Bellis so much as the vulnerability of pregnant women and women's human…

Light Rail: The State Is Back
The light rail route and mode decision this week shows something new. It's in the nature of the state itself. New Zealand’s heroic health professionals have been consistently delivering world-beating pandemic responses despite three decades of foolish restructuring, low workforce training, and corrosive funding.
