When the history of the sixth National Government is written I am confident that the events of this week will be described as the the beginning of the end. I did not think that a National Government could be so malicious or so completely indifferent…

David Parker's Deputy Leader 's speech in 2014 at the Wellington Labour Party Conference for me ranks as the best I ever heard from a Labour Leader. Vision matched values in intensity and scope. Parliament now loses one of its very best. I supported him…

Article from Mountain Tui Substack The pay equity deal is a punch in the guts; it’s an alternating between wanting to shout and cry, and then, on the other hand seeing what abitter gift it all is. The government voting as one to destroy the…

Remember how last election National continuously talked about wasteful spending and getting the books back in order? Well yesterday it showed what it thinks wasteful spending is. Paying women in poorly paid but skilled jobs properly. Christopher Luxon tried to, without success, misrepresent the motivation…

I wonder if the recent announcement that National wants to take away voting rights from all prisoners is nothing more than a distraction from its real intent, screwing the electoral scrum by making it harder to vote for some of us. A few weeks before…

The defining characteristic of the 2025 Federal election in Australia to me is that the Dutton model of vague way down in the future policies, and grumpy grievance now policies was soundly rejected. The voting of preferences is ongoing. But Labour has already up a…

This is a Labor landslide. Australia is by a long, long way the most important country to New Zealand. Nearly a million of us live there. So this election really matters to us. Dutton lost his seat. The Independents surged. The Greens got no seats.…

The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand has always worn its values proudly. Few political movements in this country have taken representation as seriously. And for that, it deserves real credit. Look at the current list and you’ll see something few other parties can claim:…
