Why is National so desperate for Labour to release policy?
Note: Within a day of publishing this article, Nicola Willis was on 1News pushing for Labour policies when asked about higher inflation, and Christopher Luxon also asked where Labour policies are, when he was criticised for his Family Boost failures. I’ve noticed for a while…

Do you want to protect NZ’s sensitive land and assets?
Last year I wrote about how the Coalition is flinging the doors open for rich foreigners. David Seymour's is putting through changes to our Overseas Investment Act to make it easier for foreigners and the uber wealthy to buy NZ's sensitive land and assets. It…

What is the point of taxation?
Green Party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick was on Q&A in May, just a few days before the NACTFirst government's first budget, fronting up to Jack Tame's questions about the Greens' alternative budget.

Yesterday, after a week’s holiday in Hawaii and another week swanning around, Luxon finally made it to the Top of the South Island, where floods1 have wreaked havoc - farming families literally swept away, homes lost, telecommunications cut off, businesses and livelihood destroyed. Mill Creek…

The left should unite on tax, fast
Cowritten with Bearded Git With less than 18 months to go to the election, Labour doesn’t yet have a tax policy. The Greens do. Tax policy done badly will almost certainly stop Labour and the Greens changing this government. But they have to deal with…

Do humans have to respect the limits to growth?
We don't, but we should, because if we don't we will destroy the things that our existence depends upon. The limits to growth here refers to biophysics not human society or endeavours, although the point is the latter are constrained by the former. There are…

“I did my own research”!
"I did my own research"? No. You didn't. You can't! You can do your own observations. But you need to be aware of the many reasons including confirmation bias, small sample errors, and "Dunning Kruger" why you may be wrong. 1. Did you carry out…

The ultimate Fuck you, to your neighbours, the community and the environment. Private helicopters!
Again, we were woken up by a bunch of hoodrats drifting on the intersection by our house. Great clouds of smoke and lots of noise. As you do at three o clock in the morning, my brain started tying this together with recent articles about…

GCSB & NZSIS warn ACT Bill risks NZ’s National Security
Reposted from Mountain Tui Substack As outlined earlier in the week, RNZ has a charter to “serve the public interest” - not pretend it is centrist, shy, or bipartisan. Last week, during the Regulatory Standards Bill select committee, the dominance of corporate media and RNZ…
