The chickens are clearly coming home to roost. David Seymour's campaign to reduce the so called excessive spend on Labour's school lunches have struck a rather awkward problem. At least for one school recently provided lunches were inedible which basically destroys the whole reason for…

The government on Tuesday announced plans to replace regional councillors with boards made up of mayors and maybe some minister-appointed representatives. It’s a mess. I’m going to take it as read that people have at least a passing understanding of what regional councils actually do.…

Labour has recovered from the 26.9% vote share hiding it received in 2023, and is ready to run government again. Polling trends are now consistently in its favour. There's no good reason they can't seek 40% of the whole vote on this trend by polling…

Christopher Luxon's stint as Prime Minister is under serious threat. Clearly he has not been able to control Winston Peters and David Seymour and the internecine war that erupted between the two is causing serious damage to the Government. It does not help that Luxon…
Ex-trader, now people's economist, Gary Stevenson on 30 with Guyon Espiner does thirty minutes of plain language demystification of wealth and economics. One of Stevenson's central premises is if we don't tax wealthy people, they eventually outcompete everyone else. If governments don't tax wealth, they…

Despite what David Seymour says and wants us to believe, he’s no friend of freedom and democracy but rather the opposite. The evidence is subtle, of course, but unmistakable. We already know that David Seymour has a conflicted and contradictory attitude towards freedom and democracy,…

The fracture lines are showing. Winston Peters is misbehaving big time. The goal may be to drive Act down so that NZ First is the go to coalition partner either for National or Labour depending on the poll result. A week ago he said that…

This weeks’ sabotage of a Polish rail line that enables freight to get to Ukraine is a big step in the undeclared war by Russia against European countries that support Ukraine. Russia is the most significant and direct threat to European and United States peace…
