Most kiwis blame Willis for Ferry Fiasco
The Transport Unions recently engaged Talbot Mills to poll kiwis on their view of the Ferry Fiasco. The latest results are now in and they are pretty ugly for the Government. They were asked about the decision by Willis to cancel "the new Ferries contract…

Later Stuart
Remember Stuart Nash? He was a former Labour MP whose career was complicated. He became an MP in 2008. He missed out in 2011 and instead became Chief of Staff for David Shearer, at least for a while. He then won Napier in 2014. The…

If that’s Luxon’s Plan, What About Labour?
It’s time to highlight what a Labour plan for the New Zealand economy under a 2026 government would look like. And ask questions. On September 11 2023 then-Prime Minister Hipkins released his plan for the New Zealand economy. “Labour’s economic priorities for the next term…

New Zealand’s worst leadership speech since 2008
The PM’s ‘State of the Nation’ speech about the New Zealand economy titled “economic growth the key to better days ahead” was a bag of words with no plan. Turbocharging New Zealand’s economic growth is the key to brighter days ahead for all Kiwis, Prime…

Selling NZ off to the highest foreign bidder. Is it still NZ First?
Note: Since writing this post last night, Luxon has used his "State of the Union" speech to declare his way forward is foreign investment and mining. I wish he weren't so predictable. Yesterday, Trump pardoned the founder of Silk Road - a criminal website designed…

The difference between Christopher Luxon and Donald Trump *
Trump's shock and awe approach made me reflect on what Christopher Luxon did when he gained power. And there are a number of similarities. Since gaining office Trump has: Reversed as many Biden measures as he could. Changed energy policies - drill baby drill. Established…

America would never happen here!
For too long, I’ve been very careful not to use the word “fascism” loosely — but do you remember an American government and country like today? But it’s not just over there. The playbook we see here in Aotearoa New Zealand is, in my view,…

Luxon’s panicked reshuffle
It looks like the internal pressures in National's caucus caused by poor polling are beginning to take effect. Yesterday Christopher Luxon announced a rather significant cabinet reshuffle. The announcement was rather strange and did not go into the detail of some pretty major changes. Melissa…
