It’ll be plain sailing all the way.

The old boat is back! The ever-defiant (or ever-deviant?) Winston Peters feels vindicated about his fumbling ferry fiasco and you can feel the palpable sigh of relief from Nicky-no-Boats. https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/ferry-perfect-storm-fails-arrive …

For your convenience, here’s the link to Labour’s foreign policy: https://www.labour.org.nz/news/speech-labours-foreign-policy/. Don’t choke on the ‘woke’ words (e.g., moral, value, identity, principled, etc.). Or walk away …

Interesting that you’ve now moved from this is a “truth book” to agreeing with me that this is political opinion. Nope. Logical fail. Please note that I haven’t dismissed anything. Yes, you have – you dismissed Dirty Work as “a piece of political opinion …

Unemployment (21%) has overtaken housing to become New Zealand’s fourth most important issue and has reached its highest level since November 2020. https://www.ipsos.com/en-nz/34th-ipsos-nz-issues-monitor-sept-2026 Labour appears to be in touch with the …

Self-conceited comment suggesting that the ‘experts’ (??) and you align on your denigration of Hager’s Dirty Work before it was even launched. You’re on record here as denigrating Hager in 2014, which attracted quite a few Mod notes from Lprent. Seems to …

I was simply making the point that readership numbers and/or book purchases – don’t necessarily result in people changing their opinions. Sure, the numbers themselves might be good for advertising and others to buy & read said book. Similarly, a book …

By all accounts, those disillusioned and disgruntled TPU members have already left the TPU on their own accord and Nicky Hager used them for his research for his book Dirty Work.

Whataboutery In any case, NZ can walk & chew gum at the same time, twice if needed. Your bumper must be a sticky mess.

… but now that we read his [Chris Penk’s] thoughts on wider matters, he disappoints greatly. Nah, I think he’s true to form. Penk rose fast through the ranks and got promoted to Cabinet, IIRC. It seems to me that he’s on a journey of redemption and …

To do the amount of research that would be needed would take more time and energy I have. Less is more, especially when short of time and/or energy. Do you think others have more time/energy to dig into that large AI dump? I don’t quite understand why you …

I’ve already given you one reason. Secondly, read the actual policy. Lastly, I take with a huge grain of salt anything or anybody you label as Left or Left-wing without any evidence to support your lazy labels. FWIW, NZF’s policy is stupid shite, IMHO.

Sounding rather left-wing for NZF. Taking away the fact it’s an NZF policy, do you not like this left-wing approach? I reject your premise that it’s a left-wing policy and Winston Peters too would be fuming at your allegation. In any case, NZF has gone …

Whats wrong with instituting a wealth tax. It’s quite popular, apparently. Also on the survey list was a wealth tax – an approach the Greens support – defined as “a 2.5% tax on an individual’s net assets above $10 million with an exemption for family …
