It's one of the reasons I've come around to OP. Wong seems to be the only person in politics talking publicly about the need to transcend the L/R divide. I disagree with her that L/R is redundant now, but instead that there is a third politics (that OP and ...Written By: weka - Date published: 10:22 pm, September 1st, 2026

hell of a lot of people not at school though. Yes def should be taught at school, but if we want things to change now, we need the adults now to have the informational and conceptual tools. Agree that with economics in particular it would be challenging.Written By: weka - Date published: 10:06 pm, September 1st, 2026
I don't need a 6 min intro to civics. I'm talking about a tutorial based course that takes people through economics in the NZ sociopolitical context (and preferably modern enough to not just rely on conventional economics). So people can understand our ...Written By: weka - Date published: 8:29 pm, September 1st, 2026
half way through, and not sure I will get to finish it, but that's a good interview, both sides. I like the lack of aggro from the MSM, and getting to hear Wong's ideas expressed easily rather than under duress. I'm not voting OP, but she would be an asset ...Written By: weka - Date published: 8:14 pm, September 1st, 2026
Wong interviews very well.Written By: weka - Date published: 5:26 pm, September 1st, 2026
thought this was interesting. The challenge for both Labour and the Greens, I'm not a fan of the aspiration concept, but the left needs to figure out how to talk about the seriousness of the situation and the problems, but present a vision of a good future ...Written By: weka - Date published: 5:19 pm, September 1st, 2026
what avenues are tehre for learning about NZ economics as above?Written By: weka - Date published: 5:19 pm, September 1st, 2026
ok, so nothing specific about NZ economics in context of civics tutorials.Written By: weka - Date published: 5:19 pm, September 1st, 2026
those are all for people that already understand the basics of economics. They're not tutorials. I think I explained what I was talking about already.Written By: weka - Date published: 1:25 pm, September 1st, 2026

true and I don't see Millennials are more selfish, but they have been sold this idea that they are good and boomers are bad, and that's dangerous. I'm glad they're taking it seriously now, but I also know that if conditions improved most will go back to ...Written By: weka - Date published: 10:32 am, September 1st, 2026
what would be cool though would be citizens education made freely available online to those that are interested. Not studying for a degree, but classes designed to upskill around MMP, how parliament works, law making and policy, economics and finances, ...Written By: weka - Date published: 4:11 pm, August 31st, 2026
I like Verity Johnson's work generally. Reading that article, mostly I'm thinking ok, so 66% or people rate CoL as the number one priority, but how many people have been living like that for years and where were the millennials then? We've had an ...Written By: weka - Date published: 9:14 am, August 30th, 2026

That's because universality tends to create a broad consensus around a policy, making it harder to reverse. This is the most compelling case I've seen. I can also see that this policy could be used to build more and better universality. Just unclear if ...Written By: weka - Date published: 7:44 pm, August 29th, 2026
this is helpful thanks. Particularly like the concept of better off than they need to be. The mix of universal services punitive welfare is just awful. It's like saying we will give you this thing to make your life better, but we will require you to give ...Written By: weka - Date published: 6:37 pm, August 29th, 2026
I have no idea who she is, nor whether it's happenstance. Was hoping you would say.Written By: weka - Date published: 4:19 pm, August 29th, 2026
or you could just spell it out Candace is the former CEO of Biomatters and NZTech, where she founded Techweek and TechWomen, and has also held senior leadership roles with Jarden, and Palantir. She is also a founder of fintech startup Vester, and brings a ...Written By: weka - Date published: 9:16 am, August 29th, 2026
Following on from Labour's CGT/free medical visits convo yesterday. Many people on sickness benefit or supported living payment need more than three visits per year. A person on a salary who doesn't need the cash gets the three free visits and a person in ...Written By: weka - Date published: 5:18 pm, August 28th, 2026
what was the GV when you bought it? You seem to be conflating GV with sale price.Written By: weka - Date published: 11:33 am, August 28th, 2026
as I said, if this is a step towards universality, that's a good thing. But I'm not sure if it is. Obviously if it's going to everyone it's going to the people that need it. Equally obviously, there are a lot of people in greater need who won't get much ...Written By: weka - Date published: 10:51 am, August 28th, 2026
it's not going to those that need it though, it's going to everyone. How will the CSC become more powerful? Did you mean the medicard?Written By: weka - Date published: 10:29 am, August 28th, 2026
as far as I can tell the CGT would pay for three GP/nurse visits per year. Some background changes as well. Not sure how $14m per year after set up can be justified for the medicard for that, but I guess it's opening the door for medical digital ID. I ...Written By: weka - Date published: 6:58 pm, August 26th, 2026

Part of my healthcare now is avoiding accidents so that I don't have to go through those kinds of experiences. I remember are few days before lock down I was climbing through and over some fallen trees and suddenly realised what I was doing and what it ...Written By: weka - Date published: 1:25 pm, August 25th, 2026
I don't think it was overly aggressive. Alwyn is a troll and he knew what he was doing. It was a shitty move even without knowing about your personal situation.Written By: weka - Date published: 12:59 pm, August 25th, 2026
My elderly Mum has different people each time, and this includes showering. It's horrible. I dread the thought of being elderly in NZ unless we make major changes.
