Which side is TOP on?

Local Bodies: The myth of New Zealand’s economic backbone
Dave Kennedy at Local Bodies recently published this post. It seems like an apposite commentary after looking at the feel-good Mystery Creek field day coverage. Reposted with permission. Anna Chrichton's brilliant cartoon sums it up. The farming sector is enjoying a boom time at the…

National intends to proceed with the LNG terminal and welch on the country’s Kyoto Protocol obligations
National claims that it is the better economic manager and attacks Labour every opportunity it can. How many times have you heard Luxon or Willis accuse the last Government of "wasteful spending"? This reputation is not deserved however. And three events from this week clearly…

Labour’s list
I attended the Auckland Labour List conference three weeks ago. This presented a chance for prospective candidates to speak and show local members their abilities and their beliefs. The event was uplifting and filled me with hope. There was a lot of new talent in…
