Is the Opportunity Party left wing?
No. They're not right wing either. People are trying to fit them into L/R boxes, but they don't fit. They're progressive centrists of the like we haven't seen before, orthogonal1 to the traditional Left/Right spectrum. This is not the centrism of Peters or Dunne. Some…

Comrade Christopher and the breakup of Foodstuffs
In what appears to be a really rushed move National came out yesterday and proposed the compulsory carve up of Foodstuffs. From Radio New Zealand: National has made a supermarket break-up a key part of its election pitch, proposing to sever Pak'nSave from New World…

To frigate or not to frigate
The NZ Initiative, who gave us neoliberalism, says we need to buy four to keep one at sea. Just Defence says there are a lot better uses for the money. I'm with them. The Initiative's report is compiled by a retired Army Major-General, and is…

Kiwisaver and the 2026 Election
Kiwisaver is the most personally consequential long term policy this election. We need to do a side-by-side of the Labour and National policies. This is what’s happening right now: 1. You contribute a minimum of 3.5% of your before-tax pay. You can put up to 6%…

War Without Shooting When They Used To Be Allies
We are witnessing a full-scale trade war between Canada and the United States and there’s every sign it will get much, much worse. Earlier this week Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered his address to the nation from inside a prefabricated housing factory, using the industrial…

City Rail Link Is Really About Workers
Plenty of politicians will seek credit when it opens, but none of them will have lifted a spade. The reason New Zealand’s largest infrastructure project exists is because over 1700 workers actually built it. After many years of planning, designing and funding arrangements were locked…

The fatal friend
Henry Kissinger is reported to have said "it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Australia should take note, enmeshed as it is with US bases. The fallout may affect us too. A recent report in The Guardian…

Why does National despise the poor?
Two recent events reinforce an overwhelming impression that National despises poor people. The first is news that the MSD thinks that food is a nice to have and not an essential need. Yep read that again. This is how much we have descended into this…

Taxpayers Union hides its funding
Looks like the Taxpayers Union has now gone offline so that we have no idea where its funding came from. Because it claimed, without justification, that it was a democratic organisation with a commitment to the public good, and so it registered as an incorporated…
