A bit of a hit
Not everything can be attributed to climate change. But we’re in for a bit of a hit. Here the rain is certainly falling on the plain, but up in the northern hemisphere it’s a wee tad crazy. Commodity producers are having a summer to remember…

Redeveloping Public Housing
I have this sneaky sense that we are up for some quite muscular land development by the New Zealand state. HLC (previously Hobsonville Land Company) have put out a tender that redevelops simply massive areas of Auckland. And this is not your greenfields unimpeded realm…

Sanctions for beneficiary bashers
I am almost starting to feel sorry for Simon Bridges. Almost ... He is struggling for relevance. He has had a month of clear air where he has not had to deal with the might of Jacinda and has blown it. I commented on this here.…

Трамп; проследить за деньгами!
Трамп: проследить за деньгами! Trump: Follow the Money! I've been pondering what hold Vladimir Putin has over Donald Trump. It's not the pee tape; that would be a one day wonder if it was released. After all, he's already done far worse and still…

A right, Left problem
Throw out the name of a political party, and almost subconsciously, anyone with an interest in politics will immediately brand the party as either “left wing” or “right wing”. That would be fine if any given point on capitalism’s political spectrum was a point on…

Brexiting the EU
It has been a hell of a month for the UK. The conservative party is imploding. Theresa May is stuck squarely in the middle between Conservative MPs who think that BREXIT will be a disaster for the economy and Conservative MPs who do not care.…

The UN is shocked by NZ’s child poverty rates
Michael Joseph Savage would be turning in his grave. And this shows what an important job this Government has and what a crap job the last Government performed. The United Nations recently expressed incredulity at our statistics concerning child poverty, housing, incarceration and violence. The…

Government with a plan
The polls are great. Top work. But I'm getting worried about the entropy of this government already. Matthew Hooten and Karl Marx agree with me. Governments usually start with a whiz and a bang and gradually subside from there. We forgot to start. Even Prime…
