Bridges and his cheerleaders
Reading the media leading up to this weekend's National Party Conference I could not believe how uniform the analysis was. Basically cheerleading stuff. Everything is fine. National's polling was great and it is early days for Simon Bridges. It brought back for me strong memories…

And We’ll be Reich Back …

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…
