Colonisation and widespread theft of Maori land is apparently good for them
Paora Goldsmith, who last hit National headlines for botching up National's alternative budget, has again hit the headlines and for the wrong reasons. On Saturday he said publicly that Colonialism was on balance good for Maori. Wholesale loss of their land and other Taonga, wars,…

NZ Nuclear-Free Day
June 8 is the anniversary of Aotearoa's 1987 nuclear-free legislation. NZOnScreen is running a retrospective of our proud history, the Nuclear-free Collection. It is well worth a watch. I particularly liked the movie "Nuclear Reaction," with Big Norm seeing off the French, Big Dave seeing…

The week when Scomo came to visit
Scotty Morrison came to visit this week. China was at the centre of discussions. I am sure it was coincidental but last Sunday the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Australia's Channel Nine Network aired this particularly stupid take on the New Zealand - Australia - China relationships. If…

Nick Smith rejoices as Jake Bezzant takes public spotlight off him
Eerily enough Nick Smith has dropped out of public attention, at least for now. Jake Bezzant has instead taken Smith's place. I have watched Bezzant for a while. He was meant to be one of National's bright new things, having been selected in then safe…
