I haven’t been out of my bubble much but I suspect there’s an uptick in the number of skinheads and longhaired hippies. This will throw people who judge a book by its cover. My Covid coupe is starting to resemble that of an extra in…

In the Herald yesterday morning Fran O'Sullivan asked why was there no bipartisan approach to Covid. She had a point. Labour and National have managed to agree to RMA reforms that will increase intensification and housing supply. So why not Covid? After all this is…

Coming Tuesday, the day after Labour Day, it will be chaos and madness at many schools throughout the country when they will open to Years 11-13 students and for students whose parents work in Education and who are the sole caregivers of their own children.…

Whatever the timing of the plans announced on Friday, as of January 2022 New Zealand will be ruled by a very different kind of government. While we may have been lifted out of martial lockdowns and some BORA rights reinstated in limited form, we have…

Yesterday National released what feels like take 16 of its Covid response plan, this one focussing on business interests and setting a hard timeline for reopening. The fiscal details were attacked mercilessly by Grant Robertson in the house. https://vimeo.com/636785224 Four bucks a week to workers…
