RNZ, Three Waters and partisan commentary
I am a regular listener of Radio New Zealand's Political Commentators' show although recently I have wondered why. The commentors from the right are a mixed bag. Ben Thomas schmoozes but Bridgit Morton grates. She has an ability to use extreme language in the mold…

Own our future
This year's Local Government election is reaching a critical stage. And it is vital to get the right people elected. Conservative cost cutting mayors will cause mayhem. At a time when we need to prepare Aotearoa for climate change and accelerate investment in walkways and…

The difference between Simon Wilson and Mike Hosking
Wayne Brown's mayoral campaign hit a really big pothole on the weekend. He was caught bad mouthing Herald reporter Simon Wilson. He committed the most basic mistake of talking on an open mike and while being recorded. This raises questions about how he could possibly…
