Winston adds to National’s tax cut credibility problem
There is this sense that what looked inevitable a couple of weeks ago, a National Act Government following the election, is now not such a clear cut thing. Leading up to the election National and its puppet proxies had accumulated a huge war chest funded…

A Green surge and fighting for the election
I wrote a month ago about the Greens polling at 12%, which would give them 15 Green MPs, up from their current 10. It looked to me that the political courage of the Greens is working. Unlike the chaos of the 2017 election that followed…

Even Mike Hosking thinks that a National-Act-NZ First coalition would be an absolute disaster
Yesterday morning in a 7 am social media dump Christopher Luxon finally announced what we have all known for ages and that was he would pick up the phone and ring Winston if National needed NZ First support. Here is the clip. https://twitter.com/chrisluxonmp/status/1706004185660145737 The method…

National’s back of the envelope $715 million tax calculation
New Zealand politics has been waiting with baited breath for National to release its methodology about how its tax on foreign purchasers (excluding Australians and Singaporeans and possibly Chinese) of luxury homes homes worth more than $2 million could earn $715 million in the first…

National really, really needs New Zealand to be in a recession
It was a very interesting week this week. Statistics NZ shot a whole lot of National's advertising down by revising GDP growth figures so that the previous quarter was stable, thereby meaning New Zealand did not actually go into recession. There was actually no recession…

TVNZ concludes that Luxon’s pants may have been on fire
The recent leader's debate was really frustrating. Not only did Christopher Luxon get way more time than Chris Hipkins but it felt to me that his presentation on various issues were up to the edge of what is true. TVNZ has engaged a group of…

There is no recession in New Zealand
The growth figures are up and National operatives will be in despair. Not only did the economy grow considerably faster than anticipated in the last quarter at 0.9% but the previous quarter's figure has been resolved from -0.1% to 0%, a small but significant change.…

NZ Election: National’s tax policy
A year ago this month, the Liz Truss/Kwasi Kwarteng mini-budget destroyed once and for all the myth that the Tories are better at managing the economy. The New Zealand National Party could not even wait until they were in government to prove the same applies…

Understanding the New Zealand General Election 2023: Historical trends and perspectives.
Originally posted on Nick Kelly's blog From the outside, the New Zealand 2023 General Election seems both lacklustre and slightly strange. The Labour Government, having won a huge majority in 2020 is now fighting for its political life. Yet National, the main centre-right opposition party…
