Our heat battery in the oceans
Almost all of the extra heat that humans have captured by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere over the last few centuries has wound up warming the deep oceans. But in the fine balance that runs between the ocean depths and the atmosphere, the effects…

National thinks tax cut good, reduction in Government charges bad
National's phrasing around tax cuts always sends me spare. For instance working for families, which was essentially a significant tax cut to poor and middle class families so that in net terms they paid a lot less money to the Government has been described variously…

Budget day
Today is budget day. Grant Robertson has been busy promising that there will be no major surprises. Clearly he will not want to spook the Reserve Bank into raising interest rates further. An increase before the election will not be politically helpful. In a pre…

National's Policy Machine is a thing to behold
Yesterday National set the local political scene alight by coming up with the latest policy proposal that will set the local political scene on fire and the effects of which will no doubt be visible in the next polls. The policy is ... Wait this…

Luxon’s days are numbered
The latest TV3 Newshub poll results are out. The major parties are neck and neck. No surprise there. But what is stark is the public response to Christopher Luxon. Basically he is tanking. And National must be really afraid that he is going to prevent…

Countering Conspiracy – the Green Party is not in a Civil War
Trust in academics is on a downslide, as is trust in general. This is exacerbated by academics hiding a personal-political agenda when they dabble in the public domain. Dr Bryce Edwards recently wrote a piece (https://democracyproject.nz/2023/05/10/bryce-edwards-the-civil-war-in-the-greens/) that paints a negative and distorted picture of the…

NZ history of voting systems in elections
This week National Party leader Christopher Luxon reiterated his stance that National will not work with Te Pati Māori, citing for his reaon that he believes that Te Pati Māori policies are divisive and trotting out the phrase “one person, one vote”. Putting aside the…

What Do The Maori Party Want Anyway?
Since they're touted as 2023’s electoral ‘Kingmakers’, it’s time to understand what the Maori Party really want. All about the policy today folks. We’re going to deal with the recent policies since some have been COVID-specific, such as requiring 25% of all recovery projects including…

Iwi Kiwi 2.0
I have very strong memories of the 2005 election. National's momentum was built behind a frankly racist speech given by Don Brash in Orewa in 2004. National's polling before that was on life support. But it then surged in the polls with the next Colmar…
