Potholes damned potholes and National Party statistics
National underlined its complete lack of intellectual grunt and its fascination with passing anxieties as well as its intent to forget what it did by recently releasing a pothole policy. I admire their ability to ignore causes, forget history and absolve themselves of blame while…

Is Manasseh Sogovare Ungrateful, Greedy, or Just Playing Us All?
So recently the Solomon Islands signed an agreement with China on “law enforcement and security matters”. It’s also right on the 20th anniversary of Australia and New Zealand bailing the Solomons out of a massive civil war. From 1998 to 2003 the Solomon Islands were…

How Hipkins Can Still Win
Hipkins being himself is his election-winning attribute. It’s never going to be about policy, nerdlove the old manifestos as one might. 2023 is a presidential contest of personality and believable leadership traits. We haven’t seen Chris Hipkins and Chris Luxon side by side and it's…
