Still pussy-footing on Gaza
Unlike the other four Eyes, New Zealand voted for a UNGA resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in Gaza. The US had previously vetoed a ceasefire resolution. Finally on RNZ, Ben Strang asked whether Israel's response to HAMAS is also a "war crime?' Professor Robert…

The Political Cowardice of David Seymour and Chris Luxon
Winston Peters has done us all a favour, or rather he has confirmed what I suspected all along, which is that the other side of lazy political opportunism is political cowardice. The Machiavellian has risen from the lagoon with his seemingly absurd tweet, which has…

National’s gang policy has no foundation
An early starter for the most ridiculous policy of the New Government has emerged. Mark Mitchell has proposed that gang members be required to apply foundation to their faces to hide gang insignia tatoos before going out in public. From Radio New Zealand: National's police…

Let’s do the time warp again
I am not sure that an elderly person who clearly is forgetting things should be allowed access to his Twitter account, let alone the levers of power. But that is the situation we are currently in. Yesterday Winston Peters tweeted this: https://twitter.com/winstonpeters/status/1717057201259577695 But dear reader…

Passing the buck on Gaza
The new government is leaving it to the old government to carry the ball on Gaza. Both governments have dropped it. The 5Eyes formula of "Israel's right to defend itself" does not extend any right to the indiscriminate bombing, and refusal to allow any water,…

Don’t get angry, get organised
Happy Labour day everyone. This is a good day for progressives to reflect on the recent election result and to plan on countering the rather draconian plans this Government has talked about and to start planning for the next progressive Government. My father, who was…
