This is the only possible explanation. As well as celebrating all things car National has a pathological hatred of cycleways and walkways and public transport. The latest evidence comes from Simeon Brown's instruction to Waka Kotahi to stop work on anything designed to cut transport…

This coming week, under urgency and leading into Xmas, the Coalition government will expand 90-day trials to all workers, in yet another payback to National/ACT/NZ First’s (NAF) business backers. Being able to sack people without rights will encourage employers to “take more risk on someone…

Some would like to the Treaty buried in a museum archive or even better, burnt forever on a bonfire (and together with Regulations). Some may not object to having their version in full view and the other in a dark dusty display in a far…

A notably different approach to sequencing political comeback was on show at the VUW post-election seminar last week. Luxon put rebuilding the party first, Hipkins put it last. On policy Luxon was bottom-up and early, Hipkins was top-down and late. Luxon was able to remind…

Yesterday at Te Papa 12 people were arrested after a protest against its Treaty of Waitangi exhibition. The planning was obviously sophisticated. One of the protesters abseiled down to a large English version of the Treaty and applied paint and also used a hand grinder…
