National’s solution to the housing crisis
Dan Bidois has unwittingly disclosed National's approach to all problems. Basically everything can be traced back to giving police greater powers to deal with gangs and take their guns off them. And it is all the fault of pesky judges, some of them who are…

King Luxon Isn’t Wearing Any Clothes
Cartoon: Emma Cook Last week, King Luxon and his steady Page, Sir Simeon, were out in the Kingdom to visit their lands and instruct the serfs. "Thou shalt do away with thy fantasies, peasants!" The bald headed King screamed, his head turning red and redder.…

Power and Speed
We are in a power crisis and the government has had to respond, but will their response make any difference? We should set out that the power supply+price spike is real. As Minister Shane Jones warned Parliament just over a month ago, soaring power prices…

Simeon Brown peddling porkies about gas shortage
Energy Minister Simeon Brown is peddling lies about Aotearoa having a gas shortage. The country exports around 40 percent of its annual gas production as methanol, while another large chunk is used to make 260,000 tonnes of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, a nasty contributor to our…

Is Casey Costello Corrupt?
Today, the Casey Costello tobacco saga continues. Despite trying to close the chapter on her pro-tobacco record, saying "we've traversed this issue many times already" and refusing to answer questions fulsomely in Parliament, Costello is not having that much luck closing it all down. Today,…

Where Does Labour Rebuild?
It won’t come from the working class. But we know where it will come from. No one wants to be “working class”. It means "employed as unskilled or semi-skilled manual or industrial work”. None outside the chatrooms of an immaterial activist cabal now refer to themselves as…

Government contributes to developing homeless crisis
There is increasing concern that recently introduced policy changes by National have made housing for the most needy amongst us more tenuous. On Morning Report Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was asked last Monday to point to a specific policy that had improved race relations rather…

Roger Douglas Has a Lesson for the Left
By Elliot Crossan – Cross-posted from post at System Change According to the Douglas doctrine, you move in quantum leaps. By the time your opponents catch up with what you’re doing, you’re on to the next thing. That’s how Toby Manhire summarised Roger Douglas’ approach to economic reform in The…

Culture wars are a diversion from addressing class struggles
Increasingly, in New Zealand we have been seeing the rising influence of culture wars that tend to mask, distract, and divert away from our most pressing socio-economic issues. They seem to be coming from the US where hotly debated topics such as race, gender, sexuality,…

So much for Localism and Devolution
When I was a Waitakere City Councillor I had the misfortune of occasionally attending the same meetings with then Auckland Mayor John Banks. It did not matter what the meeting was about, regional transport, environment, libraries or sport he always gave the same speech. He…

NZ: No jobs, expensive housing, time to leave
It gets rather depressing reading the statistics on National's induced recession as they steadily push New Zealand into stagflation. The Reserve Bank's previously unsignaled OCR decision last week wasn't a hopeful sign. Rather than sticking to their planned reductions over the next couple of years,…
