Submit as if your grandkids’ lives depend on it
Last week was a big week in politics. The Government did a number of things each of which was deeply disturbing and deeply detrimental to our country. They included: Walking back on a promise which was used to attack Labour repeatedly, which was to provide…

The Hospital Dunedin needs?
National is getting lots and lots of flack about its announcement that the plans for Dunedin Hospital are going to be scaled back. And it deserves every piece of opprobrium that is being thrown at it. Because on the scale of cynical breaches of pre…

Bye, Bye Health!
Bye, Bye hospital plans! Today Rachel Thomas reports - $3.2 billion is sleighted to come out of “hospital and mental health infrastructure projects”, and it seems the first formal casualty is Dunedin hospital, South Island. ODT reports former Labour Cabinet minister Pete Hodgson saying: “At…

Ferry ferry quite contrary
Unfortunately for the Government the replacement ferry issue will not go away. And every week it seems to get worse. Previously they had placed great faith in private enterprise aka Bluebridge ferries providing a solution. But one of its ferrys losing power and drifting for…

Luxon is deconstructing the plane while flying it
While working for Air NZ Luxon learned a thing or two about flying planes full of unwitting passengers. For example, he learned how to use the onboard intercom. “Kia ora! This is your captain speaking, my name is Chris Luxon and I’m the captain during…

The New Zealand left are in the worst place in a century
New Zealand has the most right wing government it’s had since Governor George Grey determined to eradicate all Maori power by systematic war and then systematic legislative theft in 1863. This government’s policies are pretty much identical to the quarry-enclave economy of British boom-bust cycles…

On Labour’s Enduring and Unrelenting Historic Role
The 2012 reforms of the Labour Party, which created a unitary Party, replacing a quasi-bimodal Party-Caucus model, were always, for me, a bad move. This view enraged Mr Trotter, who accused me of, sin of sins, “realpolitik”, but I remain convinced that the perverse effects…

Luxon loses his cool when asked about doctoring gang membership statistics
Unless you have been living under a rock or have been in an intense coma during the past few years you would have heard National spokespeople saying that gang membership numbers have surged under Labour many, many times. Labour was allegedly soft on crime and…

Lester Levy, $320,000 Part time Health NZ Commissioner: “It’s not for me to fix everything”
This is an excerpt from the Mountain Tui substack post In watching the Health Select Committee yesterday, it became clear to me why Margie Apa remains Health NZ CEO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGEylqZEBFU During Levy’s testimony, Apa sat like a rock next to her boss. She nodded supportively,…

It must be tough being really rich. Imagine having that much spare cash that you could give hundreds of thousands of dollars to right wing parties, just to make sure that your privilege is preserved. And the attacks by the right on any proposal for…
