Duncan Garner recently said this: "So I've been contacted by a National Party staffer who's told me the following. You're right, Luxon's f&*ked. Luxon is a moron, he's spelt cat "Kat". He gets bullied by a skinny white guy, Seymour, and he has no idea…

This trick of National could win them the 2026 election
In 2023, special votes meant National lost 2 seats and could not govern with ACT alone. The Green Party and Te Pati Māori gained after special votes were counted (special votes include from people who may have moved, people who had errors on their forms,…

The Tamaki Makaurau by election
With a very small turnout and half of the votes counted it appears that Orini Kaipara will win the Tamaki Makaurau by election. Update: Peeni Henare has conceded.

Simeon Brown plays with Kiwi lives
Perhaps the biggest news from a jam packed news week is how, under National’s Health Ministers Shane Reti & Simeon Brown, Health NZ illegally hid staffing data for over a year to conceal their systemic understaffing of our public health. More than half of all…

So, New Zealand First Then?
In 2026 New Zealand First in all likelihood will be back in power because Labour and National will need them to form government. New Zealand First are currently polling around 9%, just 1% below the Green Party. As Mark Daalder at Newsroom has pointed out,…

The Figjam Prime Minister
It appears that Christopher Luxon cannot buy a trick right now. Yesterday he chose to try and divert attention from the complete lack of job creation his Government has driven by celebrating a new announcement by an American Corporate that it was investing $7.5 billion…

Government to avoid proper scrutiny of plans to allow rich foreigners to buy mansions
Remember Act's Regulatory Standards Bill which would establish principles of responsible regulation and increase transparency? It appears that not all policy will be subject to these requirements.
