Confusing Confidence with Competence: Erica Stanford and the Bulldozing of Education Reform
I went through school in a system where the only goal was to prepare us for a job. That was it. No big ideas about growing confident learners, critical thinkers, or creative contributors to society. No talk about identity, belonging, or the joy of learning.…

NZ sleepwalking towards bastardised hybrid health model
Half-baked attempts to fix New Zealand’s failing health system has resulted in Aotearoa drifting into a hybrid public-private model that threatens to combine the worst of both worlds. Because of broad political consensus that healthcare should be primarily state-funded and the complexity of dismantling the…

Power Companies Collude to Require New Zealand Coal-Fired Electricity
The country’s four main power companies have signed an agreement to stockpile coal and to extend the life of the coal-fired Huntly power station. Genesis, Mercury, Contact, and Meridian control 85% of electricity supply and customers in New Zealand, and have sought Commerce Commission approval…

Because it makes so much more sense to destroy communities and fund hospitals instead
Another day, another stupid consequence of NACTFirst's mongrel government policies. North Shore hospital has dedicated a ward for patients who would normally be discharged but have nowhere to go. RNZ, North Shore Hospital has an entire ward of people stuck in hospital with no medical…

Was it Luxon’s idea to cancel pay equity claims under urgency?
It certainly appears so. Yesterday there was a dump of information about the cancellation under urgency of pay equity claims earlier this year. The timing is suspicious. A Thursday dump immediately before a Parliamentary recess week means that the response is somewhat more muted. Radio…

Old fast track, new fast track
The Herald are reporting... something... about Labour's intentions around NACTFirst's Fast-track Approvals Act that was designed to prioritise business and profit well ahead of the environment and communities. Chris Hipkin's response to National poking at Labour, is to go tit for tat with Chris Bishop,…

Can we trust Shane Jones?
You might be able to tell from my writing that I have never liked Shane Jones. When he was a Labour MP he always struck me as being glib, lazy and his values were difficult to ascertain. He charmed and talked his way onto the…

Corbyn still draws a crowd – what’s new?
Zarah Sultana for one - she's a star. Gaza for another - anti-zionism/semitism won't work this time. 500,000 signed up in a week for a new political party is impressive. Ten years ago when Jeremy Corbyn was unexpectedly added to the list of candidates for…
