Last night I couldn't find the Green Party video from yesterday's Green Budget announcement, which might be a good thing because I ended up watching the BHN episode where Pat and Chewie talk with Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson (video below). I've been increasingly finding…

Reprinted with permission It’s not often I find myself needing to respond to a sitting Minister of Finance. But when Nicola Willis dismisses decades of feminist struggle for gender pay equity as “a grievance industry” and calls a journalist’s pointed social commentary “sexist slurs,” it…

During my life I have witnessed a number of Finance Ministers. I have no recollection of who did what in the 1960s, essentially because I was a kid. The 1970s were dominated by Rob Muldoon, a drunken dwarfish character whose insistence that markets do what…

The recent sense of shock and awe is strong. Following on from the undermining under urgency of the current Pay Equity scheme the Government intends to introduce the Regulatory Standards Bill. And its clear intention is to sideline the Waitangi Tribunal by again bringing forward…

Have to admit I have days where I think we should ban social media altogether, and I'm still in two minds about whether the internet is a net benefit to the world (I say that as someone who spends a lot of time online). The…

When the history of the sixth National Government is written I am confident that the events of this week will be described as the the beginning of the end. I did not think that a National Government could be so malicious or so completely indifferent…

David Parker's Deputy Leader 's speech in 2014 at the Wellington Labour Party Conference for me ranks as the best I ever heard from a Labour Leader. Vision matched values in intensity and scope. Parliament now loses one of its very best. I supported him…
