New Zealanders were surprised when NZ First insisted in its coalition agreement on repealing the world-leading smokefree legislation when it had not campaigned on such a reversal. The party has also led on other pro-tobacco industry policies. https:// ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 8:00 pm, August 23rd, 2026
In your comment, you made two incorrect claims: … where only Carlos Cheung (Nat) and Michael Wood (Lab) are candidates … … because only Lab and Nat are standing … Incorrectness unchanged by your Wikipedia link (in fact, it confirms it).Written By: Incognito - Date published: 5:56 pm, August 23rd, 2026
… because only Lab and Nat are standing … That’s incorrect.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 4:42 pm, August 23rd, 2026
You’re unable to distinguish between Gareth Morgan and Ianmac’s opinions and going for a straw man without adding anything useful here, as per usual. As for Morgan’s opinion, let’s not take his characterisations literally and assume he was going for effect ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 3:32 pm, August 23rd, 2026
Yup, character has consequences, sometimes dire. As do character flaws. Groceries are for the body; character is for the soul. There’s a connection, somewhere …Written By: Incognito - Date published: 12:22 pm, August 23rd, 2026
Simeon Brown is National’s Election Campaign Manager and the big brains behind the attacks on (political) opponents (mostly Labour, so far), the BS claims, and the blatant lies. He’s the most dangerous man in National and wielding more influence than Luxon ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 12:13 pm, August 23rd, 2026
For these pricks politicians to obfuscate, spin and mislead the figures shows that they know what they are doing is morally and politically wrong. There are other terms one could use to describe the consequences of actions taken by the Coalition and ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 12:03 pm, August 23rd, 2026
It’s called having integrity and standing up for one’s principles. Sometimes, that hurts oneself and others, financially-materialistically, and that’s when the real test is of character and resolve. It’s not for the fainthearted.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 11:58 am, August 23rd, 2026

Indeed, the CPI (Cabinet Portfolio Inflation) is running at a record high, and the CCPI (Cabinet Capability & Performance Index) is at an all-time low. My conclusion is that this Government is in a self-inflicted political recession with several quarters ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 3:42 pm, August 22nd, 2026
The question [to the Minister of Health, Simeon Brown, asked in Parliament] repeatedly sidestepped [by Simeon Brown] was "Is it correct that the net increase in Health New Zealand full-time equivalent nursing staff between the quarters ending March 2024 ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 1:48 pm, August 22nd, 2026
At least you made it to pg. 3 of the report. So far, you’ve ticked all the boxes, i.e., despite the report, the sudden additional Government funding (NB getting any funding from this Government is like squeezing blood from a stone unless it’s RoNS), and ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 12:53 pm, August 22nd, 2026
The problem with people who have strong biases is that they’re quick to make assumptions (unchecked) and jump to conclusions (unverified). The other problem with such people is that they refuse to look for information that could challenge their pre-set ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 12:16 pm, August 22nd, 2026
Luxon could have asked Chris Penk to commandeer NZDF to provide him with an air bridge to get to work on time but he sacked him and Paul Goldsmith is too busy juggling his 11 portfolios. https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-08-2026/technically-possible-how ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 11:38 am, August 22nd, 2026

Is Luxon’s relationship with Mike Hosking a textbook example of transference? https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/08/22/the-secret-bond-of-mike-and-christopher/Written By: Incognito - Date published: 10:24 am, August 22nd, 2026
I'd be more likely to believe this if there were any actual numbers in this post. I doubt that, but in any case, just for you: The Department of Corrections estimated that as at the end of March 2026, 532 people (10.6 percent) across New Zealand were ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 4:56 pm, August 20th, 2026
Thank you for the link, which was good and I did read the second article by the same authors as well. I’d love to provide a more elaborate, because those two articles gave much to contemplate, but unfortunately, I’ve got too many things on the go.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 3:11 pm, August 20th, 2026

NZ voters clearly see the Coalition as responsible for the current economic pain they’re experiencing/suffering, and of the three Coalition parties, they see National as the biggest baddie. So much for the targeted, timely, and temporary reprieve measures ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 2:27 pm, August 20th, 2026
I might be a tad biased but when I hear/read anything from Luxon, it sounds to me he’s dog-whistling the Symphony of Superlatives. He’s barking up the wrong tree in the wrong room thinking he’s having a chinwag with Modi, when he talks of the Indian middle ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 11:40 am, August 20th, 2026

There are many fast cracks showing in the Fast-Track Approvals Act. Faster rarely means better and faster rarely means more efficient in the long run.

Paul Goldsmith doesn’t need AI to be more efficient, more productive, and manage his time better because he’s receiving unsolicited help from The Spinoff. https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-08-2026/technically-possible-how-paul-goldsmith-can-fit-11- ...
