Gaslighting the public can only work for so long. It's time to take responsibility for the state of the economy.

New Zealand is punching above its weight in cowardice
Winston Peters promised that New Zealand’s recognition of Palestine was a matter of 'when, not if', which has a real deadbeat-dad-promises-he’ll-have-his-shit-together-next-week air about it.

Vanessa Weenink reckons it doesn't matter if the leader of the party is not the strongest player? In theory perhaps, but in reality this is how resentment builds.

Loved this Jon Stewart and Jacinda Ardern conversation. Too many leaders weaponise fear. True leadership treats power as responsibility—to act with empathy, optimism & courage, and to improve lives. A good reminder right now.

Chris Hipkins need to say yes to every interview. The more people hear him talk, the more they will like him. Kind of the opposite of the other Chris.

We are told that we should celebrate farmer success and pay extortionate prices for butter? Is it fair?

So I assume the new Minister of Health will be lobbying the new Minister of Transport to undo the speed limit shenanigans of the previous Minister of Transport, right?

A government that is more focused on to locking people up in prison for longer, than helping them to live productive lives, have their priorities wrong. Cutting funding to community services is expensive.

Wondering why Liberterians are always trying to call themselves anything but a Libertarian? Are they ashamed of their ideology? I have never come across progressive who do not proudly own their progressive views and work.

Deborah Hart called the situation in Gaza 'perceived wrongdoings.' Let's be clear: killing 44,835 people, including 17,492 children, isn't perceived—it's wrong. Full stop. And yes, antisemitic behavior in NZ is wrong too. Surely we can hold both truths at once?

ON QUIETLY UPPING THE I-REX FERRIES NUMBER FROM $3b to $4b:
Yesterday this govt found a few words for them to use as an excuse to say i-Rex cost $4b
Up until yesterday - and for a year - everyone, including this Coalition right wing, agreed on the $3b figure.
Don't let it go unnoticed.
