    Stop Calling the MPs who act like a racist, a racist - that's woke!

    For almost 50 years, Winston Peters has found ways to blame migrants and minorities for problems to stir up racism and turn it into votes. For some of his voters, that’s what they relish. For others it’s what they choose to ignore because he speaks about culture war topics (many of which also have a race based element to them), or he gave them the gold card.  So when Chris Hipkins asks if the PM will reign in the racism - we all know the answer already… Check out www.election2026.co.nz for resources and tools to help you decide on who to vote for.

    Should Billionaires Influence Election Outcomes More Than You?

    The Silence was Deafening In The Storm

    Whether it’s the Prime Minister or your local Councillor, when disaster hits, we expect our leaders to stand up and lead - and this week, as extreme weather again smashes Aotearoa, we again find examples of piss poor leadership and empathy - but hey, the State of Origin is coming, so… cool I guess.

    Distraction is the oldest deflection in the Political World

    Tax or levy or fee for a bad LNG plan, dropping the Te Reo name for the school lunch program, the race baiting, the rage farming, the U-turns and downplaying of bad decisions and begging for bipartisan acceptance of their ideas - it’s a flood of distractions from the coalition to make you forget something really basic - they buggered up the economy and we are all paying the price for it.

    Well it doesn't look great... The Corruption Perception Index

    The LNG Terminal Misdirect Happening in Real Time

    This week’s announcement of a new levy to pay for a new LNG terminal to save us from an energy crisis was a masterclass in misdirection - from denying a tax is a tax because it’s ring fenced, to having state funded media prominently platform fossil fuel lobbyists as expert voices unchallenged all while ignoring an obvious alternative because it doesn’t benefit the lobbyist funders.
