The 12 kilometre drive down the Raetihi Ohakune Road from Raetihi to Ohakune is a frankly depressing sight for anyone on the centre left. Every farmer's field bar one sports an ACT billboard seven in total. The exception is a National board. Rather than ...
Urban solutions for an urban based party. The problem rural NZ faces is there is no alternative to the car nor will there be. A little honesty from the left on climate change would be welcome. We all know whatever NZ does is just virtue signalling in the ...
70-80% vaccinated isn't going to give us herd immunity it needs to be more like 90% or we'll not only need more ICU's but morgue space.
Leave Simon in place to fight an election that will almost certainly now be lost, accept his inevitable resignation and install Luxon. It isn't hat hard really. The real question is the country ready to go back to what National has to offer even in three ...

Perhaps an affiliated Org mickey.
Mike you and I both remember the struggle to democratise the British Labour Party in the eighties. The right in the Parliamentary Labour Party used exactly the same techniques against Tony Benn that are being used to demonise Cunliffe. Labour did not ...
Just received the following from Labour's press office: 19 November 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT Labour Leader calls caucus meeting Labour Leader David Shearer has called his caucus to a meeting in Wellington at 4pm tomorrow. “I will be seeking the endorsement of ...
