Today’s face of the day Phil Goff has had his emails hacked. 15,000 emails worth over 12 years were offered for sale to NZ legacy media. The interesting part is that what has upset the legacy media is not the fact that a crime has been committed and
Yesterday I warned the National party against cosying up to the Maori party. It seems that I was right on the money. National may not be able to rely on partnering up with the Maori Party after the election – if that party is able to secure a seat to get

Wendy Geus Ardern’s rhetoric does not match her actions. Inserting herself into a private land dispute whilst calling for unity at Waitangi is farcical. Her actions are causing division, but her naivety propels her to ignore that, and her every comment further muddies the waters. Her politics are not
Horizon has released a poll that is basically a “feelz” poll. It isn’t pretty reading for the Leader of the Opposition: Prime Minister and Labour leader Jacinda Ardern is making New Zealanders feel far more proud, hopeful and pleased than National and Opposition leader Simon Bridges. A long-running
