Welcome to KiwiMart. Bring Your Own Empty Shelf.
Greens force-buy 120 shops for $2.8b, hide the bill as wealth tax and call empty shelves competition. Not green: communist.

Quick Hit: Idle the Plant. Keep the Terminal?
The biggest user leaves for lack of gas. The Greens call that proof you never needed more.
Soviet Style at Your Checkout
This is nothing more than a cynical, shameless vote-grab, cruelly preying on the genuine anxiety of families struggling to put food on the table. It promises cheap groceries, but delivers nothing but empty promises, empty shelves and economic fairy tales.
The Greens Are Being Remarkably Honest
We should listen. The plan is for a very different New Zealand.
Is a Marae Near You Worth $2.44 Billion of Your Tax Money?
This $2.44 billion “donation” isn’t about community infrastructure is it: it’s a desperate, taxpayer-funded undertaking to buy votes. Why aren’t the media asking the Greens if they are serving New Zealanders, or just subsidising and aligning themselves with the Māori Party’s agenda?

Wellington Citizens Are in It
Sewage, after all, is brutally egalitarian: it does not care about your values, your slogans, or your intentions. It simply goes where neglect sends it – and Wellington is swimming in it, some say, deservedly.
Have the Greens Lost Their Mojo?
They enter election year with their poll numbers trending down, their internal organisation in flux, and their strategic positioning unclear. Friendly observers could be forgiven for asking: have the Greens lost their way?
Can We Look Back in Anger Yet?
Tolerance must not be a suicide pact. Every time a politician chooses comfort over clarity and a journalist downplays jihadist violence they are laundering ideology. This is how a society talks itself into paralysis.
The Greens and the Cannabis Argument
The Greens will struggle to persuade New Zealanders that we shouldn’t continue to say nope to dope, given the overwhelming evidence of the harms of legalisation.
Chloe Swarbrick: Fresh-Faced Idealist or Shrill Anti-Semite?
