TVNZ sold an independent oncologist. Viewers didn’t get the Labour MP wife.
The campaign manager will not sell the leader’s line.
Hipkins keeps reminding the country why trust remains in short supply.
From the authoritarian ‘kindness’ of the contemporary left deliver us, O Lord!

New Zealand cannot afford another round of Labour’s fantasy economics. Voters are waking up to the pattern: announce the shiny promise, dodge the cost and blame someone else when the numbers fall apart.
Good intentions are no substitute for good policy, yet questioning expensive subsidies is increasingly treated as a moral failing rather than a legitimate debate about priorities.
