Republished with Permission Author: Bryce Edwards Dear Subscribers I am considering some changes to the New Zealand Politics Daily and Political Roundup newsletters. I want to increase the impact and reach of these services, and so I am keen to know how you use them currently and hear your suggestions
Maybe He Could Stop Playing Pocket Billiards?
Luxon comes across as inauthentic, insincere and glib. He speaks a bit like a whoopsy, has girly small hands when he flops them around... and he’s a bit of a dork. Oh and he’s bald, which often doesn’t play well in politics or with the ladies.
They Should Answer MSNZ
Finance Minister Willis, Pharmac chair Bennett and Regulation Minister Seymour should prove they’re on top of their ministries.
The Dying Wellington Myth
Give me a break. Its citizens have the highest income of any New Zealand city by a significant margin.
Petition to Release the NZ Pfizer Contract
When important information is kept secret, it can lead to rumours and misinformation. Releasing the contract prevents speculation, promotes clear, factual communication and reduces panic or distrust.

The numbers above suggest we already have a very fair tax system, which is possibly even skewed against high income earners. A party campaigning on a CGT in 2026 will be swamped at the polls.
They Still Want Us to Take Them Seriously
The Greens are the most sanctimonious and hypocritical of any party currently in parliament. Their record speaks for itself, yet they still want us to take them seriously.
Mass Immigration Is Breaking NZ
Now is the time to hit the pause button and allow our country and its infrastructure to recover. We need leaders who prioritize Kiwis First – not more reckless expansion and mass immigration.
Court Report NZDSOS V MCNZ: Part 1
Our position is that the GS and the way it has been used, as well as actions taken by MCNZ with respect to ivermectin, have harmed both New Zealanders and the profession of medicine, perhaps irrevocably.
Commissioner Claims Response Was Professional and Balanced
While Coster acknowledged these findings, he maintained that the police only escalated their response “when necessary”, adding that their approach brought about “the safest resolution that could have been achieved.”
Bill Focusing on Palliative Care Welcomed
Patients facing death have a fundamental human right – a right to receive the very best palliative care, love and support that we can give. This is real death with dignity.
