The Good Oil Podcast – Episode 31 – Elliot Ikilei
Tune in for laughs, tough truths and a reminder that real change starts with honest conversations.
NZ Politics
The Renewal of the West and a Reckoning for New Zealand
A people who can no longer affirm their own worthiness to endure have chosen, quietly and finally, the path of extinction.
The Scarf, the Activist & the Media
A critical analysis: why NZ Herald’s keffiyeh story on Davien Gray is NOT what it seems.
What Do the Letters TVNZ Stand For
Most don’t watch One News for these reasons. It brings to mind the Herman’s Hermits hit from 1966 – “A Must to Avoid”.
UNDRIP on the Sly
National, Labour and ACT are sneaking the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into New Zealand law.
Willis Runs for Leader While National Panics Over Winston
National can keep leaking and attacking if they want. But they might want to remember one thing in politics: you have to know how to count. On the current numbers this looks more like panic than strategy.
Quick Hit – ACT Sniffs the Wind and Borrows NZ First Immigration Policy
This is ACT desperately trying to poach votes by copying NZ First’s successful playbook. They’re right on the policy, but it highlights ACT’s polling slump while NZ First surges.
National’s War on Winston: The Same Old Playbook That Never Works
National should focus on governing instead of this tired old vendetta. But old habits die hard. The attacks will continue and NZ First will respond in kind.
The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
Once again we see Simon Watts, as minister of local government, carrying the co-governance torch for Luxon, prioritizing unelected influence over equal rights. Watts is acting as a frontman for Luxon’s broader strategy to further cement tribal authority.
So the Media Lawyers Up
The chilling effect is coming from inside the house. I received a legal letter this week too.
Clark Should Look to Her Own
It’s so pathetically obvious what these lefty journalists are trying to do.
NZ’s Voter Sentiment
How the coalition responds to these intertwined pressures and delivers for those who backed it in 2023 – before parliament dissolves on 1 October – will be pivotal in shaping voter sentiment and, ultimately, the election outcome.
Luxon Lectures Winston on Judgement, Reveals He Is Wetter Than an Otter’s Pocket
Voters can see who has good judgement when it actually matters. This government needs Winston’s steady hand more than ever; not Luxon’s urge to follow the crowd.
