Looks like Luxon Wants to Stare Down the Backstabbers, Again
The backstabbers are not going away. They are just waiting to see if three votes are still enough.
NZ Politics
The Growing Threat From the Far Right?
Our own intelligence service is telling us that violent extremism doesn’t belong exclusively to the right, or the left. Perhaps we should start listening. Because a threat that we’ve persuaded ourselves doesn’t exist is much harder to stop.
What the Left Constantly Ignores
If the left (Labour, the Greens, TOP and the Māori Party) was sincere about reducing child hardship they’d stop ignoring crucial evidence.
National’s List and the Quirks of MMP
National needs more votes, not a new electoral system.
And Here We Go…
Imagine asking Gemini about the Musket Wars and being told, in not so many words, that it can’t help you because it’d make Māori look bad. Make no mistake. This isn’t about human rights or “te Tiriti”. It’s a blatant power grab.

Foreign Interference Is Very Real Here
I recently gave a speech to MPs, academics, journalists, and the general public on foreign interference in New Zealand, sharing some real and personal stories of mine.
RNZ’s Te Reo Policy Dovetails With He Puapua
Māori history and culture is obviously a very important strand in New Zealand society – and often a fascinating one – but the bowdlerised and black-armband version that RNZ provides only hurts its credibility.
Really
If he’s back as prime minister after 7 November he’ll just have to put up with yahoos and numpties around the cabinet table. In fact he’s likely to have more of them.
Luxon’s Foot-in-Mouth Disease Hits Terminal Stage
Someone needs to act like the adult in the room. Right now that person is nowhere to be found.
