As New Zealand’s panjandrums of “combatting extremism” like to babble, “If there’s just one Nazi flag at your rally, it’s a Nazi rally”. Worse, we’re finger-wagged, “If nine people sit down at a table with one Nazi without protest, there are ten Nazis at the table”

Rod Kane I have no idea who the winner was Wednesday night but it’s fairly obvious who the losers were: us. This wasn’t a debate, it was a badly choreographed yell fest. Hipkins came off the blocks shouting like an enraged parrot and he never really stopped until
Hanna Wilberg University of Auckland The National Party’s pledge to apply sanctions to unemployed people receiving a welfare payment, if they are “persistently” failing to meet the criteria for receiving the benefit, has attracted plenty of comment and criticism.
