Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty.

Luxon pitches for “tens of billions” of pension funds for motorways, prisons & hospitals, but the deals are too small or infrequent to garner interest; PPPs are also poor value for money for taxpayers

Moss. The Kepler Track is in a very wet part of the motu. It starts low, goes up through the treeline to alpine slopes where's it's mostly lichens and the wind can throw you over the side gusting to 130km, or maybe a blizzard, like the last time I walked it! A WONderful adventure every time.

NZ’s economy wasn’t in recession before the election. In the past 6 months the economy has dropped faster than any time since 1991 (excluding COVID). This is what the politics of austerity does. Nicola Willis and Christopher Luxon are clearly making things worse not better!
