The actions of attorney general Paul Goldsmith whenever the government is faced with legal outcomes they don't like is proof that the NZ government is effectively lawless.

Between now and the election, I do not want to see the media focussing on how badly Luxon is managing his caucus. I want to see them writing about how appallingly Luxon's government is managing the country.

The NZ government are so desperate to disparage the previous government's response to a global crisis - universally praised as amongst the best in the world - that they "busy" putting together a response to a different global crisis that will be universally recognised as amongst the worst.

The NZ govt seem to think that if they cuddle up to global corporates and offer all our resources to US businesses we'll become a mini-America. We won't, we'll become a mini-Philippines

Winston Peters' superpower is being able to cast himself as an outsider despite spending the vast majority of his time in Parliament since 1990 as a central figure in the governing coalition.
The media shouldn't buy into this gaslighting.

Quote of the day (from @pluralistic@mamot.fr )

"We’re in the polycrisis, a widening gyre of climate emergency, inequality, infrastructure neglect, rising authoritarianism and zoonotic plagues.
But that’s not the bad part."

So what is the bad part?

THE BAD PART IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A POSITION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ARE ALL TELLING YOU THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

The NZ government: a shining example not of leadership, but of regulatory capture run wild.
