"How Winston Peters Turned "Go Back To Your Own Country" Into a Government Policy" - 2 August 2026
Thirty years, one script, zero consequences — while a white supremacist neoliberal coalition cashes in every single time.
"Ipsos vs Curia: Which NZ Political Poll Can You Actually Trust?" - 2 August 2026
A lobby group commissions a pollster with a disciplinary record. A government needs good news on cost of living. Here's how to tell a real poll from a manufactured one — and which one you should actually believe.
"THE PARENTAL TAX: How Louise Upston Turned Cancer Wards Into Means-Test Waiting Rooms" - 30 July 2026
A government that pays landlords $2.92 billion and tells dying teenagers to ask mum and dad instead — this is not fiscal discipline, it is triage by spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet was built to fail Māori first.
"The Grandmother Who Kept the Door Open While They Bricked the Rest Shut" - 29 July 2026
How Gael Finlayson-Davis's 70s-Something Courage Exposes Exactly What a Neoliberal Coalition Is Trying to Bury

They did not fail to feed the tamariki. They costed it, minuted it, and chose the landlords instead — 47,500 more children pushed into hardship while $2.9 billion went up the ladder. The moral failure is not hidden. It is filed, footnoted, and signed by ministers of the Crown.

They put their promise to Ngāpuhi in writing, then tore it up 263 days later — because Federated Farmers asked them to and the Taxpayers' Union paid to make them. This is not reform. It is an auction, and the whenua is the lot on the block.
"The Curriculum Con: How a White Supremacist Neoliberal Regime Tried to Bury Te Tiriti in a Filing Cabinet — And Got Caught Digging the Grave" - 23 July 2026
They didn't debate Te Tiriti out of the classroom — they tried to disappear it in a paperwork shuffle, and when the OIA request cracked the cabinet open, they blamed a "mistake." I don't believe in mistakes that happen twice, in the same direction, by the same hand.
"NZ First Wants Whānau to Buy a Fossil-Fuel Lottery Ticket — From the Government That Set the Pātaka Alight" - 20 July 2026
They are holding a match over the pātaka, charging the public for the petrol, dressing up discarded politicians as "the next generation" — and now asking to be paid again to put out the fire they lit themselves.
"When Rubio Cried "Left," Fifty-One Māori and Muslim Dead Went Unmentioned" - 18 July 2026
A white-supremacist-adjacent neoliberal coalition sent New Zealand's flag into a Washington summit built on a fifty-year-old statistic, while the actual killers of Christchurch keep organising, unwatched, in our own backyard.
