#FastTrackWatch - Here's the first Political Roundup in a new series, published by the Herald, critiquing the Govt's Fast Track Approvals Bill. This first one puts forward the arguments in favour: nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/sh…
#FastTrackWatch - If you want to critique something, it's important that you understand it first. Here's my Political Roundup trying to put the case in favour of the Govt's fast-track consenting regime: democracyproject.nz/2024/04/27/bry…
The Office NZ starring Chris Luxon. #TheOfficeNZ
World War One was never about freedom & justice. It was a row between royal cousins, emperors & (of relevance today) who could have oil rich parts of Middle East. Odd thing for Aotearoa people to fight for.
Luxon is showing his "strong leader" populist side by dealing to incompetent ministers - my "Political Roundup" for the Herald today: nzherald.co.nz/nz/christopher…
Shit, I thought John Key was a tough PM for dropping Ministers from the Ministry after a couple of years purely on lack lustre performance (as opposed to scandal). But Luxon has removed portfolios from two Ministers after just six months, as their performance wasn't where he…
#FastTrackWatch - cartoon by Murdoch in The Post today:
Tory Whanau’s proposal to “swap” WCC’s stake in Wgtn airport for something else getting some fairly strong feedback from former Green minister Eugenie Sage.

#FastTrackWatch: The Auditor General has published his concerns about the Govt’s Fast-Track Approvals Bill, especially in terms of “conflicts of interests” for the ministers involved, and the lack of transparency and accountability in their processes: oag.parliament.nz/2024/fast-trac…
This has been updated following the morning's argument, now that the Crown's argument is better known.

73% of those on “low incomes” agree with the statement that “New Zealand’s economy is rigged to advantage the rich and powerful” – my column on NZ’s anti-Establishment mood: democracyproject.nz/2024/04/20/bry…
79% of those who vote Labour, Green or Te Pati Māori agree with the statement that “New Zealand needs a strong leader to take the country back from the rich and powerful” – my column on NZ’s anti-Establishment mood: democracyproject.nz/2024/04/20/bry…
Wonder how many NZers see these arguments & think: 'So what? I'd still rather have public sector cuts & tax cuts because public services didn't improve under the last govt.' Probably a large number of people.

World War One was never about freedom & justice. It was a row between royal cousins, emperors & (of relevance today) who could have oil rich parts of Middle East. Odd thing for Aotearoa people to fight for.
@NZFreeSpeech @jon_rauch Just noticed that Victoria University cancelled its free speech event, apparently because it was too challenging to schedule a conversation about how to have challenging conversations.
Shit, I thought John Key was a tough PM for dropping Ministers from the Ministry after a couple of years purely on lack lustre performance (as opposed to scandal). But Luxon has removed portfolios from two Ministers after just six months, as their performance wasn't where he…
Decent chance this govt only gets one term. That sounds like good news for Labour, but it's probably not - unless Labour has a plan & actually implements change (unlikely). If Labour wins in '26 & offers more of the same then they'll probably only last one term too.
Looking forward to the Randroids protesting trading restrictions for tomorrow. Because of course they are going to right? They’re against other days with trading restrictions. So why would tomorrow be different?
This is something to watch and right now something to be proud of - a gross and brazen over reach by government Minsters called out by the AG and Commissioner for the Environment - thank you! rnz.co.nz/news/political…
ACT's Free Press this week discusses the Ipsos report that suggests NZ wants a populist leader, finding it could only come from TPM / the Greens as Chris Luxon is a self-styled "elite" and Winston Peters is no maverick. Great that ACT isn't self-censoring in coalition.
Defence for free speech needs to be consistent, and principled. We can address the major issue of illegal gang activity in our communities without betraying ourselves and abandoning the basic freedoms we all desire. Be tough on illegal action- but silencing speech rarely…
The debate over the Fast Track Approvals Bill shouldn’t really be a left/right thing. It’s about those who believe in responsibility and accountability and those who don’t. It’s really that simple.
The current government’s decision to invite political donors to participate in the fast track consenting process stinks, particularly as ministers propose to give themselves the power to make arbitrary decisions. Ethical standards are an endangered species under this govt.

You're totally out of order @bryce_edwards albeit I say this in a nice way :) The cost of infrastructure in NZ is obscene and doing so much damage to our lives. The whole consenting process is a joke. Builder bought $2k of skylights: council charges $5k for consents. No!
