I will fight tirelessly to get cannabis reform in this nation not just because prohibition is a failure, not just because locking people up doesn't work, not just because it provides economic progress, but because I also believe we as a people need desperately to get stoned.

The latest political poll spells real danger to the Labour-led Government. After ruling NZ First out as a possible coalition partner by National, NZF has slumped to 3%.
GUEST BLOG: Arthur Taylor – No not all cops are “bad”
No not all cops are "bad", but unfortunately too big a proportion of them are power trippers and let the uniform, car, taser, pepper spray, gun go to their heads. They let down all the good cops.

Jacinda’s Political Faith Broader Than Any Church.
AS ELECTION-YEAR GAME-PLANS go, it’s a good one. Why bother to reconstruct Labour as a “broad church” when the same effect can be achieved by creating a broad political “faith” out of three separate parties.

The silence of the lambs – How did National get away with a failed...
When you remind yourself just how corrupt the National Party in power were, and then look at the so called 'corruption' of this current Government whose main criticism is that Jacinda is too popular overseas and hasn't managed to repair all the damage National caused over a decade, you really appreciate the double standards we as voters accept in NZ.

Defining Issues
UNFOLDING, IN A WELLINGTON COURTROOM, is a drama which speaks directly to the defining issues of our time. What is racism? How central is racial discrimination to the moral deficiencies of our society? What is Hate Speech? More importantly, what is the relationship between Hate Speech and Free Speech? And, lastly, what sanctions – if any – should be imposed upon those whose opinions give widespread offence?

So Jacinda and Simon clashed in Parliament yesterday and we got to see how their peer reviewed attack lines played out and extrapolate from how they are insulting each other what they are trying to spin to the watching voters
