The new media focus on under 30s who have managed to buy houses is life style envy porn
The myths of neoliberalism are vital for it to continue as the dominant ideology, and the most important myth of neoliberalism is that with just some hard work from the individual you can be rich.

6 months out from 2017 election – why Maori, Women and Youth vote could determine result
The Housing Crisis is still paying political dividends to National as the property speculating middle classes continue to back Bill English, but if Millennials and Gen Xers turn up angry at the polls, it could spell an end to National’s dream of a fourth term.

Paula Bennett and the Ministry of ‘Yeah-nah’ – why she really hates a tourist tax
I think it tells us something about the failing landscape of journalism in NZ that the National Party can make hard right ideological decisions confronting the nation, and there isn’t the intellectual depth within our Press Gallery to even recognise and call it out.

All Bill English is saying, is give war a chance: The vicious calculation behind National’s war crime denial
It is insane that we can live in a country where there is a bloody investigation over how a drug dog was shot at Auckland airport but there won’t be an investigation into serious war crime allegations.

From CYFs to Ministry For Vulnerable Children – everything wrong with NZ culture in just one story
CYFs has been remodelled 14 times before this, watching the mainstream media pundits faithfully do their sympathetic head nodding bullshit as the latest bureaucrat is wheeled out to promise a better future, as was seen on The Nation this weekend, is probably the most sickening part of this masquerade.

Q+A Review: Why Gen X and Gen Y are the bitter neoliberal harvest we can’t ever mention on mainstream media
The most amazing part of the discussion was how the mainstream media pundits and TVNZ staff refused point blank to consider that the Gen X and Millennial disgust and aversion of politics is a perfectly normal and rational response to the out right greed and contempt of the current political landscape because of neoliberalism.

Let me get this straight – the NZDF knew the only thing wrong with accusations of war crimes was that they were mistaken villages?
It is now up to the media to rip the NZDF to pieces. They’ve lied to you as much as they have lied to the people of NZ, surely you can’t let them lie directly to your faces and you’ll just accept it?
