National’s magical 4th term
To date, the National Party have behaved like a spoilt child convinced that somehow they were tricked and robbed into losing the election.

Filthy dirty NZ Cops busted
…the NZ cops knew Roberto Conchi Harris was bent, but used his testimony to arrest and send Tamihere down. Harris has gone down for 8 years and 7 months for his role in framing Tamihere, but what about the NZ cops who used him?

Wait, what? Hosking is blaming Clark with an e for Con with an e’s column?
…Hosking is criticising Clarke for responding to a fellow Herald’s character assassination as if it’s Clarke’s fault????

Why we need immediate change and why Shane Jones is 100% right to attack public service
Jones however correctly identifies the way in which the neoliberal Public Service bureaucracy slow down any actual ability to change things in NZ. This is a difficult reality for the Left to get their heads around, we have always seen the State as the means to create egalitarianism, what the new Government is quickly learning however is that the Ministries are fiefdoms of their own and serve in their interests, not the interests of NZ.

ANZAC Day – Lest we remember
The glorious war dead lie cold in the ground and must weep at our militarism and how their sacrifices have been twisted into continued justification for violence.

Greens trash Labour’s chances in Northcote – with allies like this, who needs National?
The Greens running in the Northcote by-election is as counter productive as Clarke Gayford asking Deborah Hill Cone for a character reference.

After character assassinating Clarke with an e – is the NZ Herald now just a blog with Trolls?
The Herald have had the audacity to pick up on their own columnists smear job on Clarke with an unnamed ‘story’ covering the outrage they created.
Clickbait using clickbait.

Banning the benefit for a Tinder date?!? This is why we still can’t trust Labour, the Greens & NZ First
There is a belief amongst some on the Left that our comrades inside the Government are so over whelmed by the enormity of the job and are being so expertly manipulated by the Public Services that there will be only shallow promises an no real policy change.

Even for Deborah Hill Cone, this is petty & spiteful
I’ve grown to like Deborah Hill Cone. The neurotic insightfulness of privilege after two bottles of white wine on a Wednesday in Devonport mixed with prescription drugs never sounded so self assured.
There are times she soars with enlightenment, cheers with genuine humour and preaches with conviction.
This hate column attacking Clarke Gayford however, sure as fuck isn’t one of them.

If students want to keep their libraries and reject the hollowness of neoliberal culture myths, they must fight to bring back Universal Student Membership.
