If justice depends on what you can afford, it isn’t justice. And New Zealand is getting dangerously close to that line.

We keep pretending each disaster is a one-off. It’s not. And if the AMOC collapses, “unprepared” won’t even begin to cover it.

ACT dress it up in ideology. NZ First weaponise resentment with a grin. And now Taine Randell has decided that’s the wagon worth hitching himself to.

500 arrested in Britain for protest. Now NZ is quietly rewriting terror laws. This isn’t about safety — it’s about shutting you up.
