In praise of David Seymour & solidarity with Hong Kong protest at Auckland University today
I know.
I can’t believe I wrote it either.
Critical analysis breaking down New Zealand news coverage, media framing, and political narratives behind the headlines.

If NZ First ambush Labour like this, Andrew Little should immediately seek cross party support from moderates in National and roll right over the top of NZ First.
It looks like the Trade war + Trump + Hong Kong protests + Brexit could finally be the long awaited 4 Horsemen of the global economic apocalypse turning up in a delayed Uber.
This morning there is still confusion as to how the hell the Police managed to misread the very clear directions Jacinda had given to NOT escalate this.
Jacinda Ardern, this is happening on YOUR watch and History is watching.
That leadership over the Euthanasia Bill coupled with this new spine in standing up to China means I think he could rebuild the ACT brand.
If the NZ Police are able to create a precedence for secret trails using secret evidence, that impacts every single one of us as citizens in this democracy and so I invite all mainstream media to cover this exceptional trial on Wednesday 14th in Wellington. The only reason the Police are trying this on is because they don’t think anyone is paying attention.
To date, the National Party, (who are climate deniers and who represent climate denier voters as well as the polluters), have attempted to sell their war on electric cars as defending the poor working class tradies of NZ.
That’s bullshit.
Of course James Shaw is centrist, but you don’t take a shit in the bed and then storm off in a tantrum! You stick it out and make change, and Shaw is just one person in a Party that is incredibly democratic so blaming it all on him is pretty twee.
This is a great breakthrough and Andrew Little deserves to be congratulated for moving our Abortion laws out of the medieval period into the modern day. As America goes backwards into a Handmaiden’s Tale dystopia, it is a great relief to see us being so progressive.
