Critical analysis breaking down New Zealand news coverage, media framing, and political narratives behind the headlines.
The NZ Institute, a far right think tank, is desperately trying to keep neoliberal globalisation as NZs default settings. After 30 years of the neoliberal experiment in NZ, the NZ Institute needs to keep the myths and lies alive that the free market is the only market.
The decision to run Mt Albert is a disastrous one for the Greens, they could redeem that by selecting Swarbrick for Auckland Central.

Considering what a far right Christian Bill English is, does our PM support banning Muslims?
Here’s a point worth remembering – doesn’t Trump make you wish the Democrats hadn’t run a corrupted Primary process and allowed Bernie to win instead? Sanders would have crushed Trump, the Identity Politics Liberals allowed Trump to win and we have 4 years to make sure the Identity Politics Liberals don’t fuck it up again.

If you want to stop terrorists coming to your country, stop making more by bombing them.
