Critical analysis breaking down New Zealand news coverage, media framing, and political narratives behind the headlines.
Good to see Tracy Watkins a full 3 weeks behind The Daily Blog in appreciating the role NZ First plays in the 2017 election. Once she catches up on how this impacts the rest of the political spectrum, Stuff will almost start providing the same level of political analysis TDB does a month after TDB does it.
I believe a far more radical political agenda than is being offered by anyone in the current political spectrum will be required if this stars quo continues.
Let’s put the blame where it needs to go, the National Party’s short term cheapest option vision that gives not a damn about our collective environment or long term economic well being.
…National are merely shuffling budgets around and adding them on top of things they’ve already promised to make it look significant.
With this rhetoric, Winston is after National Party voters in the provinces, the challenge is how to decry Winston’s tactics without ruling out working with him after the heat and bluster of the campaign.
The truth is that the biggest challenge to our housing crisis is foreign speculators and domestic slum lords, allowing immigrants to become the focus ignores those doing the most damage and avoids the free market dynamics that are exacerbating issues in New Zealand.
Can’t you hear your dead in their graves scream in fury that their deaths have taught us nothing?
All in all a pretty squalid and vapid revamp before the election to get Nick Smith off the telly and try to woo female voters back with Kaye.
…if the complainant attempts to take me to the District Court I will ensure everyone knows what the material is and ask for you all to spread it as far and as wide as you can.
If you think change will come to NZ just by voting in September, you are grossly underprepared for the truth because the reality is that our fight only begins when they get in.
