GUEST BLOG: Gerard Otto – A potential surge for minor parties

There’s probably some percentage of Labour voters thinking of going Green after the no CGT decision.The inequity, the unfairness, the feeling of loss, that a surrender came and stole victory at the last moment from the righteous fixers of the problem.

Ever since Mike Hosking raised his hands to calm down the stewing National Party wildebeests on 13th February 2019 and declared that there was no need to panic about one rogue poll, more rogue polls have confirmed the first one.

Nobody gives a shit what Simon Bridges said in 2018, and now the much heralded National Party policy platforms the partisan media boasted would even the score in 2019 seem to have evaporated into Jacinda star dust.

GUEST BLOG: Maire Leadbeater – Reflecting on Bougainville and ‘Soldiers without Guns’

By The Daily Blog  /  April 12, 2019  /  Guest Blogs + Sponsored Posts, Most Recent Blogs  /  3 Comments

The new movie ‘Soldiers without Guns’ does a fabulous job of telling the story of New Zealand’s ground-breaking unarmed Truce Monitoring Group 1997-1998.  No guns can be a safer and more effective option than the alternative. The movie is a fitting tribute to the courage and the sensitivity of the soldiers who broke down barriers through the medium of indigenous cultural exchanges.

Who better to tell us all about why Meghan Markel is not up to the job, or the insufferable difficulty experienced by the impossibly wealthy when finding a suitable multi million dollar rental in Auckland, or even just how Jacinda should fuck off if she wants to.

It was absolutely stupid of National to deprive post graduates of their allowances and thereby robbing many students of the ability to finish these high level but long duration courses.

GUEST BLOG: Gerard Otto – Priorities eight days after the massacre

By The Daily Blog  /  April 10, 2019  /  Guest Blogs + Sponsored Posts, Most Recent Blogs  /  5 Comments

The whole of New Zealand was in shock between 15th March and 23rd March.

These eight days were like no other really in recent history, as 50 of us were murdered in cold blood, mowed down in a place of worship and dozens were critically injured, paralysed or maimed.

This included young children.

What better time to ask New Zealanders about the priorities of the government and Business New Zealand saw it’s chance regarding the Capital Gains Tax.
