A New Zealander came home from the Gaza flotilla with a story Wellington would rather not hear: guns, beatings, threats — and silence from our leaders.

Rich foreigners buying farms? Welcome in. Poor migrant workers overstaying visas? Bring in the political attack dogs. This isn’t policy, it’s hypocrisy.

David Seymour attacking RNZ from The Platform is Temu Trump theatre: bully the broadcaster, sneer at journalism, then call it free speech.

The weirdest thing about Javier Milei may not be the dead dog stories anymore. Allegations around disinformation networks and political money are becoming far harder to ignore.

Winston smells blood. Luxon looks weaker by the day. And as the economy slides deeper into crisis, the coalition’s civil war is becoming impossible to hide.

Winston Peters is tearing chunks out of National while Luxon looks too weak to stop him. The question now is whether this coalition crisis is entirely deliberate.

ACT wants a NZ version of ICE. But is this policy, or a desperate bid to outflank Winston on immigration?

Winston Peters hasn’t blown up Luxon over Iran out of principle. He is manufacturing a crisis, gutting National, and making his move.

ACT will scream free speech when it suits them. But when Israel kills journalists exposing its violence, suddenly the silence is deafening.

Selling wine to fund a political campaign is weird. Selling it to push charter schools? That’s something else entirely.
