New Zealand Politics

For too long we have allowed corporate interests and political spinelessness to squander time that could have been spent finding solutions. The time is over. We only have decades now.

So the timeline over the Treasury hack/leak has been clarified. But there’s still an enormous question hanging over all this.

The tribalism isn’t new, the hypocrisy isn’t either (we saw it play out with the free speech debate last year between Chelsea Manning & Southern & Moluneux) but what is illuminating is the depth with which the entrenchment has become.

The poll results last night are the worst possible outcome for pundits  because no one has any clear idea which one is right – TVNZ uses 50% landline & 50% cell phones and that methodology suggests something very different to TV3s 75% landline/25% online poll.
