Protesters Slam Luxon’s Silence on Iran War

From the heart of Auckland, the message was blunt: If New Zealand won’t speak out, what exactly does it stand for?

They’re caring for New Zealand’s most vulnerable — and paying for it themselves. Even after the increase, many say they’re still going backwards.

More than 50 beds gone. An ageing population rising. And nowhere for people to go except already stretched hospitals.

Three days. That’s all it was. Now even that’s too much to ask from a system that never wants to switch off.

If it’s about safety, why no body cams? If it’s about protection, why does it feel like surveillance?

Auckland is told to grow — then blocked when it tries. Another housing cut, another reminder of who really holds the power.

I’ll happily hammer Winston when he deserves it — but this time he’s done the job. Rebuilding ties with the Cook Islands is exactly what New Zealand should have been doing.

Sometimes a cartoon says everything.

National in the 20s. Labour ahead. TOP rising. This isn’t just a bad poll — it’s a warning the election could break wide open.

It starts as gossip. It ends as political warfare. The Chris Hipkins controversy shows how fast outrage turns into weaponised narrative.
