GUEST BLOG: Bryan Bruce – Interview with Hunger Striker David Goldsmith
With the help of some Wellington volunteers I caught up with Dvaid yesterday and did an interview for NZPTV which you can find here.

The Mike Hoskings of this world are telling New Zealanders not to believe the numbers thrown up by Newshub’s Reid Research poll. They simply cannot accept that the social solidarity which was asked for, and given, during the period of Lockdown has paid such handsome political dividends. Clearly, they are no historians.
One has been described as desperate, the other as a conspiracy theorist.
The Newshub poll is such a bombshell because many feared the rise of Judith Collins would excite a dark side of the NZ psyche and National would be competitive again.
On Saturday I attended the Alternative Aotearoa meeting in Wellington. This was a fantastic event, organised by my friend and fellow Daily Blogger John Minto. I think what stood out for me was the large number of young people, pākeha, Māori and Pacifica who spoke passionately about the need for change in so many aspects of New Zealand life.
It is going to be a Labour majority Government.
We face the largest challenge in modern NZ politics and what is National doing under Judith? Assassinating careers with the ease of a tinder swipe.
We are better than this type of explicit political enmity aimed towards the most vulnerable amongst us.
On election day, I think Labour will win, but if Helen White keeps this type of campaign up, it’s going to be an upset.
Well it’s been a week of the bad and the ugly and not much good at the Beehive.
