Russell Brown's Hard
News
So the anti-Green and Labour smear pamphlets turn out
to be the handiwork of the Exclusive Brethren? Freaky.
There's no evidence that National even knew about the
Brethren campaign, but it will not exactly welcome the news
that its campaign on behalf of the "mainstream" has...

GUEST: David Haywood
The debate over parental
corporal punishment of children has got me thinking. As I
understand it, the two sides of the argument go something
like this. People like Sue Bradford and the Plunket Society
are concerned that Section 59 of the Crimes Act
currently...

Che Tibby's view from Wellington
I was heading
out to Seatoun today for lunch, and made the mistake of
jumping a bus. Instead of getting to Seatoun, I ended up in
state house hell in Strathmore. For those of you who don't
know Wellington, don't feel bad...

David Slack on his own account
1. Please
read the following statement: You need to be sloppy, soft
and wet - i.e. open up the cheque book, as excruciating as
this will feel. There is a large government surplus and the
real result will be determined by who the public thinks is
best to spend...

Keith Ng on the election trail
Funny thing
happened while I was taking out the trash earlier this
evening. I was out the back of the house when I heard
someone shout "someone stop that guy!" on Aro Street. I
bolted out to see David Farrar and Labour Party hack Greg
Stephens sprinting down...

Russell Brown's Hard News
Euphemism of
the week. So far. "We will ensure there is equity between
private rentals and state home rentals." It sounds sort of
nice in context in National's Housing policy, but yes, what
it means is a return to market rentals for state
housing...

Graham Reid's many things
Here is a piece I wrote
recently. I offered it to the Herald but haven't heard back.
It may have dated a little but . . . The first time I went
to New Orleans I stayed in a small hotel a couple of blocks
north of the French Quarter...

Keith Ng on the election trail
I don't have kids,
and I'm not even close to hitting the second tax bracket,
but damnit - I want to cash in on this election. The
weekend's poll has shifted Centrebet's odds to 1.75 for
Labour and 1.95 for National...
