COMMENT

Keith Rankin: Dodgy Democracy, The Fiscal Double Standard, And The Application Of The Domino Theory To Ukraine

The Russia-Ukraine War is a mucky border conflict between two countries with a long & intertwined shared history, & with more than enough 'stirring of the pot' from outside to convert a regional security dispute into an existential global security threat. It can be settled with a deal that reflects the military situation, rather than by democratically compromised sabre-rattling from Western Europe

Gordon Campbell: On Why GP Practices Are In Crisis

The rising cost of going to the doctor means that many of those “Kiwis” cannot afford to get timely care.

Ramzy Baroud: From Gaza To Syria - The Unyielding Reality Of Israeli Settler Colonialism

Settler colonialism can never be resolved through creative solutions. A settler colonial state ceases to exist, and a settler colonial society ceases to function if territorial expansion is not a permanent state of affairs.

Ian Powell discusses how New Zealand’s health system got into its current mess and how to get out of it.
