Martin Doyle cartoon: Making a bungle gym

Opinion: Martin Doyle

Making a bungle gym

By Martin Doyle

It is moronic that schools are now being built in New Zealand with classrooms, doors, fittings, and even playground equipment that is unsuitable for children. Who does the Ministry think it's building schools for?

COMMENT

Richard S. Ehrlich: Israel, Hostages, Thailand & Jobs

Thailand was involved in delicate diplomatic efforts to gain their freedom, 'so it does not want to create any problems that will cause any misunderstanding among parties involved in the conflict,' then-Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said.

Binoy Kampmark: Trump, Tariffs And Russia - A Very Muddled Policy

The broader lesson here is that economic weapons that seek to strangle, coerce and direct a nation state into action are blunt, inconsistent in their application and often counterproductive. The most telling response from the target state is adapting and adjusting to disruption, and Russia shows better signs than most in doing so.

Gordon Campbell: DeepSeek, And China’s Inexorable Rise

The week’s big story has been about China’s DeepSeek low-cost AI model and Nvidia losing $600B of its value.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: History Is Not A Game

There is an inverse relationship between the upward spiral of science and technology and the downward spiral of human civilisation and consciousness. Is history just a quickening repetition on the same themes of human ignorance?

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - ACT Looks Backwards

The debate about privatising state assets has reared its head again, with calls by the ACT leader for the government to sell off more assets to help balance its books and the Prime Minister’s now typical vaguely ambiguous, non-committal response.

Binoy Kampmark: Funeral Atmospherics At The British Library

This particular gem of a library is a citadel of comfort for the reader and researcher, now sadly soiled by the devastatingly effective efforts of a group named after a centipede. The knowledge, however, is still there, made even more tantalising by difficulties in accessing it. It’s up to the custodians of the Library to ensure that access is made as easily as possible, whatever the headaches.
