Martin Doyle cartoon: Inexorable march of the blocks

Click for big version.

Now that houses in Auckland are fast approaching the million-dollar mark, most people will never be able to buy one. We will simply join the rest of the world and live in housing blocks and housing estates. That's predictable enough. What's still a mystery is why no one is saying that.

Ref: Councils will have to supply land for housing

COMMENT

Gordon Campbell: On The Rise Of Simeon Brown

Replacing Shane Reti with Simeon Brown as the new Minister of Health is a signal that the gloves are coming off in this crucial portfolio.

Nicholas Khoo, The Conversation: Friend Or Foe? How Trump’s Threats Against ‘Free-Riding’ Allies Could Backfire

Donald Trump wants US allies to spend more on defence and has threatened NATO members with coercion. But allies have agency too, and are already planning their responses.

Ramzy Baroud: The Fight For Dignity - Reshaping Gaza’s Post-War Narrative

The time has come for a new narrative, one fundamentally different from those that have emerged in the wake of previous wars. The new narrative must position Gaza as the heart of the Palestinian struggle, as a model for humanity, and as the central path for the liberation of Palestine—which, thanks to Gaza, now seems closer than ever.

Gordon Campbell: On More Threats To Democracy From David Seymour

The Regulatory Standards Bill is another vehicle for constitutional change launched under the guise of sensible, garden-variety law-making.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Good Does Not Fight Evil, But Stands Firm And Dispels It

The die is cast where Trump, the United States and the post-World War II order are concerned. The failure of insight and imagination by academic, media and political elites, exemplified in the moronic “good Trump, bad Trump” fantasy, feeds the widespread hopelessness and paralysis.

Binoy Kampmark: Bitter Harvests - The Gaza Ceasefire

Whoever claims credit for these latest developments hardly lessens the bitterness of the harvest. The prevarications, delays and obstructions have permitted massive destruction and loss of life to take place. Cowardice and bad faith have been the hallmarks of the process. It remains unclear how all the relevant parties will behave.
