…and here is Grant Robertson talking about the record-breaking amounts of money he spent as Finance Minister. Treasury has recently come out and said the scale of the spending was too much in the latter half of the COVID pandemic. But Robertson can admit no wrong here either.

WATCH: Grant Robertson explains the decision of he and his Labour colleagues not to appear before the COVID Inquiry - calling it a “showtrial” and lamenting the mean names they were called. They’re the victims…there’s absolutely no reflection on the harms the policies caused.

Good analysis - right-wing populism exists because policymakers are ignoring the will of the voters and forcing a suite of policies on them that they disagree with. Immigration policy is an exemplar.

The Center for Immigration Studies in the US released a study earlier this week showing that the illegal immigrant population reduced by 1.6 million from January to July 2025, and the total foreign born population reduced by 2.2 million over the same time period - a record
An analysis by the Centre for Immigration Studies finds the US illegal immigrant population declined by 1.6 million in the first half of 2025, and total numbers of foreign born are down 2.2 million - mostly via self-deportation. The lesson for New Zealand is that it’s amazing

GREAT REPLACEMENT UPDATE - New Zealand, August 2025. New Zealand is still experiencing historically high levels of both migrant arrivals and migrant departures. Although the coalition government has managed to reduce immigration levels down from the all time peak that occurred

What is public opinion in New Zealand like on the Gaza war and Palestine? Here are the most recent polls I could find. A recent poll commissioned by the Palestine Solidarity Network found 60% of Kiwis favour sanctions on Israel. Link - A Talbot-Mills

Israel’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs responds to PM Christopher Luxon’s comments that Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost the plot”.👇.
I guess when you don’t really need an army because your most deadly enemy is a possum or a cat, you wouldn’t comprehend the challenges that come with facing Hamas - a jihadist death cult - only a few kms away from your country, that rape, execute, burn alive and starve your.

Visits to UK porn sites have halved after the new age verification scheme kicked in. This is fantastic news. I’m still concerned about the potential for censorship of political views, and internet control, but these are real benefits. Read more -
