Budget 2025 has been and gone, and we are back to working on how to grow out of this recession. In the face of what seems like overwhelming uncertainty and change, it’s time to embrace the future, including AI. My thoughts in the Weekend Herald

OPINION: AI offers huge opportunities amid current economic challenges.

There is a new front in the government’s battle to control the cost of living. And the public are likely much more interested in issues like these than in parliament’s (admittedly) poor behaviour. My thoughts in the Weekend Herald.

OPINION: Dairy prices are rising; butter now costs $3 more than last year.

Social media has driven politics to more extreme positions on both the left and right, but the middle voters are still around, and they are starting to assert themselves. My thoughts in the Herald today.

As Trump goes about destroying the US economy, we need to keep strengthening ours. Big grocery should act to strengthen grocery competition before it’s done to them. My view in today’s Weekend Herald.

OPINION: The big challenge is a third player having enough scale to compete effectively.

The government’s announced restructure of the science system will achieve little and is a pointless hangover from the last government. My thoughts in the Weekend Herald today

Some reflections on the political contributions of Nikki Kaye and Tariana Turia, and how social media fuelled aggression is damaging politics more and more. My thoughts in the Weekend Herald today

The eight year long Interislander ferry saga obscures a bigger issue - Kiwirail is increasingly irrelevant for freight outside the Akl-Ham-Tga triangle. And it’s sucked up $12 Bn in taxpayers cash since it was “bought” back. That’s a lot of new hospitals.
nzherald.co.nz
OPINION: Ferry saga shows politicians should be kept from commercial decision-making.

Despite the momentum seeming to be with Trump recently, I won’t be surprised if Kamala Harris wins this. A disproportionately large vote from women could carry her over the line. Trump also not helping himself in the closing stages. Of course, opining from a long way away…
