"There have been other benefits for Portugal from de-criminalisation. Thanks largely to officially supported needle swaps, confirmed HIV cases fell from 1,287 in 2001 to just 16 in 2019."

"It probably goes without saying that Luxon’s asset sales plan is a throwback to the 1980s, and to the privatisation excesses of the fourth Labour government that continue to cripple our economy ... Talking of which, we sold Air New Zealand and then had to buy it back when the private sector ran […]

"The marker dominance of the banking cartel and the supermarket duopoly have been left untouched. Far less attention though, has been given to what has been taken away. Routinely, all three coalition parties rail against Big Government. It is part of their political DNA. In reality however, the […]

"So far, the oil proceeds have not led to significant diversification of the Timorese economy, or to much in the way of private sector development. Successive Timor-Leste governments have pinned their hopes on the Greater Sunrise liquefied natural gas field — estimated to have a potential worth […]

"... the advocates of a social media ban for kids under 16 appear willing to ignore the privacy implications that the proposal would have *for everyone*. For a glimpse into the void, check out the United Kingdom’s Offcom advice page on the subject, which cheerily makes a case for wholesale […]

"As the influential Diplomat website reports, Japan’s defence budget for fiscal year 2025 stated that the basic construction cost per improved Mogami-class vessel was 105 billion yen, or $NZ 1.194 billion. That basic unit cost to us may well be higher, since we will be paying either Mitsubishi […]

About a week ago, #GordonCampbell threw cold water on the prospect of regime change in 2026;
"National can win with Luxon regardless. This country hasn’t had a genuine one term government since the Labour government of 1957-1960. (If Norman Kirk hadn’t died, his government would probably have […]

"14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves.
This is political policing. This is a carnival of […]

Another excellent column by Gordon Campbell, from a couple of weeks ago, on the crusade against social media use by under-16s.
Campbell looks beyond the obvious privacy risks created by enforcing age limits, to the corporate conservative roots of the policy's Australian variant (particularly […]

"But hold on. If the new normal is chaos, the old normal wasn’t that great, either. We have had over 30 years of economic policies that have – deliberately, as a point of policy principle – sacrificed secure well-paying jobs and replaced them with low paying insecure ones, relentlessly […]

#GordonCampbell supports the #FarRight, #BCConservative party lead by #Rustad.
#BCLiberals were always #Conservatives disguised as #Liberals.
A vote for #Carney is not a vote for the defunct #BCLiberals.

"... that old tagline with polls 'if an election were held tomorrow' is deeply misleading. Election campaigns create a different lens. Aussies liked Dutton last year when he was savaging a government they didn’t like very much – but they don’t like Dutton much this year, once he seemed seriously […]

"US customers will have to pay more for the essentials, and foreign suppliers will seek other markets elsewhere. Sourcing these goods and services at home will be very costly – there’s a reason why they were outsourced in the first place – and will take decades."

"This Commerce Commission report looks like being something of a landmark in New Zealand’s ability to monitor and regulate its monopoly/duopoly/cartel forms of market power. These concentrations of market power are pervasive in almost every sector of the New Zealand economy."

Every time some Useful Idiot tries to tell you that the NatACTs are better managers of public money, remind them that;

"Cynically in mid 2024, the government also gave GPs the green-light to make up the government’s shortfall in capitation funding by hiking up the fees that GPs can charge their patients, by up to 7.76%.
That’s right. GPs practices under financial pressure were being told to extract higher […]
