Luxon, Brownlee and Brown should be ashamed their actions led to Maiki Sherman walking the plank. My take on the deeper media freedom concerns behind this story: https://t.co/rzPbEy5LSn

Christopher Luxon���s claim to be CEO said it all. He doesn’t understand his role and is not cut out to be PM. I sent this column to my subscribers last night, explaining why this is such a problem. Waking to read @coughlthom @nzhpolitics article this morning suggesting pressure will go on Luxon to step down in the next fortnight makes my analysis ever so timely.

Labour should win in 2026. But should it?
In my latest column I ask the question that Labour's strategists would rather not sit with: would it actually be a disaster if Labour did not win the party vote in 2026?

This Gemini generated image sums up National’s election year problem. One partner is getting drenched by a leaky tent while the other is happily making more holes so the rain can get in. How much are National’s election chances are of its own making; how much is internal sabotage; and what should Christopher Luxon do about it?

From Rhythm to Chaos: 21 polls since September suggest this will be the first one-term National-led government in the party's 90-year history. National has never led for less than three terms, ever. For a party that was once thought to be the ‘natural party’ of government, this will be a humiliating prospect. What’s to blame? The answer might surprise. Check out my latest column and analysis:

@winstonpeters Please clarify which ‘swim lane’ this post is made from. Is this the official position of the New Zealand government? Have you received MFAT and Ministry of Health advice before posting? Is this a NZFirst policy or is this a Winston Peters view?

@carlworker That’s sad to hear about Fred. I met him a couple of times with Richard in Beijing. A lovely, clever, funny man, and a phenomenal business brain!

What happens to the economy when governments become overly reliant on consultants? @RosieCollingto and I investigate in my new book debunking the myth that consultancies always add value to the economy.
