Greens have been the third biggest party in all the polls for a while now -amazing how little they are covered in media compared to the other parties & when they are covered it’s often with an underlying hint of incredulity

Nats clearly had one out-of-context line they are clinging to from that debate & want everyone talking about that - these columns are part of that propaganda machine.

the headline almost makes it sound like the Greens are the ‘bizzare’ ones which is the fav moniker by media & rw for any idea or policy they have ‘crazy’ / ‘weird’ etc actually most Green policy is in my my view eminently sensible & thoughtful almost certainly based off evidence models elsewhere

It was ambitious cos it needed to be to solve a big problem but was also actually pretty sensible & based off evidence & plenty of thought

Money & media choices but mainly money - be nice to have some context in coverage around why some campaigns are more ‘visible’

TPM Debbie allegedly and inaudiably says "cunt" in the house and booted minutes before the 6pm news goes live, makes it into the headlines. LUXON says "cry me a river" in response to a question on rising cost of living earlier in the day, doesn't get reported anywhere. What the actual fuck.

Shouldn’t this be like a headline or something ? 1) Shows he lies constantly when he says his govt is ‘laser focused on cost of living & 2) he is a heartless ahole who only cares about himself & his rich mates

Yea seems like doesn’t matter what the substance of any Greens policy is or whether it’s relatively normal elsewhere people just want to leap about shouting ‘radical’ or ‘communism’ or ‘crazy’ & dismiss it without a second thought

yea is it right to say that Nats have announced billions & billions of dollars worth of roads which don’t pass any cost benefit analysis & haven’t had hardly any scrutiny for how this is going to be paid for

Yea I agree for me those first eps / Hellzapoppin up to Venus Trail I couldn’t imagine a better band anywhere in the universe. The live shows were absolutely immense slabs of hare brained unhinged joy. Such a giddy wild feel - I loved them.

This the best thing I have read recently weareunderused.substack.com/p/labour-is-...
weareunderused.substack.com
Labour is not the problem, capitalism is
Political analysis that fails to grapple with the social and economic conditions in which Labour is forced to operate is unhelpful and misses the point

Oh, so just caught up with the news - new taxes can just disappear by calling them levies. Sweet. That wealth levy of ours should now be supported by everyone. Labour can go bolder with its CGL

but it feels like this is what journalism is now - there are exceptions but seems mainly done by a bunch of people who know nothing with zero perspective & who can’t be bothered stretching to find stuff out if the subject is further way than the end of thier own nose

yes also this particular issue is probably pretty niche & may not be widely understood or cared about Peters just playing to the cookers who gave him a few % don't know if this is really anything which will move the dial very much but anyways I agree our media is sadly vv weak

prob scared of Peters sick of the ad hominem attacks which is his stock & trade when anyone criticises Greens they will usually try to explain in terms of policy/ consequences - Peters just attacks the messenger & gets increasingly threatening

Applies everywhere & definitely in NZ this election year - not confident at all in the overall quality of coverage we are going to get which also results in the unchecked pernicious influence of shady $$ on shaping the narrative.

The health minister and cabinet ignored the recommendation and advice of the Ministry of Health and instead completely banned the option of pubertal suppression for trans kids making NZ one of the few places with zero access to this care.
