Russell Brown's Hard News
I know I'm not the only one not planning to vote on the basis of direct self-interest in September, but it sometimes
seems that way. Labour's student loans king-hit certainly had a flurry of current and former students urgently totting
up what was in it for them (I understand the...

Keith Ng on the election trail
I have to hand it to Bill English - it took some balls to come and speak at Victoria University today. The student crowd
is generally unpleasant for right-wing MPs, but for a right-wing MP trying to convince them that no interest on their
student loan is a bad idea,...

Graham Reid's many things
In a move described by political commentators as either tactically brilliant or political suicide the prime minister
this week announced a new approach from Labour in the forthcoming election. Stung by surveys which showed public
resentment over controversies which had been skirted over lightly or simply ignored, the prime minister...
PUBLIC ADDRESS 27/07/05 - Great Bundles

Che Tibby's view from Wellington
God. It's like money porn. Two parties throwing money up in the air and rolling around in it, and it all seems very
familar. But I think the big difference between standing under this money tree and standing under the Australian money
tree is that here, I'm included...

Damian Christie - Cracker With Attitude
Finally we know the election date. And it's the same one we knew all along. Ho-hum. At least now the media can stop
rocking itself to sleep muttering "September seventeenth… definitely definitely September seventeenth…"...

David Slack on his own account
This must be a rough time to be a celebrity in Auckland. Eight weeks of dreary election campaign ahead of you and all
your supplies of heinous chemicals have dried up. And what about you gentle reader? Are you looking forward to the
election, or would you like to enjoy...

Living the invasion with Tze Ming Mok
Hip-hop doesn't need to be validated by mainstream recognition or high-culture accolades. But... in your face rhythmless
right-wing tax-cutters! Hip Hop Music in Aotearoa just won a Montana: IN - YOUR - FACE! ...

Graham Reid's many things
The date for the election came as no surprise to a Sydney-based stylist and his partner. Sergio Turner and partner David
Jackson said yesterday that when they were engaged to do a make-over on the prime minister for her interview in the
Australian Women's Weekly a month or so ago...

Keith Ng on the election trail
I'm not nearly as excited as I thought I'd be. It's kinda like declaring the start of WWII after the panzerkrieg was on
the wrong side of Poland. Still, I'm looking forward to having policy to look at...
