If you think the violence action plan announced by the Government yesterday has no relevance to your life - think again. It’s one of many plans that are part of this overall 25-year strategy to eliminate family violence and sexual violence. The big strategy was launched in 2021, which means it’s got about 22 years to run. It’s got a big price tag t…

AUKUS doesn't only affect us. From the time that it was announced there were mixed reactions from our neighbours - some who wanted in, and some who thought it unwise and provocative. A big part of the fear - both regionally and within Australia - concerns the nuclear question. As the first non-nuclear country to ever acquire a nuclear weapon, can w…

Former Prime Minister Paul Keating has said of AUKUS that "we don't need to be a pair of shoes hanging out of America's backside".

When Finance Minister Nicola Willis said “I have delivered” yesterday —after announcing the Government’s so-called plan for the Cook Strait ferries— what she really meant was: “I’ve had a gutsful of this lot fighting over it and I’m out.” She was throwing her arms in the air because she’s had enough of NZ First and ACT squabbling over what should h…

I have never had a problem with greyhound racing so you’re not going to hear me singing the Government’s praises for banning the sport. But I am scratching my head.

John MacDonald: On why the government should be hitting the brakes on controversial bootcamps
5:02
The minute the defence force said it didn’t want a bar of the new youth boot camps, the Government should have put the brakes on then and there. It didn’t, though, because it had talked a tough game before the election and like hell it was going to back away from that promise now. But it should have. So, let’s give the Government another chance and…

Today on Politics Friday, National’s Matt Doocey and Labour’s Megan Woods joined John MacDonald to dig into this week’s political news.

Let me paint you a picture. A picture of over-the-top traffic management.

You get to that intersection and the lights are red. So you stop,…

There is no way I would pay $8 to ride a bus, but we’re being warned today that that’s what we could end up paying in just three years.

If there’s one city council facility in Christchurch that never seems to have a bad word said about it, it’s the He Puna Taimoana hot pools at New Brighton.

I reckon former Labour Party leader David Cunliffe might have just done the best sell job on a capital gains tax that any politician in New Zealand —or anyone for that matter— has ever managed to do.
