John MacDonald: Boris Johnson fronted-up to a Covid inquiry - Chris Hipkins should too 4:39

19h ago4:39

4:39

Labour leader and former Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins thinks phase two of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Covid-19 response is a platform for conspiracy theorists, and he is non-committal about turning-up to give evidence. The most committed I’ve heard him so far is saying that he’s working on some written responses. But if that turns o…

19h ago10:11

10:11

John MacDonald: Why do families earning $200K-plus need govt. support? 4:45

2d ago4:45

4:45

Isn’t it funny how the Government likes to talk about government support needing to be based on need, but seems to forget about all that when it comes to those nice middle-class people. Of which I am one. I’m not claiming to be nice, but I am what you would call middle-class. Which makes me fully qualified to ask why a family bringing in $229,000 a…

John MacDonald: Detaining young shoplifters is a dangerous idea 5:26

3d ago5:26

5:26

The Government wants to free-up the laws relating to citizens' arrests. But should this include letting retail staff detain children and young people caught shoplifting? The Chief Children’s Commissioner, Dr Claire Achmad, is saying today that it shouldn’t. And I agree with her. But not for the same reason. She says allowing shop owners and shop st…

John MacDonald: The hardline stance on student loans is backfiring 5:48

6d ago5:48

5:48

I didn’t do any study after I left school —no university, no polytech— so I’ve never had a student loan. I know about debt though, thanks to the mortgage. And I reckon it would be very easy for me, as someone who has never had to pay off a student loan but who knows what it’s like to have the responsibilities of a mortgage, to dismiss what a former…

John MacDonald: Snake oil political promises have just been given a life line 6:21

7d ago6:21

6:21

When there’s an election campaign happening, how much do you care about the cost of the policies the political parties are pushing? Or, more to the point, how willing are you to trust the politicians when they say they've done the numbers, and they all stack up? My willingness to trust them is very low. Which is why I think we will be all the poore…

Questions over Christchurch City Council planning to spend $200 thousand on a shuttle bus study.

John MacDonald: Will police and judges deliver what the Govt wants? 5:38

8d ago5:38

5:38

The Government has obviously decided that its law and order week. It started with tougher sentences for people who attack first responders and prison officers – which is a good thing. Then it was tougher sentences for people who dish out coward punches – that can’t come soon enough. And the latest are these tougher measures to try and do something …

John MacDonald: Ferry privatisation would just be excusing KiwiRail's shortcomings 4:43

9d ago4:43

4:43

I don’t like this idea David Seymour’s pushing of privatising the Interislander ferry service and getting a private operator to run it, instead of KiwiRail. And if I was to sum up why I’m opposed to it as succinctly as I could, it would come down to just two words and one number. State Highway 1. Tell that to the ACT leader and Deputy Prime Ministe…

John MacDonald: Aren't ED assaults just as bad as first responder assaults? 6:43

10d ago6:43

6:43

The Government’s plan for tougher sentences for people who don’t think twice about assaulting first responders and corrections officers is great. But I think there are some other people who should be included. Doctors and nurses. These are the people who, it seems, can be at just as much risk of being attacked. It’s brilliant that the Government ha…

13d ago5:33

5:33

How do you feel about the prospect of paying higher income tax rates and more GST? I think it’s inevitable. So does the Inland Revenue Department. Because of our ageing population. Especially if people think we can have a whole lot more of us 65 and over —which is going to happen— and still provide the same level of assistance and support that is p…

The Infrastructure Commission's draft 30-year plan is the kind of big picture thinking we’ve been saying is needed, instead of the ad-hoc, politically driven approach we have at the moment. Essentially, the Commission says we’re going to need less schools and more hospitals because of the ageing population. It also says we’re going to need more roa…

Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger is in campaign mode for this year’s elections, saying that he thinks the Government might be onto a winner with its idea of forcing councils to put a cap on rates increases.

The US air strikes on Iran yesterday are a disaster. A disaster that New Zealand needs to stay well clear of. Before yesterday, the prospect of it happening was a disaster-in-the making.
