Three men have to tell NZ Greens co-leader what a woman is, because she doesn’t know. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s not often that Green co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick gives me much to smile about. My eyes are usually what get the most action whenever she opens her mouth, rolling up into my head. This time, however, she got the trifecta of a wry smile, eyeball roll, and shake of the head.New Zealand’s Parliament rose on 23 September for the MPs to begin campaigning for the upcoming election on 7 November. From here on in, the government is basically just a caretaker government, until a new one – which, finger
Rural Women New Zealand are asked to define a woman, and refuse - by Emmy Maxwell. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today I sit here at home on the farm, and my mood matches the gloomy, wet spring weather outside. I feel really, really sad. Close to tears, actually. Not just for myself, but for my daughter and for other women.Why does a women’s organisation feel the need to give away our right to come together as women?

Read excerpt
In another life, I would have considered going to a Family First conference in the same way I’d consider doing a Robyn Davidson trek across the Australian desert with four camels and a dog. In fact, there would have been more chance of me doing the latter, because at least crossing the Australian desert appealed to some attributes I wouldn’t mind having a few of.How times – and we – change. The Australian desert remains untouched by my presence, but on 11 and 12 September, I was present at <a hr
An interview between a wily ol’ fox and a wokester (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like many festivals worldwide, the WORD Festival in Christchurch has swerved Left and mainly travels down highway Woke now. WORD is a literary festival about books and storytelling, although the ‘About’ section uses a hundred or so more words than that to say it. However, it still has the odd promising guest on its programme, whom we tentatively hope won’t Woke-Left lullaby us to sleep. Such a guest on the Saturday morning of 5th September was crusty ol’ journo Barry Soper.Barry has spent five d
