The Greens are our third most popular party. Can their consensus-style politics take on ‘the empire’? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Marama Davidson and Chlöe Swarbrick’s co-leadership had a troubled start but six weeks from the election, have they hit their stride? They call each other boss. Green Party co-leaders Marama Davidson and Chlöe Swarbrick met the Listener in a utilitarian room in Swarbrick’s Auckland Central electorate office the day after German right-wing populist party AfD won a plurality of votes in Saxony-Anhalt. A week earlier, One Nation won a landslide victory in a former safe Labour seat in a by-election
Danyl McLauchlan: National’s plan to intervene in the business of supermarkets reflects its desperation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Danyl McLauchlan: National could easily lose this election. It would be the first single-term government in National’s long and storied history. Photo / Getty Images It’s so easy to confuse the map with the territory – especially in politics. Left and right are vague terms. The former is supposed to stand for a larger state, the latter for more markets. So we accept that whatever the parties associated with those labels happen to do is “left-wing” or “right-wing”. But there are supposed to be va
Everyone is talking about Nicky Hager’s book Dirty Work – but is it any good? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nicky Hager's new book, Dirty Work, is described as the last in a trilogy that also includes The Hollow Men and Dirty Politics. Photo / NZME Even in his best books – and The Hollow Men (2006) has a strong claim to be the best book ever written about New Zealand politics – Nicky Hager has a tendency to treat the ordinary, pedestrian work of politics as shocking crimes unique to his subjects. There were some shocking things uncovered in that book but there was also a lot of authorial outrage over
What Upper Hutt tells us about Chris Hipkins’ NZ and how he plans to win this year’s election (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the first in the Listener’s pre-election leader profiles, Labour’s Chris Hipkins explains his vision for NZ, and how we can learn from Upper Hutt’s example. It’s a beautiful room. The office of the opposition leader sits on the top floor of Parliament. It’s spacious and light with white plaster walls, a rimu desk and shelves, the colour of the wood varying from golden orange to deep red-brown. The only defect is the view: the windows face the harbour and they should look out over the grey and
Danyl McLauchlan: ‘I’d always been mystified by Paul Henry’s appeal. Then I saw him on stage' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Danyl McLauchlan: "It’s easy to imagine ways in which Paul Henry’s political career fails, but there’s a plausible timeline in which it succeeds. Wildly. Photo / NZME When you see it in the room it all makes sense. It’s Friday night in Lower Hutt and the Lower Hutt event centre is close to full. The crowd - two, three hundred? - are here for Paul Henry Unlocked, the celebrity broadcaster’s national tour campaigning for the Act party. If you’ve always been mystified by Henry’s career and the inte
