    What's in a name? Te reo Māori revival depends on inviting everyone in (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In June, the Aroha brand falsely responded to a comment saying it was Māori-owned. Once upon a time there was an activewear company. It was based in Australia and owned by an expatriate New Zealander named Katie Bourke. She wanted a name that was unique rather than Australian, and settled on “Aroha” because it carried a message of love and compassion. The reaction was anything but love and compassion. A Māori content creator from Ōpōtiki accused Bourke of “cultural appropriation,” declaring – in

    David Harvey: It’s time to have an adult conversation about nuclear power (opens the original)

    David Harvey: "Counted by deaths per terawatt-hour, nuclear is hundreds of times safer than coal". Photo / Getty Images At Shangri-La, Asia’s premier defence summit in Singapore in May, our then-defence minister Chris Penk made a narrow and reasonable suggestion: that we distinguish nuclear propulsion from nuclear weapons when we think about our nuclear-free stance. This wasn’t kite-flying. Under Aukus, Australia — our only formal ally — will operate nuclear-propelled submarines, which current l

It survives only if New Zealanders exercise it. Few metaphors are as pointed as the scene that unfolded one winter evening in July 2024, in a newsroom on Auckland’s North Shore. After 35 years of bulletins, the lights went out at Newshub. There was no censor’s order pinned to the door; the money had simply run out. Wit

    David Harvey: Changes to copyright law threatens to restrict access (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A TPM is a proposed new form of digital rights management applied to control access to a work and prevent unauthorised copying. Photo / Getty Images Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Cameron Brewer has signalled changes to the Copyright Act 1993. The first – extending the term of copyright – is unremarkable; terms have lengthened repeatedly before. The second is the one that matters: a reworking of how the law treats technological protection measures (TPMs). It threatens to narrow legiti

    Two votes, one blind spot: Why MMP demands more scrutiny (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Footrot Flats' Wal played a key part in the educational process as New Zealanders cast their first vote under MMP in 1996. Every three years New Zealanders troop to the polling booths, mark their papers, and go home glowing with civic virtue. Almost none of them stop to ask the only question that matters: what, precisely, did that vote just do? Because let us be honest about what elections have become. They are popularity contests. The leaders’ debates are scored like boxing matches. The pollste
