While in opposition, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins campaigned against the growing use of costly consultants and criticised National’s overuse of such contractors. This policy is therefore a significant increase in the welfare state, and it is not a replacement for any other current childcare policy, but goes on top of current programmes. The other big question is whether the childcare policy will result in higher prices and bigger profits for childcare providers. The problem for Labour is that they are increasingly associated with what political scientists call society’s “professional management class” – which is epitomised by the highly-paid business consultants in the bureaucracy.

Because of the sheer scale of the damage and the subsequent recovery work Watercare's board has asked for a monthly update on progress. Photo: Stuff / Abigail Dougherty via LDRThe Pukekohe water treatment plant was flooded on Auckland Anniversary Weekend and has been unable to operate since. Slips in Scenic Drive saw 3000 homes lose their water and Watercare's Rosedale wastewater treatment plant and Wairau pump station were also flooded. And according to Watercare, its Huia water treatment plant has been running at reduced capacity because the water entering the plant from the dams has high turbidity (dirtiness) which makes it harder to treat.

EightyOne X and DHL Express NZ have teamed up to bring DHL Super Rugby Pacific to life, with an innovative approach to tracking key moments in matches. DHL’s brief was simple; come up with a new way to activate their DHL Super Rugby Pacific partnership, by linking DHL’s world class delivery service to the game of rugby.

With 60% of our newsrooms now female, the lens of woke identity seems to be all that matters. Today’s latest example however takes that lens of woke identity and has instead manufactured our first ‘Purity of Identity’ journalism. I’ve argued and have used example after example of how the woke newsrooms covered Carmel Sepuloni’s rise as Deputy. Which is deeply problematic because a critical analysis of Carmel Sepuloni’s time as Social Welfare Minister highlights how shallow The Spinoff, Stuff and NZ Heralds ‘journalism’ is. What better way to undermine a new welfare Minister than busting their mum for fraud?

By Chris Trotter*Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury* called it Christopher Luxon’s “least worst speech”. Finally, to ensure a spot near the top of the evening news bulletins, Luxon’s speech contained a generous child-care subsidy for middle and low income earners. Not for nothing was the populist Muldoon referred to as “the best leader Labour never had”. Vague and uninspiring though Luxon’s State of the Nation speech may be, it did announce one solid and politically astute policy initiative. This Election Year, New Zealand desperately needs, and deserves, so much more than the “least worst” option.
