I made the mistake of listening to #RNZ Midday Report today.
The first story was David Seymour saying he was determined to end the allocation of spaces at #NZ Medical Schools for Māori and Polynesian medical students as these, according to Seymour, were giving an advantage to students due to their race. He managed to get a study done into the practice of increasing the number of Māori and Polynesian doctors to serve their communities under the coalition agreement but didn’t agree with its findings which support the practice.
He disagreed that a similar approach to offering places at medical school for rural students was the same thing as apparently it is not based on ethnicity.
The next story was David Seymour supporting MDMA treatment for victims of PTSD. I have no idea what the story after that was as I had switched off my radio by then. #NZPol

Another grilling for Quilae Wong and the Opportunity, this time from Mihingarangi Forbes;
A good interview for those who question whether Opportunity can really be described as "progressive".

@RNZonline Ihr wisst schon warum der Eindruck entsteht das Ihr auch abseits der oft als Grund vorgeschobenen Netiquette zensiert?

"Unemployment is at its highest level in more than a decade, but one expert offers a silver lining, saying that could actually be a sign of early economic growth."
#TheDetail, Feb 2026
That's some impressively wishful thinking right there!
This "one expert" isn't named, but a tag on this post says "Robert Walters". I'm guessing the one who runs one of many casual labour exploitation companies in Aotearoa;

"... the Department of Corrections had posted a procurement notice on the website of GETS, the Government Electronic Tenders Service. Which is often scanned by journalists looking for stories about budget government spending."

Not really a secret. So Mitchell not knowing about it is just more evidence that he's not paying attention to what's happening in his portfolio. The kneejerk response is typical though.

Radio New Zealand Features the November DXpedition to Fakaofo

Today on #RNZ the announcer mentioned that they had used #AI to get some details for their #MorningReport segment. And they admitted an error in reporting as the AI was wrong (shock and surprise).
My confidence in RNZ has just plunged.
Why is anyone trusting the enslopification regurgitations?

Just listened to the #RNZ political panel this week hosted by the far more neutral Suzie Ferguson with commentators Phil Goff and Liam Hehir.
I disagree with the attempts by National Party member Liam Hehir to defend Luxon’s inaction on Winston Peters which is, in my opinion, a huge mistake.
NZ already knows Luxon’s not a leader but had Luxon done what the majority of the country is demanding and that is sack Winston Peters as foreign minister he would have substantially improved National’s chances in the upcoming election and maybe more so had Winston forced a snap election.
I was also interested in Phil Goff’s response to a recent poll of only 400 people that suggests Chloe Swarbrick is at risk of losing Auckland Central to National and his idea that this ridiculously small poll will only give Chloe the opportunity to suggest Ak Central Labour voters give her their electoral vote while still giving Labour their party vote.

I hopped into my car this evening and heard Wallace Chapman say if the Greens focused on saving trees I’d vote for them but with all this other stuff I’m not going anywhere near them.
I wondered if making that statement on air was a breach of the #RNZ charter.
I am considering making a complaint.
-
Thanks Phil, I shall send them my own feedback and criticism of their failure to uphold the #RNZ Charter particularly in regard to informing the public of the established causes of extreme weather events that are reeking extreme damage across Aotearoa NZ.

@rnzbot_political What a strange half-article to be headlining the #RNZ website, since it summarises ACT’s new policy without giving any historical context or conservationists’ views.
I accept that game animals like deer are a valued resource in NZ and there need to be places to hunt them. Still, that cannot be the whole country. There are plenty of well documented and often massive impacts that deer, goats, tahr, and chamois have on the native species they eat, and many of these species are threatened and declining.
ACT is proposing that the government funds that are currently used by the Department of Conservation to manage games animals while protecting biodiversity all be given to the Game Animal Council for managing game animals nationally.
I’m reminded of comedian Guy Williams’ New Zealand Today piece about tahr management. Tahr numbers ballooned under hunter-led management from the target national herd size of 10,000 to more than three times that. The Department of Conservation (in the previous government) had to step in and started culling tahr to bring their numbers back down, yet there was then an outcry from hunters.
Most of NZ’s conservation land needs to be managed primarily for conservation. It makes sense to do that in collaboration with the Game Animal Council, as is done now. ACT’s policy to flip this around sounds like a recipe for extinctions.

"I have spent 15 years working in the business sector, in sustainability primarily, so I... have seen the opportunity for business as a force for good. If we can harness the best of innovation, and great ideas, and competition, to solve some of the world's biggest social and environmental problems, that's a really exciting place to be."

"Coalition partners warn voters off The Opportunity Party" - according to #RNZ. No surprise to me: #TOP has enough in common with #Labour and #Green to support them with a potential "confidence and supply agreement" (while agreeing to disagree on some policies - the sort of arrangement #NZ had a while ago) if it cracks the 5% #votes barrier leaving the #CoC well under 50%.
-
...and sure enough, in the MediaWatch interview with Brent Impey, he continues the burbling of Business Idiot talking points;
"Look, I think it's irrelevant that programs are coming from anywhere, you could broadcast from home, all over."
I just can't hear this kind of asinine nonsense the same way after reading Ed's article. Of course it's relevant.

I'm still catching up on MediaWatch as I struggle back to some level of functioning. Today's listen is the June 28 edition, which covers lobbyist Matthew Hooten becoming editor of the capital's daily paper, and the departing editor becoming a lobbyist for Business NZ.

Mihi Forbes presents another timely episode of the very well produced #RNZ series #NZ Wars Stories.
This time Waerenga-a-Hika (Gisborne) recounting the historic #NZPol attack on the #indigenous #Maori November 1865 at Waerenga-a-Hika pā which served as a refuge for hundreds of Māori, many of whom were women and children adhering to the Pai Mārire faith.
I believe this history being understood is critical in navigating a path forward for all people of #Aotearoa #NewZealand.

@AndrewRiddell1 this post prompted me to listen to the latest RNZ headlines. 2nd story was about a study of the effects of flooding in NZ under different emissions scenarios. They didn't mention climate change, carbon, carbon dioxide even though that's precisely what the study was about. Weird.

Keep unemployment & housing costs high, while keeping benefits low therefore more emergency housing needed... But you said you'd reduce emergency housing so you let homelessness go up... But people get upset so you tell police to just "Move them along" all day... But then...

Really? It's news to me that The Democracy Project is a rebranding of the Integrity Institute. I thought the latter was a newer initiative. Can anyone confirm?

"There are recurring themes, the most dominant of these is probably reining in the overuse of Parliamentary Urgency, including skipping or curtailing the Select Committees process.
Ideas to curb urgency include automatic expiry dates for laws passed without full process, governments needing to convince the Speaker that urgency is necessary, and select committees undertaking post-hoc reviews of laws that bypass them."

Hintergrund | RNZ: "Tax me now" - Heidelberger Millionär Peter Reese will endlich "mehr Steuern zahlen"
Peter Reese ist durch den Verkauf von Verivox reich geworden. Nun hat er sich der Bewegung "Tax Me Now" angeschlossen, die mehr Abgaben für Vermögende fordert.
Peter Reese (51) profitierte als Verivox-Gründungsmitarbeiter vom millionenschweren Verkauf des Heidelberger Vergleichsportals an die TV-Sendergruppe ProSiebenSat.1. 2013 gründete er mit befreundeten Verivox-Ex-Kollegen die Digitalagentur E5 media GmbH in Heidelberg. Die Steuern, die Reese seither zahlen muss, empfindet er als "absurd niedrig". Er schloss sich daher der Gruppe "Tax Me Now" an, die kürzlich gemeinsam mit anderen Organisationen in einem offenen Brief einen Appell an die Regierungen richtete: "Besteuert uns, die Reichen, und zwar jetzt". Bislang haben sich 53 Millionärinnen und Millionäre "Tax Me Now" angeschlossen, unter anderen die BASF-Erbin Marlene Engelhorn... (weiter)
