The Treaty Principles Bill gets debated this week, and then off it goes to the committee that will hear a lot of fear mongering and whinging about how it is the end of the world. After that it will come back to Parliament, a vote will be had, it won't get the numbers, and it will be dead. This is unusual as Governments normally put bills in they know they are going to pass. Here is why it ties into Trump's victory last week: Trump won because he is the repository for grievance. If you don’t like the

A new approach to land zoning could be the answer to the housing crisis. New Zealand’s housing crisis is locking families out of home ownership, but what would happen if local streets and neighbourhoods were the ones to decide what can be built and where?

Nissan are laying off thousands of workers, Toyota says the California regulations are unworkable, Trump has arrived, tariffs are an issue and he is anti-EV, and in Britain they are discounting EVs by a third because of rules that make manufacturers sell a certain number of EVs, and if you don’t sell that many you are fined.
