I reckon Bob Carr might be wasting his time and money sueing Winston Peters for defamation. If he was hoping that he would scare Winston into silence... he hasn't. Winston just hit twitter today and doubled-down. Calling Bob Carr a shill. A shill is someone who is a bit of a hustler... who tries to convince other people to think something is great. Suggesting he’s either shilling for the NZ Labour party who invited him... Or shilling for China. Like in many examples of defamation cases... it

The Government's about to go toe-to-toe with Canada again, over a trade dispute. Canada's refusing to comply in full with a ruling in our favour over dairy trade. New Zealand initiated the dispute in 2022, saying Canada's blocking dairy exporters’ access to its market, breached CPTPP rules. ACT Trade Spokesperson Parmjeet Parmar says Canada's refusal to comply is 'disappointing' and 'disrespectful.' LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour's Foreign Affairs spokesperson says critical comments from Winston Peters are distracting from real issues. Peters criticised former Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr in an interview - over his stance on the AUKUS pact. Carr's called those comments defamatory. Labour's David Parker says the comments are being used to obfuscate the Government shift on AUKUS.

There's optimism out of the provincial unions that they'll get what they want when New Zealand Rugby's governance saga likely comes to a head later this month.A Special General Meeting on May 30 will vote on a fully independent model backed by the national body - or another backed by the unions.

An education union says there's more than one way to teach the basics in schools. The Government's committing $67 million in the Budget to roll-out structured literacy in state schools from 2025. It uses phonics to decode words - and teaches spelling skills and components like vocabulary, comprehension and writing. Educational Institute President Mark Potter says such methods are essential, but there are many. "Good, capable readers like yourself and myself - we use a variety of strategies. Phonics

The Education Minister says teachers' stances on structured literacy are changing. The Government is putting $67 million from the Budget into bringing the learning method into state schools by the first term of 2025. The primary teachers' union, NZEI, says mandating a one-size-fits all approach does not work, and teachers know what is best for learners.

The Greens have launched a disciplinary process, but I'm not expecting much from that, given how relaxed they seem to have been in the past about dealing with allegations against their MPs.
