Bah Humbug from the Coalition again

2025/12/12

Come on people - why aren’t you celebrating the mazing 2% increase in minimum wage our lords and masters have deigned as fair and what you’re worth?

Quote of the Year Time

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/12/11

The greatest tragedy of the Massey University Quote of the Year is that the clear winner one year wasn’t eligible because the quote was made while voting was on for the quote of the year! But that doesn’t mean it’s not a fascinating insight into how poorly a lot of the actions and words of the coalition seem to last.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to

2025/12/09

I’m sure for people who believe with all their heart that the right is better with finances and government should be run like a failing business, that the next couple of months will be really tough - as their Finance Minister and their favourite Astroturf go head to head.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to support what I do with a donation, you can do that

RMA Reform is Back, back, back again

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/12/08

Two Acts to replace the RMA are due to be announced on Tuesday - Labour also had two Acts to replace it that got repealed under urgency with no consultation, no impact reports and no cost benefit analysis and that Bill considered climate change and the fights of Iwi and Hapu - so what will the RMA 2.0 from the Coalition who lies about Ikea’s Cultural awareness to win votes, look like?

The Choice Ahead...

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/12/06

Next year is massive - there’s an election and the fate of our country’s future could be decided by the uncle you don’t invite to Christmas who thinks Hosking is fair and balanced and breaks into a noticeable twitch when you mention Jacinda Ardern’s name. So let’s brainstorm - what tools do you need to help make sure that’s what the election is decided on!Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree -

The Forced Inoculation Model of Coalition Communications

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/12/03

It works like a vaccine for your brain when it comes to media - putting a suggestion with a false narrative to inoculate you from a harsher reality they don’t want you to see - and all three coalition partners are masters of the technique known as weaponised inoculation.

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/12/01

It’s a frustrating part of everyday modern life, but in the hands of the wrong people, a simple paywall can shape how the public thinks, tell them how to feel and drive them down the path to more extreme views and outlooks.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to support what I do with a donation, you can do that through this link -

The Big Issues With the New Local Govt Reform Proposal

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/11/25

The Coalition has finally decided to start the ball on Local Government Reform - but it’s a bit of a mess, hidden at the ass end of the year when they expect low engagement and gaining a lot of criticism for how rushed it and ill thought out it seems, and how it could undermine democracy.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to support what I do with a

The MSM Washing Bias Content for Us All To See

The "Paul... The Other One" Podcasts. ·

2025/11/24

Like Money Laundering, Narrative Washing takes something clearly bias and uses mainstream media to legitimise it and present it as unbias to a wider public - and here in Aotearoa New Zealand it happens a lot, and its used mostly by the multitude of think tanks we have promoting the Coalition parties.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to support what I do

Experts in trans health care are decrying this week’s announcement to stop new patients accessing puberty blockers as part of their health care needs based on a highly questioned single report, a rage baited audience of nasty malcontents, timing that seems purposeful in its calculations and an imaginary war being waged by a party that is revelling in its cruelty.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree -

IPSOS don’t ask voters who they’d vote for, but do ask them what concerns they have - and who is the best to deal with them - and it does not paint a pretty picture for how the public see the Coalition and it’s ability to deal with the actual issues important to them.Anyway… why not check out my other content - join the 45’000 other accounts following me across platforms by visiting my Linktree - https://linktr.ee/paul_barlownzAnd if you want to support what I do with a donation, you can do that

A year ago, the Prime Minister stood in front of abuse survivors and apologised for generations of harm and neglect under successive governments and promised that they would try harder to ensure it never happened again - while setting up some of the exact same mechanisms and some all new ones, that are shown to lead to the sort of abuse these people suffered.Vote for Paul… The Other One at the NZ Podcast Awards - https://www.nzpodcastawards.com/nominateAnyway… why not check out my other content -
