‘LUXON AT THE HELM: WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR, AND WHAT TO EXPECT’
The National-led government has just delivered its 100-day plan. Don't miss Max Rashbrooke's analysis of their performance to date...
Much of the 100-day plan is designed to undo Labour's legacy. The government is now starting to shape its own vision of New Zealand. What will that look like - and in particular, what will it mean for economic inequality and poverty?
Max Rashbrooke is Senior Research Fellow at Victoria University's School of Government, a writer and commentator with twin interests in economic inequality and democratic renewal. His latest book is 'Too Much Money: How Wealth Disparities are Unbalancing Aotearoa New Zealand'. He's also well-known for his regular columns, public lectures and media interviews, and for his TED talk on upgrading democracy, which has had 1.5m views.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
