“The likes of The Platform and Reality Check Radio are poised to fill the gap left by ad-funded media's demise; they're amply bankrolled by dilettante millionaires, mystery money, and easily-fleeced cookers, and they can scale quickly.” So much this.

When the PM is staying in his Wellington apartment, where do the DPS officers stay? What about electronic security and all the stuff that’s already set up at Premiere House? Are there extra costs because of that? What’s the bet the $52K is the small part of the whole thing?

In the Luxon accommodation supplement story, it’s worth remembering that he makes 4-5 million in capital appreciation *every year* on his property portfolio, including that Wellington apartment.

So we have a Minister accused of presenting tobacco industry talking points as policy, but she says she didn’t write them and won’t say who gave them to her. Then she blocks OIA attempts to find out. Meanwhile the smoke-free law gets repealed under urgency. How is this democracy?

Sometimes the fossil fuel industry works through the Atlas Network to get what they want, and sometimes they just go balls-out in plain view. This one is the latter. It’s amazing to think this is legal.

Claiming a mercenary is paid to kill is about as outrageous as saying a teacher is paid to teach. Mitchell played on his overseas experience to become elected, so why shouldn’t his experience be open to examination?

Exactly. As much as water storage promoters like to blame red tape, the biggest killer of these projects is economics. Investors need a decent return, while users want low cost water. So you need to find around $200m to build plus 10% p/a to maintain. It just doesn’t work without subsidy somewhere.
