The vibe was chaotic. Luxon himself was confrontational, at one stage challenging a reporter to name the disgruntled MPs in his caucus. If Luxon wanted to project confidence, it’s hard to imagine a less convincing performance.

What’s going on here? We’re in the middle of an emergency which could be improved by pursuing more sustainable policies, we’ve had multiple weather events recently, yet support for the Green party is sharply down in the last couple of polls.

What I’ve noticed in several science redundancy rounds is that the ones that don’t lose their jobs nevertheless feel insecure and many find safer employment elsewhere. This government is shooting New Zealand in the brain.

One thing you learn about Murdoch in that Netflix doco is how good he is at 'turning a blind eye' to things. Having a rapist in charge of his TV network; illegal phone-hacking that even the building's cleaner knew about. Completely unaware. And yet we constantly hear how he's 'across everything'.
