Bill Bennett: Another Pacific cable for NZ by 2026

An Auckland link will be added to the trans-Pacific submarine cable being built by Vocus and Google. Spark uses MBNZ technology to highlight fixed wireless performance. 2degrees appears to be winning mobile market share.

Suze Wilson - The Conversation: Luxon’s Leadership Test; What Would It Take To Win Back Unimpressed NZ Voters?

Based on those poll numbers, the National-led coalition would be out of office if an election were held now. And Luxon’s “preferred prime minister” rating fell further to 23%.

Gordon Campbell: On The Coalition’s Awful, Not Good, Very Bad Poll Results

Luxon has been doing his best to portray the centre-right’s plummeting poll numbers as a mark of virtue. Allegedly, the negative verdicts are the result of hard economic times, and of a government bravely set out on a perilous rescue mission from which not all of its MPs will be coming back alive.

Ian Powell: Policy Vacuum Enables For-profit Corporate General Practice Ownership By Stealth
