Q + A Sunday December 10

Q + A Sunday December 10

This Sunday viewers can look forward to a revealing insight into how the country feels about the new political landscape with the first 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton Poll coming out since the Labour-led coalition came to power. Which political party will get an early Christmas present?

“No doubt it will be another fascinating result – and boy we’ve had some of those this year - given the wild ride politics has been in 2017,” says political Editor Corin Dann.

The poll of 1000 eligible voters ushers in a new era for the 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton Poll as it will no longer solely focus on people with landlines.

Now conducted with a 50/50 split of landlines and mobile phones, the change reflects the transformation in New Zealanders communication habits.

It gives a more representative sample of New Zealanders by age and ethnicity, says Dann. “News media have a responsibility to present accurate polls and ensure the methods used are as good as they can possibly be. It’s with that sense of responsibility - as well as a look to the future - that 1 NEWS and Colmar Brunton have decided it is time to change.

“I have no doubt that like its predecessor, the new 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton Poll will quickly establish itself as the gold standard for political polling in this country,” he says.

Gordon Campbell: On The US Opposition To Mortgage Interest Deductibility For Landlords


Should landlords be able to deduct the interest on the loans they take out to bankroll their property speculation? The US Senate Budget Committee and Bloomberg News don't think this is a good idea, for reasons set out below. Regardless, our coalition government has been burning through a ton of political capital by giving landlords a huge $2.9 billion tax break via interest deductibility, while still preaching the need for austerity to the disabled, and to everyone else...
