I’m staggered. Having constantly read that Chris Luxon is a dullard, for the first time ever I actually heard him speak when he popped up on the Stuff site.
The speech he delivered to a Lower Hutt audience was entirely off the cuff and was as good as I’ve ever heard from any post-war New Zealand politician.

Trump is an appalling abomination but he’s still entitled to the same rights as everyone else. The proposed Stormy Daniels prosecution has not so far eventuated suggesting the prosecutors are possibly having second thoughts, perhaps motivated by the world-wide criticism they’ve copped from commentators. But here’s what baffles me.

AUT History professor Paul Moon is by general university standards, a freak. I say that as he’s extraordinarily industrious, not a characteristic common among academics.
With 36 books on aspects of New Zealand history already under his belt he is unquestionably our foremost historian, once a mantle held by the late Michael King. He shares a highly desirable characteristic with Michael in that King wrote our history in a highly readable fashion for the general public to savour.
