Uncompromising left-wing columnist and Chairman of the Workers Solidarity Party of Aotearoa, Bob Mittsky, returns with a new column. Comrades! I sensed yesterday that something was up, but it’s even worse that I feared. The military apparatus of our fascist state have been in full mobilisation this morning.

When I read Shayne Philpott’s rugby story in the news the other day it brought a lot of things back to me. Things I thought I had put behind me. It also brought back a few tears. Some things are just so painful they never really left you. Philpott was a handy utility back in…
There were renewed calls today for Labour Party leader Phil Goff to step down, after another disastrous day for the party.
