Whether he’s overpromising on what his companies can accomplish or twisting the facts about his own children, it’s clear he doesn’t feel constrained by reality, which is no doubt what made him into the mogul of misinformation he is today. Almost two years after Musk completed his $44 billion takeover of Twitter (now X), he and the platform — where he reigns not just as owner but the most-followed user — have become essential to the life cycle of incendiary falsehoods and conspiracy theories. While mainstream social media companies have long tried to prevent such content from gaining traction, leaving...

I t’s the in-between year. MPs had 2024 to settle into their new roles, while in 2025, some drama and great change are expected in the political arena. Here is what to look out for in the year ahead. . . January 7: Written submissions close for the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill. This bill sparked the biggest protest Parliament has seen in decades, if not ever, in 2024 - with the HΔ«koi mō Te Tiriti. Since then, there have been major campaigns from groups both supporting and opposing the Treaty Principles Bill, holding “submissions workshops” and encouraging the public to write in to Parliament’s Justice Select Committee. It will be interesting to see how successful those campaigns have been, from the likes of ToitΕ« Te Tiriti and Te Pāti Māori as well as the ACT Party and Hobso...

T his is a significant fall. Most commentators identify three key liabilities for National. Its leader, Christopher Luxon, has poor communication skills and poor judgement, the economy appears to be deteriorating under his watch, and the public does not trust the Government to manage the public health system. National has had a busy year. They’ve delivered on many of their campaign promises, including rolling back most of the Labour Government's policies, cutting taxes and increasing transfer payments, laying off publi...
