Political diaries project ended with 2023 election, after nearly 40 years. Disappointing to see it go. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/al…
How to understand money and economics? Liam Dann’s new book BBQ Economics makes it easy (feature for Canvas a bit of a personal story about how I ended up covering this crazy subject) nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/how-…
“Officials provided Costello with multiple compromise options - including introducing a purchase age of 25 - which they said would have saved lives and money. Costello rejected all of them.” rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/…
That Casey Costello ‘correction’ in Parliament today was so opaquely worded, contorted and tortured it just had to have been written by … the ghost of Winston Peters @GuyonEspiner

9.18 minutes in-does a Winnie with documents being introduced from the boot of a Lada @BenThomasNZ @GuyonEspiner
Latest from @GuyonEspiner: Official documents suggest a NZ First minister wants to freeze excise tax on cigarettes - but she denies it. rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/…
@GuyonEspiner I have just finished reading ‘The Drinking Game’ & it is truly an awesome read. It exposes the entire truth about the drinking culture in this country & also provides solutions. This should be required reading for every politician, journalist and public servant
Lobbying firm SenateSHJ has a big influence on NZ govt and politics - but should it be given govt contracts and access via the "revolving door"? My column today featuring @GuyonEspiner @MaxRashbrooke @TaxpayersUnion @SenateSHJ: democracyproject.nz/2023/11/09/bry…
Important story this morning from Guyon Espiner and RNZ on how the Commerce Commission – supposedly the foe of business – brought into its heart a lobbying firm representing clients in industries the Commission was regulating! rnz.co.nz/news/lobbying/…
One of Ardern's Labour's most troubling legacies is accelerating the infiltration of the public sector and government by lobbyists trained on putting private interest ahead of the collective good. Great work by @GuyonEspiner again here. rnz.co.nz/news/lobbying/…
An outstanding interview. @GuyonEspiner talks about his book; The Drinking Game, his love affair with alcohol and how life has improved without it. Also, some stuff about running and why Guyon and I disagree on some of his proposed solutions. open.spotify.com/episode/63LvJP…
Great article by @GuyonEspiner on the influence of the food industry @BoydSwinburn @fi_sing @LisaTeMorenga @bryce_edwards @MaxRashbrooke @openpolicynz rnz.co.nz/programmes/off…
Fascinating behind-the-curtain story by @GuyonEspiner - how policy gets shaped and how close the influencers can become. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
Just listened to the first edition of Caucus - the RNZ election podcast with @lisaowennz, @GuyonEspiner, @julianwilcox and @Tim_Watkin - it's genius, a weekly "must listen" in the run-in to the election 🫶 open.spotify.com/show/2Cg9ad03E…
Thank you @GuyonEspiner for writing this well researched and very readable book. It deserves a wide audience. I hope every politician in the country has a copy.

Does a typical NZer have a swipe card to parliament? No, but plenty of lobbyists do. Of all the things @GuyonEspiner has exposed in this series , the fact lobbyists have swipe cards is the thing which blows my mind the most. rnz.co.nz/news/lobbying/…
