Yesterday's Budget Policy Statement confirmed that there are some tough tradeoffs ahead for fiscal policy. My take, plus a plea for #infrastructure to feature high on the list of eventual spending decisions economicsnz.blogspot.com/2024/03/hemmed… #nzpol #nzecon

Unhinged anti-Semitism has become a perverse form of virtue-signalling. Students at elite US universities are now applauded for their intolerance towards all things Jewish or Israeli. We must confront this madness, says Joanna Williams buff.ly/44foI57
26 April 1922 | A German Jewish woman, Roza Brin, was born in Hamborn. In 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
Here we have the tragi-comic spectacle of a debate on free speech being shut down because students are “freaked out” that it includes “right wing” voices. I've read about lions on the yellow brick road showing more courage than the university leadership here.
Taxpayers fund universities to expose students to new ideas. If that's no longer the case, the dangerous corollary is that universities are only there to reinforce students' prejudices.
This story captures every reason why ACT's commitment to protecting free speech on university campuses is so critical. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350258…
This is the tiresome nature of politics. It's why many of us sigh at the discourse. I'll call you 'stupid' but it's 'not personal', and then I'll head in the opposite direction when the govt makes the call the opposition is aiming for. It's really only about opposing each other.

Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky. No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers. Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.
24 April 1894 | A German Jewish woman, Elsa Meyer nee Silberberg, was born in Berlin. On 4 February 1943 she was murdered in a gas chamber in #Auschwitz.

Why Does God Allow Evil to Exist? Theists get twisted up in knots trying to answer this question. A far simpler answer is that there is no God so nothing is being allowed, disallowed, justified, caused, or anything else. It's up to us to attenuate evil. afa.net/the-stand/fait…
