25 years since it was published, Bob Kerr's "After the War" is still one of the most glorious, beautiful, & heartbreaking pictorial social histories of Aotearoa New Zealand.
The pictures tell a billion little stories, covering 55 years of a Kiwi family's life.
Simply stunning!

Maybe the "mature conversation" NZ needs to have is about the gap between rhetoric and reality with CEO and board appointments.

Replace the word "officers" with "ministers", Ms Attourney-General, and get back to us, eh?

The same way that New Zealand's highest paid, most biased media opinionist, Mike Hosking, constantly berates the "bias" of "the media" in New Zealand....
"Because they've failed to run the economy properly..."
Who is"they",Mr Peters?
FYI, NZFirst is part of this govt. Mr Peters has served as Deputy PM.
So any failure can be shared with him.
Its called responsibility.

'Tawdry, silly argument': Winston Peters criticises asset sales, says government has not fixed economy
The NZ First leader has savaged National's suggestion, saying it has failed to fix the economy and is now trying to balance the books.

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest.
He wants a conversation where we agree with him.

I caught some of RNZ Mediawatch this morning discussing lack of trust in NZ media.
The show lead-off featuring new Zealand's highest paid media opinionist (he himself has repeatedly declared he is NOT a journalist) Mike Hosking, decrying how biased & bad NZ media is.
YOU ARE MEDIA, fucknuckle!
