To give you an idea of the “quality” of this article, take this line.
“It seemed at a time to be a safe bet that New Zealand would continue a recent history of giving governments of both persuasion, nine years at the top before the political metronome swung back like clockwork, set to a uniquely kiwi beat”.
Let’s look at the facts.
Since the end of the first Labour government in 1949 there’s been 5 more. They’ve lasted respectively, 3 years, 3 years, 6 years, 9 years and 6 years. In short, contrary to the article, Labour have had only one 9 year term and not five. That was the Clarke government which Helen sustained by largely running a National type administration of not rocking the boat.
This garbage was contributed by a trendy-lefty Sydney so-called public relations outfit.
Despite this criticism I confess I’d be lost without The Guardian, it having provided me with rich material in my various comic novels, in which I portray them always getting the wrong end of the stick.

The Guardian is the Bible of the woke and the " Chardonnay socialists".
Never deterred when rubbish statistics are spouted.
Very dangerous.
That an "amateur" can more than eclipse their efforts at writing irks the literary establishment and they seldom allow themselves to dispense any praise. But Bob's books are a good light read. He has knowledge of fields beyond the ken of literary types and works into his books. And not being part of the psuedo intellectual circuit he takes swipes galore.
The Guardian.
The wrapping paper of choice for fish n chip fans everywhere!
