Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: What’s driving the urgent clamp down on foreign donations?

December 5, 2019

What is it about reforming laws around money and politics that makes politicians so inclined to stuff it up and act undemocratically? From Helen Clark’s notorious Electoral Finance Act (2007) – which the party eventually voted to repeal, given it was so anti-democratic and unworkable – through to yesterday’s announcement of a so-called ban on ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: What’s driving the urgent clamp down on foreign donations?" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/12/05/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-whats-driving-the-urgent-clamp-down-on-foreign-donations/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: What’s driving the urgent clamp down on foreign donations?">Read more</a>

Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour risks losing the Māori vote

December 3, 2019

Labour chose a pākehā over a Māori as president at its annual conference in the weekend. Some believe this could have ramifications for a sector of the party and a demographic feeling ill-served by the party and the Government. Commentators have argued that this is symptomatic of bigger problems in the Labour-Māori relationship, which could ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour risks losing the Māori vote" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/12/03/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-labour-risks-losing-the-maori-vote/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour risks losing the Māori vote">Read more</a>

Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s successful reset conference

December 2, 2019

Labour held a very successful annual party conference in the weekend, projecting a strong degree of unity, progress, and positivity. And perhaps most importantly, it showed it was willing to deliver a major dose of spending where it will yield results, reiterating that this is a government focused on traditional Labour concerns. This was all ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s successful reset conference" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/12/02/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-labours-successful-reset-conference/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s successful reset conference">Read more</a>

Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Should we care about prisoners voting?

November 29, 2019

There has been little real debate on an important Government announcement made last weekend. Justice Minister Andrew Little said the Government had decided to give the right to vote back to prisoners with sentences of three years or less. Perhaps it’s appropriate that there was no great reaction. After all, the change affects so few ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Should we care about prisoners voting?" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/11/29/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-should-we-care-about-prisoners-voting/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Should we care about prisoners voting?">Read more</a>
