Analysis by Bryce Edwards How seriously does the Māori Party take issues of corruption and the untoward influence of big money in politics? Not very, based on how it’s handling a political finance scandal in which three large donations were kept hidden from the public. The party is currently making excuses, and largely failing to ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Māori Party needs to come clean" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/04/13/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-the-maori-party-needs-to-come-clean/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Māori Party needs to come clean">Read more</a>

It is very telling that the biggest conflict around Waitangi Day this year was over whether National Party leader Simon Bridges should have given an overtly political speech on the Treaty Grounds on Tuesday.

Analysis by Keith Rankin. The 2018 census has had such a low compliance rate, that it really acted as a large convenience sample (therefore a biased sample) of the New Zealand population. (See my Census Survey from March 2018.) Despite the assurances we are getting, many researchers will have little confidence in its population tallies ... <a title="Keith Rankin’s Chart of the Month – Auckland and New Zealand’s Population Dynamics" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/08/22/keith-rankins-chat-of-the-month-auckland-and-new-zealands-population-dynamics/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin’s Chart of the Month – Auckland and New Zealand’s Population Dynamics">Read more</a>

Analysis by Dr Bryce Edwards The extraordinary Māori land protest at Ihumātao in Auckland is symbolic of our time. It is unlikely to have occurred, say, five years ago. It perfectly reflects heightened concerns and increased radicalism over racism, economic inequality, and the history of colonialism in New Zealand. This meant that when the police ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Ihumātao reflects the Zeitgeist of 2019" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/07/30/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-ihumatao-reflects-the-zeitgeist-of-2019/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Ihumātao reflects the Zeitgeist of 2019">Read more</a>
