New Zealand's Political History, 1935 to the Present

• First Labour Government 1935-1949

• The 1935 Election. A reasonably OK video on the 1935 election. I haven't had the time to carefully fact check it, but worth watching if taken with a grain of salt. Good collection of images from the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiHnV0aTLz4

• Short speech from Norman Kirk opposing French nuclear testing in the South Pacific.

https://teara.govt.nz/en/speech/27/norman-kirk-speaking-at-the-official-farewell-to-hms-otago 

"Prime Minister Norman Kirk told the 242 crew of HMNZS Otago that their Mururoa mission was an ‘honourable’ one − they were to be a ‘silent accusing witness with the power to bring alive the conscience of the world’.

France had conducted atmospheric nuclear tests at Mururoa (or Moruroa), an atoll 1250 km south-east of Tahiti, since 1966. When the French refused to accept an International Court of Justice injunction against atmospheric testing, New Zealand’s Labour government decided to alternately station two frigates, HMNZS Otago and Canterbury, in international waters outside the test area. A Cabinet minister would accompany this daring protest. Kirk put all their names into a hat and drew out that of Fraser Colman, the minister of immigration and mines. The opposition National Party declined an invitation to send an MP on Otago.

The protests had some success. In 1974, by which time 41 atmospheric tests had been conducted at Mururoa, the new French president, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, decided that future testing would be held underground. Even so, the atoll remained a focus of anti-nuclear protest. The test site at Mururoa was dismantled following France’s last underground explosion in 1996."

The New Zealand Initiative
In 2012 the Business Roundtable and the New Zealand Institute merged to form The New Zealand Initiative - a group of executives from big business that advocates extreme neolioberal policies broadly consistent with those of the ACT Party.
http://nzinitiative.org.nz/ 

This is a propaganda video that glosses over the specifics of the kind of extreme right-wing policies that the NZ Initiative advocates. Note that while much of what they claim they advocating, such as 'affordable housing', is double-speak. That is if these policies were actually implemented they would actually have the opposite effect to what is being claimed by the NZ Initiative.

• Very interesting report on the 'carbon bubble' on the Guardian website. Highlights which stock exchange listed companies have the greatest carbon assets and the financial risks that they face if these assets become unburnable due to the introduction of more effective environmental policies addressing the causes of climate change. This also indicates just how powerfully motivated these companies are to lobby governments to prevent them introducting more effective environmental policies to counter global warming.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/interactive/2013/apr/19/countries-exposed-carbon-bubble-map 

• Really interesting article in The Guardian: "The climate crisis of the 21st century has been caused largely by just 90 companies, which between them produced nearly two-thirds of the greenhouse gas emissions generated since the dawning of the industrial age, new research suggests."

The Sixth (Ardern) Labour Government, 2017-

The Global Financial Crisis: Is A Repeat Looming?
It is interesting that economists right, left and centre all agree that another crash is coming. It is not if, it is when. The important questions are not to do with whether it will happen, but how severe the downturn will be, what capacity governments and central banks will have to manage it, and whether the world's poor and middling folks will be prepared to tolerate another bank bailout that they know that they, as opposed to the rich, will have to pay for.
