Welcome to the inaugural Saturday edition of More Than A Feilding. It has two purposes. One is to give subscribers who donât have time to read every newsletter an omnibus edition to catch up. The second is to give free subscribers a sampler of the past week.
Hereâs what happened this week in More Than A Feilding.
Mondayâs edition was about challenging tropes and lies and insinuations and preconceptions.
On a recent visit to swivel-eyed radio station Reality Check Radio David Seymour was invited to validate their agenda of wrongheadedness, and his response was a very clear: I donât think so, matey.
This edition is now free for everyone to read.
Tuesday was about Mr Luxonâs tax receipt idea.
Wednesday was about Chris Bishop and the readiness of the National Party to assert that up is down, black is white and Bishop renting from his mother-in-law makes him as one with hard-pressed tenants.
Thursdayâs school journal looked at the fire in Newtown and other tragedies.
Fridayâs quiz covered the budget and the fragile state of things.
And last weekendâs column was about the way weâve been dealing with flooding.
Everything kept on as usual, even though you only had to look outside to see that it was mad to go anywhere, do anything out there.
More Than A Feilding is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
