Centre/ left, or centre/right is in the eye of the beholder. NZ relative to the USA is definitely left. NZ's core policies, welfare, super, medical, schools, etc i.e. state provided is definitely on the left.

Our trade/market stuff is quite "right", but we are a very small trade exposed and dependent nation, so that makes sense.

WTF logic is that. Of course our policies are left! Labour and the leftie unions make so many policy changes it takes National 3 terms to fix just some of them. Labour put rules in place to control your future National trusts you to look after your own stuff / future.

after a long hard think

otago university have unsurprisingly come to the conclusion

that universities need to be a bastion of free speech

www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/campus/free-speech-statement-%E2%80%98best-country%E2%80%99

presumably if students find views other than their own narrow ones confronting

they'll be encouraged to widen their views as part of growing up

pity otago have gone down the divisive rabbit hole

of saying they'll base everything they do on the treaty

www.teaonews.co.nz/2024/05/01/otagos-rebrand-includes-aim-to-be-te-tiriti-led-university-by-2040/

not sure that treaty activists are actually cool with free speech critiquing the ever changing interpretations of a very old and very simply document
