Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Centrepoint survivor Dr Caroline Ansley on the chilling similarities revealed by the recent investigation into Gloriavale, Shanti Mathias on what the debate over lecture recordings says about the future of tertiary education and Brannavan Gnanalingam on the rugby story that’s played out over and over again. But first, Duncan Greive on the one Wayne Brown idea the whole city seems to be able to agree on.
“The newly minted Auckland mayor does not present as the man to unite us. His first days in office have been marked by an almost comical degree of hostility and rancour, from his refusal to speak to media to his cheerful pronouncement that he would work part-time hours due to his pitiful salary – not even $300,000! One council appointed chairperson resigned immediately upon hearing of his victory, the rest have been sent the kind of letters which might more normally be expected from ordinary constituents with too much time on their hands. Yet it is Wayne Brown – yep, right-leaning, bloodyminded, pin-a-pic-of-Simon-Wilson-to-a-urinal Wayne Brown – who has already managed to alight upon an issue which has drawn hugely enthusiastic endorsement from both Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick and Tāmaki Makaurau mana whenua at Ngāti Whātua Orākei.”

Man alone: Elderly and isolated in Aotearoa “I see people his age out at cafes, walking, cycling and socialising, and I hope and imagine I will be like them when I’m in my 80s. They’re usually either groups of women, or couples. It seems rare to see men in a group together, enjoying their retirement. As Dad notches up yet another birthday without Mum by his side, it has struck me how if I see single men around his age out of the house, they’re often alone.”
