  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/055 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. A Country losing faith\n\nBryce Edwards\n\n  * 📉 Only 17% of New Zealanders believe the next generation will be better off, marking a sharp decline in optimism and placing NZ among the most pessimistic developed countries\n  * 🌍 More than 80% of respondents said the future will either not improve or they’re unsure, signalling a widespread loss of belief in progress\n  * 🧠 The 2026 Acumen Edelman Trust Barometer highlights a shift from grievance (2025) to **insularity** (2026), where people withdraw from those with differing views\n  * 🤝 76% of Kiwis are now reluctant to trust people with different beliefs or backgrounds, above the global average, showing growing social division\n  * 🧩 Society is becoming increasingly fragmented, with a shift from collective thinking (“we”) to individual isolation (“me”)\n  * ახალგაზრდ 🚫 Young people are especially affected: 57% think the world is declining, 26% feel powerless to improve their lives, and 1 in 4 young men have no close friends\n  * 😔 This reflects **atomisation** —not active protest, but quiet resignation and disengagement from society and institutions\n  * 📊 New Zealand’s Trust Index sits at 49 (still in “distrust” territory), ranking 25th out of 28 countries despite a slight improvement\n  * 🏛️ Trust in government remains low at 45%, media at 39% (least trusted), while business (57%) and NGOs (55%) fare relatively better\n  * 💰 A clear income divide exists: higher-income earners show more trust (56%) than lower-income groups (43%), highlighting inequality in confidence\n  * ⚖️ A massive gap exists between expectations and performance: 81% expect government to bridge divides, but only 21% think it succeeds\n  * 📣 Strong majorities want politicians to stop divisive rhetoric (80%) and engage in civil discourse (79%), indicating frustration with political behaviour\n  * 🗳️ In an election year, low trust and rising pessimism create fertile ground for anti-establishment politics and voter disruption\n  * 🧭 Disaffected groups like the “Precarious Left” and “Alienated Conservatives” (≈35% of voters) feel underserved by mainstream parties\n  * 🌐 Rising distrust is linked to economic nationalism, with 26% supporting fewer foreign companies even at higher costs\n  * ⚠️ While New Zealand has avoided major political upheavals seen overseas, the underlying conditions—declining trust, pessimism, and division—are deepening\n  * 🧾 Critics argue the report identifies symptoms well but avoids root causes like inequality, insecurity, and systemic political failure\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
