  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/069 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. How to stop the rise of NZ First\n\nBryce Edwards\n\n  * 🛒 Winston Peters promises to break up the supermarket duopoly, a clear, punchy populist policy likely to resonate more than the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand push for electrification.\n  * 📊 New Zealand First is gaining momentum in polls (13–15%), driven by anti-establishment policies like breaking up electricity gentailers and targeting corporate dominance.\n  * 🗳️ Peters’ rising popularity (12.1% preferred PM) and ambitions—highlighted by Matthew Hooton—suggest NZ First could demand major power, even the վարչապետ role, after the election.\n  * 🔧 The “Broken New Zealand” narrative reflects widespread belief that key sectors (supermarkets, banks, power) are dominated by uncompetitive elites, with rising prices and declining services.\n  * 📉 Public pessimism is growing: most think the country is heading the wrong way, trust is low, and only 17% believe the next generation will be better off.\n  * ⚡ Peters’ success comes from tapping this frustration—naming villains and offering simple, forceful solutions—regardless of NZ First’s own establishment ties or limited delivery in government.\n  * 🧭 The political field is largely vacant, with other parties failing to connect with discontented voters, allowing NZ First’s surge to reflect broader systemic dissatisfaction.\n  * 👥 Danyl McLauchlan identifies two neglected voter blocs—the “Precarious Left” and “Alienated Conservatives”—together ~35% of voters who feel the system doesn’t serve them.\n  * 🏛️ These groups are politically orphaned: Labour/Greens align with educated elites, while National/Act represent establishment business interests, leaving a large disaffected base.\n  * 🎯 Peters is positioning himself to capture these voters, despite ideological differences between the groups, by focusing on their shared distrust of the system.\n  * 🥀 Chris Hipkins and Labour acknowledge problems (duopolies, oligopolies) but offer cautious, incremental solutions like regulation rather than structural reform.\n  * 🧾 Labour’s recent policies (limited capital gains tax, “Future Fund”) are seen as timid and overly cautious, reinforcing a perception of managerial, risk-averse politics.\n  * ⚠️ Without bold action—like breaking up monopolies or major tax reform—Labour risks losing more support to NZ First, especially among its traditional base.\n  * 🔮 The central dynamic of the campaign: Peters is capitalizing on anger and simplicity, while rivals appear hesitant, technocratic, and disconnected from voter frustration.\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",
