  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/073 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. The free trade agreement with India is both popular and the right thing to do\n\nDavid Farrar\n\n  * 📊 A January 2026 Curia poll of 1,000 New Zealanders found strong support for a free trade agreement with India, with 54% in favour, 17% opposed, and 29% unsure (a +37% net support, roughly 3:1 in favour).\n  * 👥 Support was consistent across demographics, including women (+30%), men (+43%), under 40s (+33%), ages 40–59 (+33%), and over 60s (+44%).\n  * 🗳️ By party vote, support was highest among National (+57%) and ACT (+49%), followed by Labour (+37%), Greens (+19%), NZ First (+8%), while TPM voters were opposed (-15%).\n  * 🔍 Even among parties with leadership opposition (like NZ First and likely the Greens), more of their voters supported the agreement than opposed it.\n  * 🤝 Labour voters were strongly in favour, meaning Labour’s support for the agreement aligned with its voter base.\n  * ⚖️ Despite this, the intensity of support was low—few voters would have punished Labour for opposing the deal, as benefits are long-term rather than immediate.\n  * 🧠 Labour could have politically exploited the situation by opposing the FTA to embarrass the Government and create coalition tension ahead of an election.\n  * 🇳🇿 Instead, Labour chose to prioritise New Zealand’s national interest over political advantage by backing the legislation enabling the agreement.\n  * 🙏 This decision is framed as deserving gratitude, particularly acknowledging Chris Hipkins, Damien O’Connor, and Labour for their stance.\n  * 📈 The FTA is positioned as important for future prosperity, helping fund public services by boosting exports to what is expected to become the world’s third-largest economy.\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",
