This blog was dedicated to the monitoring of latest developments in Central, Regional and Local politics from its base in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. The blog was run by a team with unique insights into latest developments. The Hive was not politically aligned, but did support policy that was best for the growth of business and the economy. Given the obvious interest from our readership The Hive from time to time delved into the politics of other countries or regions.

Rod Oram Part Of The Conspiracy?
If Peter Neilson's Business Council for Sustainable Development is openly aligned to Labour as Trans Tasman is suggesting, what does this say for so called "journalist" Canon Rod Oram. Oram devotes much of his space in his column in the Sunday Star Times to promoting the virtues of membership of the Business Council for Sustainable Development. More worrying for The Hive is Oram's failure to declare potential conflicts of interest in his articles. The Hive would be interested in any analysis readers may have done on the amount of money that Oram has been paid to facilitate or comment at meetings on climate change, and how much money he has been paid by Government Departments or agencies such as the Asia Foundation?
