HOME IS WHERE THE LANDLORD IS

It is an election year, so every week Nexus will cover new policies it finds interesting and try to get the politicians to speak to us. The obvious place to start was with the Greens who launched A Home for Everybody, last week. So we asked Dylan Jarrett to cover it while Toby Brockelbank sat down with Francisco Hernandez – You can view an

? By Bassvictim.

Propelled to the forefront of the whole electroclash/knitted sweater/no-its-not-indie-sleaze-dont-call-it-that London/New York “scene” with their two 2025 albums Basspunk 2 and Forever, Bassvictim’s Ike Clatman and Maria Monrow have had an open messiness to their image that lands somewhere between Pete Doherty with Kate Moss and the Instagram stories of that highschool couple you’re sort of worried about.

Blocking the block on puberty blockers

A big bit of the rhetoric used to push the regulations of puberty blockers is the medical angle. “There just isn’t enough long-term research about the benefits and risks involved with supplying these drugs to young people with gender dysphoria” is the angle that this government went with. Is this really valid? I reached out to Dr. Steven Lillis

Iran, So Far Away

Last issue, in a chat with Al Gillespie, it seemed like the possibility of conflict in Iran was 50-50. In the weekend between that mag going to print and arriving on stands on Monday, Israel and the United States carried out a bombing strike on Iran which has led to

MOVE ALONG

It’s official, and it’s not surprising. After what must have been plenty of whining during wine-and-steak dinners in nice Auckland suburbs and Golf games on barren turf, the government have given cops the authority and directive to issue ‘move on’ orders to unhoused people aged 14 and up. Punishment for refusing to listen to a cop – who was at best totally oblivious to Jevon McSkimming’s internet usage and, at worst, probably

CHECK OUT THESE NEW APARTMENTS

Maybe you’ve noticed some fancy new buildings along Knighton Road. Maybe, if you’re one of our readers who lived in Studvill last year, you got to have study sessions soundtracked by machinery, hammers, and worksite JBL speakers. These are the University’s new apartments. Billed as accommodation for students who want some extra independence (translation: not having to smuggle your sneaky link around) while still living on campus. These things weren’t exactly cheap

2026 NEXUS SUMMER ROUNDUP

While we might have been sleeping, partying, and recovering from Covid over Summer, the world did not pump the brakes to wait for us to get over our hangovers – I remember getting home from Laneway and dumping five onion rings from the airfryer into my plate while my twitter feed was suddenly

(national is) CRUNCHING OUR NUMBERS

The economy is a daunting thing for most people, not only are econ majors usually really, blood-boilingly insufferable, but the big wigs running the show love dressing up what’s going on in smoke and mirrors that make the whole thing seem like some calculated circus act: There are ups and

NEXUS BREAKS THE NEWS 

OOPS, ALL PEDOPHILES  Following multiple statements from the Trump admin calling the Wall Street Journal’s accusation of a lewd letter exchanged between the President and Jeffrey Epstein ‘libelous!’, the estate of the Legitimate Suicide Victim and New York Financier provided the US congress with Epstein’s ‘Birthday Book’, subtitled: “CHECK OUT

Tamaki’s big London holiday!

During Tommy Robinson’s London ‘Unite the Kingdom’ ‘Free Speech’ rally on Sunday, amid showcases of flags featuring America’s Don’t Tread on Me flag, songs calling for Palestine to be shoved up the arse, and hope for a 1776 style revolution, the British anti-immigration rally platformed Aotearoa New Zealand’s very own
