The Conversations They Don’t Want You to Have

New Zealand's most pressing political, cultural and social debates — from the voices mainstream media has been avoiding.

New Zealand’s political landscape is shifting. The conversations that mainstream media has avoided for years are now being had in kitchens, on marae, in church halls and on social media feeds from Northland to Southland.

Off The Cuff exists to be part of those conversations — and to start the ones nobody else will.

This is the launch issue of OTC Magazine. We are unapologetically New Zealand. Community connected. Opinion driven. Culturally diverse. Independent. Conversation starting.

In this issue, we look at the housing crisis through the eyes of the communities most affected. We sit down with voices that mainstream media has been too cautious — or too comfortable — to platform. We ask the questions that get waved away in press conferences.

This is what New Zealand sounds like when it speaks for itself.
