Seymour Flexes His Muscles, Everyone Starts Laughing

The National Party and Labour Party have followed Act’s lead and attacked NZ First and Winston Peters in the final week of the campaign. The desperation is palpable. Now David Seymour has re-issued his threat to sit on the cross-benches and dictate what goes through the house or not.

Try Being Gay in Palestine, I Dare You

‘Pinkwashing’, like ‘greenwashing’, usually refers to the sort of corporations who plaster their communications with rainbows during Pride Month, or Year, or whatever is the current tenure, when we’re supposed to pretend that obese middle-aged men in sequined g-strings dry-humping each other in the street in front of children

Pakistan Puts Its Foot Down

Does anyone remember the reality TV show Karachi Cops? Those bad boys didn’t mess around. No KFC or ‘interventions’ for their suspects. If the perp doesn’t confess, then just beat the soles of their feet until they do. Now, the Pakistani government is likewise not messing around with

Can We Get Back to the Garden?

Can We Get Back to the Garden?

When misfortune strikes Ned Flanders, The Simpsons’ quintessential Charlie Church, he asks, in Job-like despair: why me, Lord? I’ve done everything the Bible says, even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff! Ned’s confusion is what awaits anyone who holds to the peculiar doctrine of Biblical literalism: that

Tas Government Safe… For Now
