It is traditionally thought that New Zealand has a three-year term for governments. While strictly true, in reality, it isn’t. Matt McCarten was the guy who explained to me that our real term of parliament is actually six years, split into two three-year halves. If your government
The only thing really surprising about Australian voters’ rejection of the “Indigenous Voice to Parliament” referendum was its scale and brutal swiftness. Within less than an hour of polls closing, it was clear that the referendum had been emphatically rejected in every state. There was no need to even bother
Imagine if, when General Eisenhower released the horrifying footage of the liberation of Dachau and Auschwitz, left-wing “progressives” had marched in their thousands across the Allied nations, proclaiming their allegiance to the Reich?

Seems like a whole bunch of lefty university students are about to find out what happens when you, ah, fool around, to put it politely. Especially Ivy League law students. A number of large law firms have already signalled their increasing reluctance to hire graduates from Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
There are some things you just can’t un-see. And no, I’m not talking about the Cats movie. Although I wish it were something so silly and inconsequential. Many years ago, for instance, I saw a video of an actual stoning in some Middle-Eastern shithole. It kept

A couple of years ago, I wrote about Zealandia for the BFD. Zealandia is the name given to what was the world’s eighth continent, until it sunk beneath the Pacific, like the fabled Lemuria. Today, all that remains above the waves are its once-highlands, now islands, such as
