Covid Drug Helped Mutate New Variants

Covid Drug Helped Mutate New Variants

One criticism of the rushed, mass-COVID vaccination project was that running mass vaccinations in the middle of an active pandemic was not just unusual — most vaccination programs are designed to prevent outbreaks before they happen — but dangerous.

Election 2023: How Deep Do You Want It?

Election 2023: How Deep Do You Want It?

The Climate Cult has New Zealand’s political class almost completely in its grip. You can vote for any colour, so long as it’s green. The spectrum of party policies ranges from wishy-washy mint to poisonous emerald. The sad truth is that the entire political class is so terrified

Let’s Wait for the Blackouts

As the weather warms up, it’s time for Australians and New Zealanders to gird themselves for the annual emergence of the Climate Cult from their long, winter semi-hibernation. By all accounts, this one is going to be a doozy. After a disappointing (for the Cultists) run of mediocre, wet

Another Opportunity, if They’ll Take It

Another Opportunity, if They’ll Take It

As I wrote yesterday, on the issue of nuclear power, the Coalition has found a clear point of difference and a popular bludgeon to belt the government with. If it has the balls to stand up against almost every elite vested interest group in Australia, it’s got another opportunity.

The Only Nazi the Media Won’t See

Imagine if Donald Trump had welcomed a former Nazi SS soldier with a standing ovation in Congress. The media would have gone nuts. They lost their minds badly enough over imaginary Nazis, the sheer, catastrophic meltdown over the Donald being seen in company with an actual, WWII-vintage Nazi would still

Don’t Worry, Chippy, He Ain’t Going to Call You

I don’t know what Chris Hipkins has been huffing, it might be hopium, but he reckons he’d take a call from Winston Peters on election night if he needs to. Chance would be a fine thing. Labour leader Chris Hipkins says he would answer a phone call from

Down, Down, Deeper and Down

If there’s going to be a late surge in support for the “Indigenous Voice” referendum, as the Yes camp insist, then’s it’s a long time coming. With just weeks left until polling day, support instead continues to fall. And that’s after weeks of intense campaigning by

After the Voice, Comes Nuclear?

After the Voice, Comes Nuclear?

With voting day in the Indigenous Voice” referendum drawing closer, and polls showing support falling even lower, the question naturally becomes: then what? Politics will, after all, continue, regardless of the referendum outcome. For Anthony Albanese, a referendum loss will be a deadly blow to his leadership. Not immediately fatal,

Newshub Poll: Winston Game On

The latest Newshub/Reid Research poll is out and it confirms that Labour are toast. But it also shows what I have been predicting for months: that National’s support would wane and NZ First’s would grow. No wonder Christopher Luxon felt squeezed enough to have to confirm he’
