Media and Hipkins Handing Winston Free Hits
In the unseemly debate on Wednesday night Chris Hipkins used a quote from NZ First candidate Rob Ballantyne out of context. It allowed Winston Peters to have a free hit and get free publicity across all the media at once, hijacking the news cycle brilliantly. New Zealand First leader Winston

A Precious Cup of Cosmic Dust
As H. P. Lovecraft wrote, in his famous opening sentences of The Call of Cthulhu: “We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far”. Certainly, we’ve barely dipped our toes in the
Can’t Help Those Who Won’t Help Themselves
For all their blatherskite about “truth-telling”, the troughers of the Aboriginal industry persistently peddle one of the biggest, most damaging lies about Aboriginal culture. This is the lie that traditional Aboriginal culture was a peaceful, agrarian utopia. The appalling violence of contemporary Aboriginal society, when they even admit to
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. Because, the argument went, doing so would force the virus’ natural inclination

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
New Poll Confirms Winston as Kingmaker
1News has released the latest 1News/Verian Poll and it confirms the Newshub poll. The trend is the most important thing and the trend says National and Labour are slipping away, Act has stalled, and Winston Peters is on a surge, gaining 1 per cent a week. New Zealand First
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,
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
Another One Bites the Dust…
And another one down, another one gone, another one bites the dust… another of the Class of Covid has dropped out. This time, it’s none other than Head Boy himself, Dictator Dan Andrews, soon-to-be-former Victorian premier. Daniel Andrews will step down as Victorian premier after nine

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
