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

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’

And You Thought Apple Maps Was Bad

And You Thought Apple Maps Was Bad

Like mothers throughout human history, mine would often reprimand me for some childish act of group stupidity by asking, if my friends jumped off a cliff, would I do it too? Of course, I never gave her the honest answer: of course I would. Children are idiots and born followers.

Ukraine Is So 2022 Now

Being the Current Thing is a precarious honour. To paraphrase Krusty the Clown, one day, you’re the most important thing there ever was; the next day, you’re some schmo begging for handouts and pissing everyone off. Of course, Ukraine has been begging for handouts all along, but for

The End of the Beginning of the Battle of the Bulges

Britain nearly got lucky, last year. Nearly. Back in July 2022, when Britain’s ruling Conservatives were casting about for a replacement for the unlamented Boris Johnson, one name that stood out from the pack of CINOs and globalist toadies was Kemi Badenoch. As I wrote back then: If Badenoch

UK Pushing Back against the Climate Cult

UK Pushing Back against the Climate Cult

Britain has long been a case study in the madness of “Net Zero”. The UK faces the prospect of widespread power outages for the first time since power was rationed in the early ’70s. Even barring full blackouts, tens of thousands of British households have to choose, every winter, between

Here Is a Question for Erica Stanford

Here Is a Question for Erica Stanford

National minister Erica Stanford better sort out her priorities pretty darn quick, because her inability to separate fact from fiction regarding the Posie Parker debacle makes her a target for political manipulation and of real concern when she takes on more responsibility in the new government. Political careers depend on

Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven but Nobody Wants to Die

1News, as part of their finance debate between Grant Robertson and Nicola Willis, polled people to seek their opinions on paying for poverty reduction and climate change. The debate was an unedifying spectacle that illuminated no one but the poll results were as anyone would have expected. The first part

The First Pop Culture Sensation?

The First Pop Culture Sensation?

Boomers, as we all know, like to think they invented everything. Teenage sex (what, they never read Romeo and Juliet?), adolescent rebellion (ask Plato about that one), recreational drugs (the entire history of the human race is a saga of inventing new ways to get messed up), and rock’n’

The Kappas Might Get You

No doubt due to the cautionary tales of mothers everywhere hoping to help their curious offspring survive to adulthood, tales of malevolent water spirits are near-ubiquitous around the world. In Anglo-Celtic culture, if the kelpies didn’t get you, Jenny Greenteeth would. Australia’s Aborigines famously had the
