We’ve pretended we’re a global powerhouse when we’re really just a subsidised sideshow. Trump’s tariff is a reality check and a chance to rebuild on solid ground. Let’s stop crying over spilt milk and start building businesses that can stand on their own.
Doyle isn’t a victim of a grand conspiracy to erase him. He’s an MP who made poor choices and now faces scrutiny – scrutiny he’s earned.
This helicopter deal is a step but it’s a wobbly one. Five to replace eight feels like a downgrade dressed up as an upgrade. The lack of drone investment is a missed opportunity. And the price tag, driven by ‘interoperability’, smells like we’re paying a premium to keep Uncle Sam smiling.
New Zealand doesn’t need a government that looks like a corporate org chart gone rogue. We need one that’s lean, mean and focused on results. Seymour’s got the razor out. Let’s see if he’s got the guts to make the deep cuts we really need.
Turnbull’s RNZ sermon is just another chapter in his long history of self-important drivel. He’s a failed PM who couldn’t hack it at home, so now he’s preaching to the Kiwis like he’s some elder statesman.
How can the public trust Aitken to preside impartially when she’s shown such blatant disregard for judicial decorum?
Tory Whanau is on her way out, thank goodness, but her legacy of chaos will linger like a bad smell. Andrew Little might be next in line but his history suggests he’ll just swap one set of disasters for another.
Stuff, do your job. Correct the record or pull the article. And to the police and politicians preaching about gun control while this mess festers – clean your own house before you come for ours.
The sheer gall of China whining about this is laughable. They’ve got no business meddling in our affairs, yet here they are clutching their pearls because our politicians dared to set foot in Taipei.
