Chris Hipkins seems to have adopted a new strategy since losing the election: being a dork. Worse, he is being a dork dripping with disdain and disrespect. He is also using the tried and true tactic of every opposition leader since forever: chasing every passing car like a proverbial mad
The legacy media, echoing the false attack against Donald Trump with their “bloodbath” lies have done exactly the same thing to Winston Peters with their false and deceptive reporting of his State of the Union speech. Every single legacy media outlet ran deceptive headlines claiming that Winston Peters compared co-governance
Chris Hipkins really is as politically stupid as he appears. In his infinite wisdom, he decided to have a battle of wits with Winston Peters, a battle that I might add he is singularly ill-equipped to deal with. But he went there. The New Zealand First leader and Cabinet minister
Grant Robertson reckons he never became Labour leader because of homophobia. Worse still he fingers (excuse the pun) the unions as pooftah haters. Now you may not believe me, but check out what he said in media over the weekend: Senior Labour MP Grant Robertson says being gay was “a
Here is the replay of The Crunch from this week. My guests this week were Tanya Unkovich and Graham Davis and, of course, we have the Buddies. Enjoy! TANYA UNKOVICH: NZ First MP: On Her Maiden Speech, Challenges Faced And Her Goals Joining Cam is Tanya Unkovich, list MP for
Apparently, an ‘independent’ study commissioned by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet suggests that people are being exposed, shock horror, to misinformation. But is it really a problem? New Zealanders are regularly exposed to misinformation and disinformation on social media, although the magnitude of such content has waned since
Yesterday Golriz Ghahraman appeared in court to plead guilty for her shoplifting offences. It must have been a humiliating experience but something interesting has come to light. Ghahraman was originally due to appear on 20 March, but somehow managed to squeeze in her appearance seven days earlier. But that is
Christopher Luxon really needs a quick remedial lesson in Cam’s Rules of Politics, particularly the first rule. Clearly, he seems unaware of the rule which is ‘Explaining is losing.’ He sure has been doing a great deal of explaining, that is for sure. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon got quite
As delightful as the demise of the media has been, there seems to be a narrative building, especially from those same media people who failed to read the room, that somehow democracy is dying in the dark because media companies are failing. It is as histrionic as it is false.
Christopher Luxon needs to realise that the media are not his friends: in fact they are the enemy. The media also discovered that, when put under pressure, Luxon folds like a Warehouse deck chair. That’s why his ratings have plummeted in the latest Taxpayers’ Union/Curia poll: PartySupportChange compared
Here is the replay of The Crunch from this week. My guests this week were Paul Moon and Michael Bassett and, of course, we have the Buddies. Enjoy! PROFESSOR PAUL MOON, Philosopher, Historian And Author: On His Article, ‘Waitangi Day 2024: 5 Myths And Misconceptions That Confuse The Treaty Debates’
I’ve been posting on X (formerly Twitter) about Professor Joanna Kidman, a director of the Centre of Research Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism, which is part of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. She was appointed by Jacinda Ardern to the role. David Farrar also

Auckland Council, and more importantly the mayor, just don’t seem to care about what ratepayers want. They’ve embarked on another expensive virtue signalling exercise and decided parks and council buildings across Auckland will be rebranded with Maori and English names: Parks and council buildings across Auckland will be
Chris Hipkins got schooled during Question Time by Winston Peters. It was an object lesson which showed Chris Hipkins that no matter how smart he thinks he is, no matter how often he asks stupid questions, and no matter how often he inanely bobs his head with a silly grin,
As expected, a woke judge has given the granny basher a slap on the wrist with a well-soaked paper serviette, effectively signalling that if you are an effed-in-the-head trans activist you can assault people for daring to have a differing opinion from you. A man who admitted punching a 71-year-old
