Politicians are unique in one special regard: they never suffer the consequences of their actions and amazingly move from one well-filled trough to the next almost seamlessly. And so it is with Grant Robertson, arguably the worst Finance Minister in living memory. He’s quit Parliament and landed a cushy
Ever notice that they never build wind farms or acres of solar plants in Ultimo, Ponsonby, or Fitzroy? It’s funny how green-left types who worship at the altar of their bird-chomping eco-crucifixes and deserts of silicon and glass never want them in their back yards. Put up a field
As if Anthony Albanese hasn’t stepped on enough landmines already, the deadliest ordnance any Labor government can trigger has just started ticking: boats. Illegal boat arrivals have been political kryptonite for Labor for decades, ever since John Howard ordered the Tampa turned back. Since then, the pattern has been

Jacinda Ardern can do no wrong in the eyes of some mainstream media, making her government’s list of failures of no interest to them despite the public emphatically rejecting a further term of financial mismanagement, cost blowouts and social restructuring. Doubtless, the MSM will give the coalition no quarter
The NZDF lost in the Court of Appeal which upheld an earlier case declaring the vaccine mandates for the NZDF were illegal. I’ve lost count of how many times Ardern’s draconian mandates and lockdowns have been found illegal. But now: In a bombshell legal decision, the Court of
I was delighted, recently, to find the complete series of In Search Of… free on YouTube. For those who don’t remember, In Search Of… is a slice of classic ’70s weirdness, pre-New Age, with Leonard Nimoy totes seriously chasing every bit of fruitcakery, from the Loch Ness monster, to
As we are all well aware, Hamas’ commanders live in luxury while their ‘brother and sister martyrs’ starve amid the rubble of the war they started. We also know only too well that most of their vast wealth is siphoned off from the billions of dollars of ‘aid’ money that
One of the big problems with medical and scientific malpractice is that it’s a lot easier to commit than expose or remedy. Thalidomide, for example: it took years and tens of thousands of deformed babies before the drug was taken off the market. By the time the Wakefield paper
Greta Thunberg only has to scowl (as if she has any other expression on that charmless mug) and it’s front page news. In far-away Buenos Aires, a gaggle of left-wingers stamp their feet at Javier Milei and the media are agog. Tens of thousands of farmers stage monster protests

Christopher Luxon wants more dams. It’s an admirable goal, but belies the fact that it usually requires other people’s money to do it and so, like the zombie apocalypse, the undead of socialism rise again to stalk the land. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon wants to remove “red tape”
As I wrote recently, Japan’s SLIM (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) probe somewhat embarrassingly landed upside-down. But, while it’s fun to have a bit of a giggle at a mishap in what is, after all, a very tricky business, we shouldn’t lose sight of what the Japanese
