The new parliamentary year has kicked off in Australia, and, as expected, the prime minister’s broken promise on tax cuts has dominated discussion. As also expected, the opposition is picking its battles carefully. Peter Dutton has confirmed he will not “stand in the way” of stage three tax cuts,
They’re at it again: youths of no particular description are committing a wave of violent crimes across the country. Just don’t expect the media to tell you the whole truth. As is usual with such crimes, what the media don’t tell you speaks volumes. If they even
Would New Zealanders have been better off praying, rather than vaccinating, during Covid? Some recent studies might separately suggest so. Firstly, two Cambridge-led studies found that religious people coped with the pandemic — or, more correctly, with the draconian lockdown policies governments imposed in response better than secular people. Cambridge University-led
For all the whingeing and whining over colonialism, it’s notable that most of post-colonial Africa hasn’t exactly been a model of stable democracy and human rights. One exception has been Senegal. Even last year, it was ranked as the fourth most stable democracy in Africa. And now…? Riot

One of my favourite truisms in politics is “explaining is losing”. Yet that is exactly what the NZ Herald did yesterday with a Waitangi Day article explaining to us all why it is that they are impartial, honest and independent. Yes, they really went there. Explaining is losing. If you

The mainstream media are dying, and good riddance. Where Wilbur F. Storey once thundered that it was a newspaper’s duty to “print the news and raise hell”, today’s lickspittle hacks see their only duty as printing lies and kissing boots. For all their blatherskite to the contrary, they
Well, at least the polls aren’t any worse. So must go the chatter from Labor strategists in Canberra, as Anthony Albanese blows another wad of political capital chasing far-left nostrums. At least, unlike the Voice referendum, breaking a solemn promise on Stage 3 tax cuts hasn’t been a
Now, if you or I were to run an extension cable across the footpath to run an electrical device on the nature strip, we could be absolutely sure the council would be on us, PDQ. If we were to stack jerry cans of petrol by the curb, to fill up

Is the Biden administration preparing to pull the worst betrayal of an ally by a Western nation since Czechoslovakia was dismembered and handed to the Hitler regime? In 1938, Chamberlain and Deladier cravenly sold out the Czechs in a futile attempt to mollify Hitler’s aggressive avarice. In 2024, Joe
