As I wrote recently, the NZ media greedily snatched the PIJF funding like the cheap whores they are, even though they would have happily put out for Labor for free. “Like the political nymphomaniac hookers they are, they just love doing it anyway: getting paid was a bonus.” And the

It was Paul Keating who said, “When you change the government, you change the country”. For once, he was right. And uncharacteristically honest, for a politician, in contrast to the obvious lies of the likes of Kevin Rudd and Anthony Albanese, who promised “safe, minimal change” — and immediately proceeded to
Well, that’s the year pretty much done, and I’m pretty much done with it too. It’s been pretty tough and also pretty exhilarating. On the political front the year began with the tyrant discovering enough self-awareness to realise she was no longer the country’s saviour, rather

No wonder Bruce Lehrmann was grinning from ear to ear outside court. His defamation case against Channel Ten and Lisa Wilkinson is on a roll. Lehrmann is sueing the broadcaster and the journalist for defamation, over The Project’s scoop interview with former Canberra staffer Brittany Higgins, who claims she
My, my — what a difference an election or two can make. Last year, it was Australia leading New Zealand on regional defence, with Jacinda Ardern and Nanaia Mahuta undercutting our countries’ traditional allies at every step. Now, it’s New Zealand stepping up to the plate, and Australia taking the
Weather forecasting is a famously inexact science, yet we’re supposed to believe that an agency which has repeatedly failed Australians when it comes to devastating weather events is nonetheless able to accurately predict the global climate one hundred years hence. To be fair, to an extent climate is easier

Influences at work during Covid twisted our thinking using irrational fear and withholding solutions that might have alleviated those fears; in the process revealing the absence of three big-ticket political items: genuine political opposition, a properly functioning fourth estate and academic institutions exhibiting fair and open debate. The pursuit of
It is ironic that Labour’s colours are red, the same colour as the sea of red ink in the Government’s books left by arguably the worst Finance Minister in New Zealand’s history, Grant Robertson. Grant Robertson should be ashamed. The books are in much worse shape than

The parliamentary summer break surely couldn’t have come soon enough for Anthony Albanese. The last months of 2023 have been a constant bludgeon for the Australian PM. The discontent that simmered for most of the year over spiralling cost-of-living, driven largely by both “Net Zero” and a tsunami of
