I’ve tried to resist commenting on the Queen’s grandson and younger son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. After all, he’s had a rough life, being born into the royal family and all that, and his brother getting all the glory just because he’s older. Judging
There’s been much gnashing of teeth and nonsensical garbage bandied about, regarding what should happen to those amongst us who choose not to be vaccinated for Covid-19. Suggestions that they be ostracised or prevented from working are surely an extension of the ill-conceived panicked posturing and grandstanding we’ve
Being locked down means having time to do things one might normally never have the time or inclination to do. And so it was that when I received an email from a colleague that included the acronym LGBTQ, I thought, “what does that all stand for again?” So off I
I took one for the team so you wouldn’t have to. I watched Ryan Bridge interview the Prime Minister on Newshub Breakfast at about 7.45 on Tuesday morning (August 24). Covid has been a major worldwide news story since March last year. That would make it 18 months.
A significant part of the world’s population today is living with high levels of fear. Fear of death by Covid-19. Confronted by stories of hundreds of new “cases”, deaths and horrifyingly mutated variants that will eventually sneak in and get them, average people are losing the will to live.
Adelaide newspaper The Advertiser reported that the deaths included 5 under the age of 65 with the youngest being 15. The story in The Advertiser is dated July 9, 2019. It is well before the world had even heard of Covid-19, and understandably, the South Australian Government was concerned. South
First, they came for the manholes and we calmly stood back and let them do it in the interests of diversity and inclusion. What harm could there possibly be in calling a hole that might equally be used by a woman a personhole? So we let them change it even
Well-intentioned legislation to protect equal rights for all flies in the face of many very basic, simple human psychological conditions. If you genuinely believe that making a law or a rule with the stroke of a pen will change how people think and behave, you’re probably not far from
The football delivered some moments of brilliance, the usual Oscar-winning play-acting as players took dives every time someone brushed up against them and the usual defensive and boring play for hugely long periods when both sides seemed afraid to lose possession. It could be argued that there was more drama
Is the excessive amount of fake news we’re subjected to daily the result of a left-wing plot to overthrow global democracy and destabilise the world? You’d think so from some of the opinions expressed about it, but cast your mind back through history and you’ll find that
Information Satire Sex, booze, banquets, parties and other excesses in the halls of power are guaranteed to boost flagging TV ratings. Sources close to the independent production company understood to have signed the contract to produce the show, confirm that production is scheduled to begin in just weeks and will
The last election delivered the breathtakingly bizarre results of an MMP election that handed single party government to the most inept group of incompetents in the history of the country. Despite having seen them at “work” for three years. Despite not a single promise kept. Despite the promised transparency disappearing
I honestly, truly, cross my heart, wish I didn’t have to be saying this but recently I wrote about the stupidity of some National MP’s fronting up to the media and making absolute asses of themselves and the party by commenting on the Paul Goldsmith “colonization was good
In an editorial on Stuff over the weekend which Cam has already summed up from one perspective, Ms Wilson has delivered a glowing expose of her own gushing egoism. She’s right about one thing – National does need some change and good on Judith Collins for starting the much-needed cleanout
It was an unusually warm winter’s day and in the early hours of the afternoon, with the sun streaming through the windows, I abandoned the computer and my usual raft of research and the quest for knowledge and understanding of the confusing world around us. I made a fresh
