Right To Silence Must Not Be Undermined

It has been rather disturbing to see National and ACT promise to remove the right to silence in cases of child abuse. Yes, this particular case in the news is horrible, as all child abuse cases are, but hard cases make for terrible law. National and ACT are both jumping

The ONLY Change to Report

There were two new polls this month, the first for this election year. The important thing is that neither differed much from around three months ago, and they don’t even differ much from each other. We’re talking about ‘swings’ that add up to not much over the margin

The board of Red Radio announced they were killing off Concert FM, the classical music radio station that supports musicians and orchestras up and down the country. Outrage was heard.

When I first saw the New Conservative launch in 2018, I panned the idea. “The new conservatives are just as boring as the old” was my response. I didn’t expect to hear much of them ever again, but then something unexpected happened. I got a message from deputy leader

To save being asked in the comments, I may as well start this post with an update on my own situation. As my story travelled the globe, I turned my phone off on Saturday evening and took my family to church on Sunday. This week I’ve focused on my

Another 13,000 Babies Will Be Murdered This Year

Right Minds Laura Klassen, who made the seven anti-abortion videos that Family First publicised several months ago, posted a retrospective on Facebook on how 2019 changed the way she viewed abortion.
