The Big Story of the National Party Conference
The mainstream media have missed the big story of the National Party conference. Simon Bridges’ ally Glenda Hughes was voted off the board. This is a huge loss for National. Hughes was the one board member ready to advocate challenging sitting MPs, and getting rid of underperformers or problems. She
Policing with the Community: ‘Always Blow on the Pie’
“The ability of the Police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions.” Policing by Consent is in meltdown. The Peelian Principle #2 detailed above from Sir Robert Peel is a core factor in how we used to police New Zealand. If you don’t believe
A Con Government
by John There is every reason to believe this is a CON government. We are being conned on so many fronts it’s ridiculous. In all major policy areas, the pictures are quite different from the ones painted by the ministers. FINANCE Grant Robertson would have us believe that we
Ardern Still in Training
By John Two good articles have appeared this week: Fran O’Sullivan in the Weekend Herald criticising the leader of the Labour party and Matthew Hooton doing the same to the leader of the National party. Neither could be termed complimentary. Far from it. Let’s look at Fran’s.
Global Warming Not a Priority for Green Voters
By George We are all aware of Stuff’s evangelistic global warming crusade where some weird individuals, who quite frankly are of little or no significance, actually believe they are celestial demigods when it comes to predicting the future of global warming. The first thing that struck me was that,
NZ Gun Law ‘Loophole’ Explained
By Craig M Newshub has uncovered a loophole in the Government’s gun ban which means previously restricted firearms are now available to hundreds of thousands more people. […] The Hammerli .22 calibre semi-automatic holding a 20-round magazine is illegal in New Zealand. However, a Hammerli .22 calibre semi-
Question of the Day for Firearms Licence Holders
I am peeved, as are many other firearms licence holders, by the way the government has passed a firearms law for “compulsory confiscation” with possibly inadequate compensation. When I was involved in public protests from Wellington Railway Station to Parliament grounds for both the “Fart Tax” and “Public Access” or
NZ Street Preacher Threatened with Arrest for Quoting Bible Verses
By LesleyNZ The video below popped up in my FB Messenger. It happened in Whangarei recently. Grant Edwards from NZ Street Preachers calls a spade a spade, mentions sin, sinners, different sins and Hell; and he mentioned different religions, saying that Mohammed was a paedophile and associating the Catholic Church
A Transparent and Shameless Collaboration
By Nathanael In response to a National party attack advertisement that targeted Government policy (which the National party had to pay to have disseminated), the Green party launched an online attack ad that targeted Simon Bridges personally. Green party members then, righteous beings that they are, declared that they were
A Response to Trotter’s Article on Winston
By John The piece from Chris Trotter on Incite Politics, It’s Winston ‘The Tool Man’ Peters was an interesting but somewhat confusing read. I got the logic of where he was coming from but in my view, the narrative was not supportive of it in terms of the reality.
The PM’s Speech in Melbourne was an Utter Joke
By NeedToBeAnnonymous I read Jacinda’s Melbourne speech transcript and it was an utter joke. She should resign from her job. That’s how bad it was. She was supposed to talk about good governance but instead spoke about good government. I had given her some credit, assuming that she’
Ron Mark Plays the Blame Game
By Rantykiwi Ron Mark is busily duck-shoving and deflecting blame for the 757 breakdown whilst utterly failing to address the elephant in the room. He should be asking what our PM was doing using a RNZAF plane in the first place. Defence Minister Ron Mark says the New Zealand
The Future is in Good Hands
By Beth Houlbrooke ACT Deputy Leader / Vice President This week the Youth Parliament sat and it was encouraging to see and hear a number of young people speak on Freedom of Speech. Ali Gammeter and Gabriel Tagi have strong futures as community leaders ahead of them if their speeches are
The Most Fraudulent Government I Can Remember
By John I enjoyed reading Matthew Hooton’s article posted by Christie. Like Christie always does, Matthew nails it. Personally, I would go so far as to say that this would have to be the most fraudulent government I can remember, and I can remember back to Arnold Nordmeyer’s
Mother versus Father
By George You know, the more I watch Trump the “politician”, the more I understand why socialists are freaking out. Also, it clarifies for me why Ardern is so popular here. Politics is not about economies, intelligence or ideology, it’s about charisma and leadership. Their message is either “left”
