On March 5th 2019 retiring National MP Nathan Guy, rose in the House of Parliament to ask a question of government minister Damien O’Connor: “Does he stand by his statement last year to Rural News that when it comes to increasing costs on farmers, they should—and I’ll
I am disappointed with the lack of sensible political leadership regarding the situation at Ihumatao, and even more disappointed with the media coverage of it which appears, in several quarters, to verge on advocacy for the squatters occupying the land. There is much more to this story of Maori-Pakeha and
Information Satire Things that we will never witness: An important message to my country from the Honourable Mr Underpants Bridges. Just yesterday the Leader of the Communist Party of Aotearoa called me names, saying I was a ‘Denier’ and that I represent a threat to climate policy; and he’s
It behoves me to confirm what many suspected already: Wellington’s ‘leadership’ gaggle of Trotskyites, Bolsheviks, and silly children are all officially brain-dead. This confirmation came in today’s news when announcing that previous, and suitably ridiculous, ‘optimistic’ estimates of probable sea-level rise of 60cm per century (triple the observed
Hooray! Jacinda finally achieved something that’s not a new tax or ban. She’s managed to turn a cluster of rocks into a cluster of other sorts and in doing so, given life to a whole new autonomous and diverse tribe. That tribe definitely needs a name – encompassing Maori
Information Satire I’m here to help you right-wing, nut-job, conspiracy-theory, alternative-fact, tin-hat wearing deplorables because, believe me, you need it. We at Stuff, the saviours of the entire huperson race, have declared a Climate Emergency and you people don’t appear to be taking it seriously, at all. Shame
Crikey; you can learn so much from the newspaper. I cannot understand the accelerating circulation decline of the Dominion Post. The latest ABC audit has it at an annualised rate of minus 14.2%, yet you can be so enlightened by opening its pages. You can learn, for instance, never
Information Satire My name is Weibe Wakker, and I empty the pockets of stupid people. You won’t believe how clever I am. All I have to do is claim to drive an electrically-motivated car from coal-fire generated electricity Holland to across the world, taking advantage en-route of the gas-fired
Advocates for liberty are watching New Zealand as we speak, quietly admiring the individual resistance (quite obviously on display) from members of the firearms owning community in, so far, failing to participate willingly in the confiscation of their devices. Let me say, from the outset, I have no skin in
Behold: the snake speaks! Isn’t it amazing how the creature finds a voice for Christians in perfect timing for his run at the role of prime minister? “The report highlights the shocking impunity with which discriminatory laws, fear and violence are used by state and non-state actors to discriminate
Can you hear that sound? It’s the sound of Socialist jackboots arriving with a whole army of snitches, and they’re coming for you first, Facebook user. They arrive on Tuesday. The political left has always been enamoured of informers. It’s believed the East German Stasi had a
If you sensed the ground trembling just a little yesterday; relax. It was nothing to be concerned about. It was just the combined chair, board, executive members, lawyers, sponsors and insurers of the Australian Rugby Union shaking in their collective boots. From the Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts
Information Satirical content Not an actual transcript Grant Nisbett: Welcome back folks and thank you for joining us as we prepare for kick-off to start the second half here in the big one: ‘The Year of Delivery’. Joining me in the commentary box to talk about the first-half highlights is
All prayers this morning, please direct to the unfortunate flailing reporter required to write something upbeat about the government bench ‘re-shuffle’ which achieved the admirable outcome of replacing a hand containing a pair of three’s with ditto two’s. (Don’t sneer, that’s not easy to do). Trying
Forget the distractions, and there have been plenty. Within the last two weeks this unelected governing coalition of idiots, incompetents and ideologues showed their hand; they are intent on a revolution which will drive a wedge between New Zealanders. I am not exaggerating. The first hint of the propagandising happening
I’m not fond of Brian Tamaki but rate bullies lower still, especially hypocritical bullies, and even more especially sneering, pseudo-intellectual, hypocritical bullies. Thus I was a little piqued over the caterwauling and the disingenuous ‘complaints’ about Tamaki’s now-notorious Facebook ad citing his disdain for all things Islam-ish. Good
