The Left Is on the Cusp of…

Disappointment, discomfort, disharmony, dishonour, despondency, despair, demoralisation, delusion – any or all of those words could apply to their present situation. They could not form a reputable and well-respected government and are increasingly mired in a mess of their own making. The alleged hijinks of the Maori Party have destroyed any

The Snakes in the Grass May Be Poisonous

New Zealand is basically a snake-free country. From time to time sea snakes arrive carried on the currents and will come ashore to lay their eggs. It is well known that there are no land snakes in the country…until maybe now. These are the ‘snakes in the grass’ of

Mister Speaker! Your Mission Should You Accept It

That well-known line is, as most will recall, from Mission Impossible. I fear that if something is not done soon to control the behaviour of the Maori Party then mission impossible will be the result. The Maori Party are lost and drowning in their own negative and increasingly violent rhetoric.

Maori Seats Need to Go Pronto

The Maori Party need to be gone from Parliament. Most Kiwis are fed up to the back teeth with their despicable behaviour. Their latest childish, illegal prank – to have Maori strike nationwide on Budget Day – is frankly the last straw from a mob who don’t give a damn about

Shane Jones Tells It Like It Is

Who would’ve thought it. Shane Jones goes to the very place where the Labour Party was founded, Blackball, and, representing a centre-right coalition government, he gets a standing ovation! This electorate is traditionally a Labour stronghold: the mighty West Coast. This should have Labour MPs faces reflecting the colour

The Left Are Showing Their True Colours

The headline above is intended to highlight their behaviour but, unsurprisingly, it all also reflects the colours of their parties. I discovered this when researching the colours of the Maori Party. I came across the relevant information on a site called ‘The Fount’. The Fount is a team of designers

Memo to Maori Activists: You Need to Face Facts

In a recent post I wrote about Christopher Luxon and his impressive speech to the Auckland Business Chamber outlining the Government’s plans, objectives and challenges. Subsequent to that speech, on the same afternoon, further challenges came to light. These were, not surprisingly, from the world of the Maori activists

The Left Want to Increase Tax While the Right Want to Cut It

The Left Want to Increase Tax While the Right Want to Cut It

Two articles in the Weekend Herald highlighted the stark difference between the left and the right when it comes to looking at tax. One article was written by Thomas Coughlan and the other by Steven Joyce. One talked about introducing a new tax; the other concerned cutting the existing ones.

Luxon Has a Vision and a Plan

On Wednesday I listened to Christopher Luxon giving a pre-Budget speech to the Auckland Business Chamber, the CEO of which is Simon Bridges. It was a speech, delivered without notes, containing a vision and a plan to implement a means whereby the goals in the vision would be achieved. The

Coughlan Spins a Web on Poll Numbers

The spurious 1News Verian Poll produced results of orgasmic heights of delight to journalists on the left. Maiki Sherman appeared briefly to swap her priceless Maori heritage for Irish as she jigged around our television screens while spouting as much blarney as she could think of. It was an infantile

The Right Swim, the Left Sink

The gulf between the government and the opposition is becoming wider by the day. The combined mental capacity of the three parties in this government far exceeds that of the three parties on the opposition benches. The left themselves are making it more obvious by both their actions and their

The ‘Pull the Other’ One Poll

It is my understanding that at 6 o’clock each night Television One presents an hour of news. Anyone tuning in at 6pm on Monday to watch would have needed to check their timepieces. The lead story on their poll was more akin to a documentary than a news item.

A Chalk and Cheese Parliament

It is becoming increasingly apparent that we are witnessing the performance of a ‘chalk and cheese’ parliament. What is on show is probably the biggest chasm in ability between a government and an opposition in our lifetime. The reason for this is we have a government of people with real-world

Simon Wilson Well Wide of the Mark

I was browsing articles on the Herald website when I came across a headline: ‘Strong Leaders’, a ‘rigged’ economy and ‘poll of doom’. The writer was none other than our old friend Simon Wilson. Because the Herald holds Simon in such high regard (goodness knows why), it was a premium

PM Needs to Don His Hard Hat

First, let me say I think overall the Prime Minister is doing a good job. He didn’t disappoint in executing his 100-day plan. He and his ministers have been getting on with the job, and publishing a plan for the next few months was a good move. I do
