Simon Upton Talks All Things Green
How refreshing, heartening even, to read this speech from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment of all people. It’s full of commonsense and realism.

Get Rid of the Māori Seats
Democracy is one thing. Using it for vile purposes is quite another.
The Left and Media Need to Change
Evil forces are at work and have been for decades. These forces are largely led by the political left. They take the form of so-called progressive policies that are aimed at destroying society as we know it. Their aim is to cause divisiveness and unrest among the population at large.
Takes From the Latest Curia Poll
The latest Taxpayers Union Curia Poll makes for good reading if you come from the centre-right. National and New Zealand First made gains (two per cent and 1.7 per cent) while ACT stayed pretty much unchanged. The party to suffer most on the left was Labour (down 3.5
UK Labour Not so Popular as They Think
The results of the UK election last Thursday threw up some interesting propositions. Sky News Australia provided, largely through Sky News UK, complete coverage of the results and associated commentary. Their own Laura Jayes, a journalist of a higher calibre than anyone we have to offer, complemented their coverage at
Paddy Throws One on Matters of Race
Joseph Los’e, the Herald’s Kaupapa Maori editor, had an article in Monday’s Herald featuring Paddy Gower and his thoughts on matters of race. Evidently the problems concerning race are, by and large, caused by old white men. There are a number of points Gower made that I,
It Is a Win for Trump, 2024
There are a number of reasons this prediction can confidently be made at this point in time. First, there is now no scenario in which Trump can be beaten, under Democratic Party rules and various state laws. That is before one considers the huge lead Trump holds over Biden in
We Need to Perform Better
My headline is in essence the rallying cry from Bruce Cotterill in the Weekend Herald. He headed his article “Priorities, People, Priorities”. I have written a number of articles commenting on Bruce’s contributions, because he invariably hits the nail on the head. His subject matter is always timely, honest
I for iPhones – I for Intelligence
I enjoyed reading Steven Joyce’s article in the Weekend Herald, outlining the choice this country faces. His headline “Progress v Protest: The choice is ours” reflected the protests of the weekend before last and commented on the irony of the protest. The participants no doubt possessed many iPhones but
Jones Calls a Spade a Spade and Wants to Use It
If there’s one politician in the current parliament who stands out as not being afraid to speak out against the woke and ideological left it is Shane Jones. Here is a man who takes no prisoners. What he does take is a pragmatic approach to what he sees as
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
