Maori Myths and So-Called Legends

From the Maori Party website: “It is a known fact that Maori genetic makeup is stronger than others.” This piece of invented idiocy reflects how far up the mountain of arrogance the Maori Members of Parliament have been allowed to climb. Warning Message to the Maori Party, The Labour Party,

Information Opinion Following on from Cam’s excellent piece on the subject of the broadcasting merger I would like to share my thoughts. As someone who has worked in the media (radio), I find it obvious this dreamed-up self-serving nonsense will never work in practice. The reasons why, I will

Sweet News Won’t Help PM’s Sour Cake

Claire Trevett’s article in the Weekend Herald provided an interesting headline. It read, ‘PM needs dusting of sweet news on stale cake’. The reality, which maybe Claire has yet to realise, is that the PM’s cake is not only stale but also decidedly sour. Many of her cakes,

Leaves as a Princess Returns as Queen

The death of Queen Elizabeth II, whom many thought would go on forever, got me searching for a magazine article published in This England marking her fifty years on the throne. The article gave a very good account of the week leading up to the momentous moment she learned of

Nicola Willis Lists Policy Changes

Information Opinion On Wednesday I attended a morning tea hosted by Paul Goldsmith at which the National Party’s deputy leader was the guest speaker. VERY IMPRESSIVE. Nicola, as many will be aware, is National’s finance spokesperson, so her presentation mainly concerned financial and economic matters, but other matters

Labour’s Blown Their Trust with Voters

Information Opinion If we needed further evidence of Labour’s obnoxious behaviour after Dr Sharma’s recent mind-blowing revelations we got it – from Labour themselves conniving a tax on people’s savings in KiwiSaver. This was ‘true to life’ Labour on a number of fronts: * They are hell-bent on implementing

Ardern and Labour Reach New Lows

Information Opinion A quote from Winston Churchill applies to both Gaurav Sharma and Jacinda Ardern. The first part of the quote says – “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak.” The second part says – “Courage is what it also takes to sit down and listen.” The first part

Auckland Council Can Buss Off

Do the makers of transport decisions on Auckland Council and Auckland Transport live in the real world? It would seem not. These are presumably highly paid individuals who sit at desks all day in a theoretical (make-believe) world rather than a practical (real) world. These people have power and they

Ardern Hoist by Her Own Petard

Information Opinion Both National and Labour are beset by problems relating to bullying, which brings the party leaders very much into focus. Jacinda Ardern has the bigger problem on two fronts. Firstly, Chris Luxon is dealing with a person’s shameful behaviour occurring more than two decades ago – student behaviour

Why Would Anyone Choose to Be Part of This Circus?

Information Opinion Hands up if you have done something stupid in your teenage years, something that in later years you’ve lived to regret. If that question was put to a live audience who replied honestly, there would be very few hands that wouldn’t go up. We’ve all

BFD Superior to the Ardern-Rorted MSM

On August 8th Cam wrote an article entitled $137.5m to  Get 36 Million Page Views. As Cam pointed out, that sounds impressive but The BFD got 33 million on their own last year. And the mind-blowing difference is, the mainstream media (MSM) got theirs at the taxpayers’ expense from

National Hits a Home Run

National’s policy of Welfare That Works announced by Christopher Luxon at the Party Conference has all the hallmarks of a well-thought-out approach. The initial reaction is mainly positive. It is certainly preferable to the current policy of doing nothing. Doing nothing is something which has manifested itself in all

Ha! Ha! Ha! I Told You So!

In my article entitled ‘Next Election Don’t Cut Off Your Nose’ I said that I defy anyone to give me the name of a current politician, or someone thinking of putting their name forward, who would make a perfect leader. There isn’t one. My article received 81 comments

Next Election Don’t Cut Off Your Nose

My last article, as I hoped it would, generated some healthy discussion. It was good to see a range of opinions. There were, predictably, comments from those who are unwilling to give their vote to National purely on the basis of its leader. At the risk of causing angst, I

National Set for Huge Win in 2023

I am going to start with a premise, one most of us here I think can agree upon. The premise is this: the centre-right will win next year’s election because Labour will lose it. I use the premise not just as something we can hopefully agree upon but to
