A Turning Point Has Been Reached
The world is in a very dark place right now. If the next global conflict comes to pass, there will be a recalibration at the end of it.

Two Wings, Same Bird
They are both in the same waka and paddling furiously for Māori dominance.
2026 Election Looks Clear Cut
The upshot is Luxon will be saved, to some degree, by what the alternative is.
All Is Now Laid Bare
We are witnessing what a left-wing government will look like and the ensuing dire consequences for the country. Hipkins will simply cave or the radicals will bring him down. They won’t be there to protect Hipkins or keep him in power.
Will Luxon Bed With His Lefty Mates?
It is what Israel is having to deal with, on behalf of the Western world, that Luxon should take into account when agonising over his decision. If he were realistic about where things currently sit in the Middle East, he could spare himself the mental trauma he is putting himself through.
Oh Dear, Never Mind
In the real world of business there is no room for hurty feelings or distress. If you’re not performing, you are shown the door. No knight is coming to your rescue. You rise or fall on your ability to perform. This is 2025 and the organisation should reflect that in the way it presents itself.
No, Radio Is Not Dying
This is an untenable situation for us, the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for this outfit that appears lost in its own leftist bubble.
If the Boot Fits Wear It
Anyone who shies away from public accountability is not to be trusted. If you can’t speak to your behaviour in a public setting then you lack the courage of your convictions. That is not an honourable trait if you are in public office.
You Can’t Have One and Expect the Other
The key to it is to, as far as possible, obliterate Hamas. The war must continue until Israel finishes the job. Only then will a brighter future be possible for the Palestinian people.
National Is Not Where It Should Be
It is on the negative front where the voters emphasis is placed and the things people voted for are not happening. This is dragging the government down.
We Are Well and Truly ‘Browned’ Off
Here’s the reality for Christopher Luxon and the National party. They can bang on about the good work they are doing all they like but they will find their low poll numbers will continue. The only way they will improve is by giving their voter base what they want.
Dumb (TVNZ) and Dumber (RNZ)
Their failure to discern what their problem is tells you a lot about their overall capabilities or lack thereof.
Should We Stop Damning the Dame?
Having to spend two terms of government looking at the front of her, most were more than pleased to see the back of her.
This Country Needs Strong Leadership
This situation can largely be laid at the door of the current prime minister. Real enthusiasm is lacking. The spark, whereby the good feeling might be lit, is just not there.
Straight From the Left Playbook
The American public are being fed a dialogue that smells of a cover up. Right-wing supporters are not buying it. If there’s nothing to see here, why is Ghislaine Maxwell languishing in jail for 20 years? Something doesn’t add up.
MMP Brought About the MP
If they can’t deal with reality then they are of little use when it comes to running the country and they are more of a hindrance than a help. We don’t need their war dance theatrics and we don’t need their insults.
