We have now had two leaders’ debates. Before getting to the performance of the two leaders I must pay a compliment to the moderators, John Campbell and Paddy Gower, neither of whom along with Jacinda normally light my fire. But credit where credit is due. Campbell, as Mike Hosking pointed
With humble apologies to Stu P.D. Lefthard, Ardern and Labour are a joke. They sit around, not capable of having an original idea in their collective noddles, and wait for National to release a policy, then pretty much copy it. If this is their so-called strategy it’s pathetic.
I feel I must complain about the writer of a Letter to the Editor: A Complaint, a gentleman who goes by the name of Stu P.D. Leftward. Stu appears to be in something of a stew regarding my articles. He appears to be under the misapprehension that I am
It has to be said that the Greens are a weird bunch, a mix of looney man-made climate change nutters and loopy socialist activists. The one thing they have in common is the desire to tax middle and higher-income earners to the hilt. They openly admit that tax is love.
An article in the Business section of the Weekend Herald caught my eye. It was a comment piece written by Bruce Cotterill. Cotterill is a company director and an adviser to business leaders. The question he asked was – Where are leaders as NZ crumbles? That’s what really caught my
Continuing on from my previous article I will look at more of Labour’s achievement claims that fail the scrutiny test. ENVIRONMENT * Passed the landmark Zero Carbon Act, with a target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. Like COVID this is elimination playtime. In terms of our emissions, so what?
It is quite interesting to look on the Labour website at what they claim to have achieved in their policy areas versus what has actually happened. In very few cases do the claims stack up when matched with the reality. They have 190 headings on their website under achievements. This
Jacinda has a lot on her plate, most of it has her name on it and it doesn’t look too appetising. Some of it might even be going off. She looked like she might have brought some of it to the debate on Tuesday night as she looked decidedly
Jacinda Ardern has been caught out contradicting herself. During Tuesday’s interview with Mike Hosking talking about the handling of COVID she said, “Mike, if in your view there’s a perfect model here, you are welcome to that view. Mike replied, “No you are being too linear. It’s
All bias aside, there is no doubt who won the first Leaders’ Debate. Judith came across as someone who was not only there to enjoy herself but there to win. Jacinda looked the exact opposite. She looked like she would rather be somewhere else. Her personal demeanour was appalling compared
Some time ago Donald Trump mistook Jacinda Ardern for the wife of the Canadian Prime Minister. The way she’s now using COVID to orchestrate the election campaign to her advantage he could just as easily mistake her for the wife of Putin. She is blatantly attempting to steal an
What has become very apparent over the last couple of days, and it is stating the obvious, is that the Labour Party are mental degenerates when it comes to running the economy. We are in an economic slump of Grand Canyon proportions and Labour and their mates are so devoid
Having endured two COVID lockdowns I would happily enjoy another one this week — a lockdown of Maori Language Week. Why we have to endure this nonsense every year is beyond me. It is nothing more than a sham, a stupid pretence that we all supposedly care about the language when
Dr Shane Reti, in my view, is turning out to be one of National’s greatest assets. Anyone who doesn’t vote for his health policy obviously doesn’t rate health as a major concern. Reti has proven he is a thinker and has the qualifications to match. Here is
Jacinda Ardern needs to get with the implementation of her rules. She does her pathetic little stand up every afternoon, making the Guinness Book of Records for the most facial contortions in half an hour, while using COVID as an electioneering platform. She gets out her little red book of
The Prime Minister’s obsession with control in relation to COVID is making her look like the fool that she is. Often what comes out of her mouth is not the reality being experienced by many in her dream team of five million. As I have mentioned in earlier articles
