The latest Free Press from the ACT Party concerns the Zero Carbon Act which the party was the only one to oppose. When it was debated in Parliament David Seymour said it was “pernicious, because it introduces a level of central control over economic-decision making that this country has
We are approximately three months into the second term of a Labour Government and already their list of non-achievements is mounting up. They are showing themselves up to be what they are, a group who are very good at doing the talking but pretty abysmal at doing the walking.
The dismissal of John Banks from his radio show due to remarks made by a caller alleging that Maori were a Stone Age people got me thinking. It got me thinking because very little emphasis is given to Maori or indeed New Zealand history before the signing of the Treaty
Michael Bassett’s article on the BFD late last week concerning Oranga Tamariki and the resignation of its CEO provided real food for thought. I am in agreement with what he has to say. The problem that needs addressing here is one that goes beyond just the children. What needs
If ever we needed any proof of the stupidity of this Government, which by the way we don’t, it was Steven Joyce’s article in last Saturday’s Weekend Herald. His article was on the subject of the housing crisis and this Government’s complete lack of ideas on
Simon, in the first part of his article in last week’s Weekend Herald, purported to be worried about Trump and his insurrectionist supporters storming the Capitol. In truth, as the left does, Simon went into a diatribe about the man and how he has basically ruined democracy. In the
Poor old Simon Wilson. He finished up 2020 telling us why he was afraid and he’s started in 2021 by still being afraid. The things he’s afraid of haven’t changed much; he’s still banging on about climate change. Well, there’s good news on that front
I am aware that we are, for some, still in the holiday season, albeit at the end of it. I make this point because I know news outlets, fake or otherwise, must find getting a requisite number of newsworthy items a tad difficult. TV One News highlighted the problem by
It was more than disappointing to see both National and ACT reverse their support for Chris Liddell’s OECD nomination. It pains me to be at odds with Judith Collins but for the life of me, I cannot see the sense in castigating a successful fellow Kiwi who is staying
Just prior to Christmas, as things were winding down, Gordon Campbell wrote an article advising Labour to hit the accelerator. As a former researcher for the Green Party, Gordon would no doubt like the accelerator hit with the vehicle rounding a succession of left-hand bends. The result of that
The moment Donald Trump was confirmed the winner of the 2016 election the hounding of him by the predominantly left-wing media commenced. For four years facts haven’t mattered to these outfits that choose to take a political stance and run with it. They’re not interested in printing
It has been interesting over the holiday break to look at the conduct of our, to some, beloved Prime Minister. It was somewhat predictable as to when she would pop her cover girl head over the parapet and to see the subject matter she would address. Also noteworthy were the
Richard Prebble’s Covid exposé “Richard Prebble: What the Government did not want you to know about its Covid response” was very revealing. It was surprising that an article on the Government’s response to the Covid crisis was actually printed by the NZ Herald. I applaud the NZ Herald
Claire Trevett, writing in the NZ Herald, has joined Audrey Young by getting into the Christmas spirit with some Bah Humbug nonsense of her own. Her reporting on the Mallard select committee hearing was about as accurate as Mallard’s answers to National Party questions. Claire dons her rose-tinted
In this last treatise on Audrey Young’s NZ Herald article, which contains possibly more Bah Humbug than you can take, she talks about Ardern and Robertson and their team. Her piece is headlined – Joined at hip, there’s no way Ardern, Robertson can possibly be separated. Audrey notes that
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant O come ye, O come ye to Wellington O come and behold her Born the Queen of Kiwis O come let us adore her… Such is Audrey’s admiration for Ardern that the Christmas carol is pretty much appropriate. Audrey says few
