Ardern Is a Disgrace

Ardern Is a Disgrace

Jacinda Ardern is a disgrace. She is a disgrace for managing, in just three years, to exacerbate all the problems the country was facing and starting to solve. She has failed in all the areas that she says her party stands for. She has completely failed her voter base. All

Labour Dropped the Ball…again!

What a bunch of killjoys in the Labour Party. We have now been denied the chance to hold the Rugby Championship. Of course, don’t for one moment think it was solely their doing. They have all these so-called health experts in the field of academia giving them advice. If

A Tale of Another Two Policies

A Tale of Another Two Policies

Another day (Wednesday), and two more election policies. We often moan about National being Labour lite and with good reason. However, and this is important when you think about it, it is mainly in the social areas where National tends to drift left. We must give National credit for taking

The Abject Failure of Jacinda Ardern

The Abject Failure of Jacinda Ardern

The announcement by Jacinda Ardern of a day off to celebrate Matariki of itself pretty much sums up her three years as Prime Minister. This is nothing more than a simplistic ploy to cement in votes from one of Labour’s core constituencies. I could say any simpleton could have

A Tale of Two Announcements

A Tale of Two Announcements

Monday, September 7 and what a contrast in announcements. Judith Collins in Napier says methamphetamine harm will no longer be put in the “too hard basket” in a Government under her watch. She announced the party’s plan which will tackle supplies coming into prisons, target organised crime networks, increase

While browsing on the Stuff website I came across an article by Andrea Vance. It had an intriguing headline- She’s not a doll, so don’t call the Prime Minister Cindy. Andrea commenced her article with a comparison with Margaret Thatcher which initially took me somewhat by surprise. I

The Wonkiness & Wackiness of Winston

If you look up synonyms for the words wonky or wacky in the Thesaurus it’s surprising how many you could apply to Winston in various forms. Most of them he would, in his view, probably find not very complimentary. It is fair to say that over his long parliamentary

Our Political Comedians

Jacinda, Grant, Chris, Megan and Phil, do me a favour and just naff off. I am sick to death of being told what instructions to follow on a daily basis. I wouldn’t mind quite so much if you could implement your own rules but you have shown consistently that

The Government Is the Real Cluster

The Government Is the Real Cluster

The Government’s shambolic handling of COVID from the outset proves that they are the biggest cluster of all. Starting with the late closing of the borders through to the latest misinformation about testing the Government has shown that the superintendency of the virus was, for them, a step too

A Dangerous Government

The work is being done in Phil Twyford’s office. More alarm bells are ringing. Twyford says the work is at an early stage. If that’s the case then it’s not too late to stop it. This should be done immediately. The last thing we need is the

A Bungling Blundering Government

A Bungling Blundering Government

This is a Government that is not fit for purpose. This is a Government which even the man who installed them recently said were not up to it. This is a Government whose Ministers have failed badly in virtually all of their portfolios.  This is a Government that relies on

Simon Wilson Is Devoid of Reality

What an interesting read Simon Wilson provided in the Weekend Herald. The headline was “Good luck, bad management”. The good luck he talked about was different to our understanding of it but the bad management was pretty much spot on. He talked about the border not being as secure as

This COVID Farce Must End

This COVID Farce Must End

If the Prime Minister has any political nous at all she will end this current COVID farce and let everyone get on with a normal life as many appear to be doing anyway. Phil Goff is telling us that we must stay local. If Phil liked to take a drive

Government Is Full of Blatant Blather

What is it with this Government that it appears to have such an aversion to telling the truth? We have been, for months now, subjected to a daily diet of BS from the so-called pulpit of truth otherwise known as the one o’clock electioneering broadcast. Virtually nothing that is

COVID on the Hoof

COVID on the Hoof

I listened on Tuesday to Heather du Plessis-Allan interviewing Health Minister Chris Hipkins on the testing at the border. Chris started off confidently enough but when Heather started to drill down he was at sixes and sevens. He was finding it hard to stay on message. Then we got the

Letter to the Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister, You have well and truly blown it. There is now a palpable sense of anger in the country, particularly in Auckland. You might not be aware of it, living as you do in your own little global celebrity bubble, but the silent majority of people are well
