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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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’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
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
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
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
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
