In my previous article, I outlined how the Prime Minister got us into the COVID crisis by largely manufacturing it. Having successfully got us into it she now has to get us successfully out of it. Like wrapping the fish and chips this will be beyond her capabilities. In fact,
What is now becoming apparent is what many of us have believed all along: that compared to most other countries we have not experienced a COVID crisis. The extent to which we have had something of a problem can be laid squarely at the door of the Prime Minister. It
Prior to the ill-considered donation of $50 million dollars of taxpayers’ money to an already compliant media, there was the occasional lightweight criticism from journalists of the worst Government in a lifetime. Since receiving the gratuity, whether because of instructions from on high or not, there appears to be very
Memo to Jacinda. Wakey wakey dearie. The bubble has burst. The country has moved on. Virtually nobody is observing your silly rules. You are welcome to kid yourself that all and sundry are bowing down to your every directive but evidence shows otherwise. Perhaps you need to get out and
I made the point in an earlier article prior to Friday’s leadership challenge that my reservation with Todd Muller was his views on climate change and other matters pertaining to the environment. While I still hold that view, l have to admit to being impressed with his performance since
Two polls within days of each other and both tell a similar story. First, let’s take the simplistic view. Had National been in Government they probably would have got a similar bounce had the same numbers from the COVID-19 event occurred. Scott Morrison in Australia is currently at 63%
This country needs to grow up. We might be led by a PM who treats us like children but that doesn’t mean we all have to become children. People need to wake up to the game Ardern is playing. Every person who thinks her BS rules are necessary is
How will history judge the events of the last couple of months? Will it be judged by going hard and fast as our voluble Prime Minister and her mostly inept bunch of ministers would have us believe and therefore supposedly knocking the COVID-19 bastard off? Or will it be judged
An article in a weekend newspaper featuring Grant Robertson talking about his $50 billion dollar bill showed just how little understanding he has of what is needed to get out of the canyon he has put us in. Referring to last week’s article by Audrey Young, it was stated
Ardern and Robertson are running a circus. I leave it to you to work out who is the ringmaster and who is the clown. Ardern warned beforehand to prepare for pain. She, of course, didn’t divulge just how much. As it turned out, for obvious reasons. If I’d
Jacinda, your Government is beneath contempt. The lowest of the low. You are nothing more than a gang of bullies. You profess to care. You profess to be kind. You are fake. You are the worst Government of a lifetime. Some of your lot wouldn’t know the truth if
Audrey Young writing in the weekend newspaper headlined her article – “Ardern’s AAA team has one member – and a vital one.” Grant Robertson is the vital one and her article discusses what he has done and what he has to do. Unfortunately, Audrey misses the point – and a vital one.
The first thing Simon Bridges should do when Parliament resumes on Tuesday is to propose a vote of no confidence in this disgraceful rabble that calls itself a Government. Things have been building since the start of the lockdown and it all came to a head on Friday with the
I spent a considerable amount of time prior to writing this article searching for suitable words to describe the Prime Minister. A “piece of work” seemed the most applicable. The definition of a piece of work is a very unkind or unpleasant person, but like many bullies, not without charm.
Paul Henry currently has a programme entitled Rebuilding Paradise. He’s wasting his time. For the last six weeks, we have witnessed nothing short of the demolition of paradise. What we are seeing is the hijacking of a health event to implement a strategy which is in line with the
All has been revealed. Now we know why Jacinda went home to Mummy to get the cabbage leaves to practice wrapping fish and chips. In her very own words, not letting her ego get in the way, on Monday afternoon with her now-defunct Woman’s Weekly cover smile, she announced
