Forget the Polls — the Party’s the Problem

Forget the Polls — the Party’s the Problem

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%

A Country of Compliant Children

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

Historically Heroic or Hideous?

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

A Huge Debt- but Not of Gratitude

A Huge Debt- but Not of Gratitude

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

A Barnum and Bailey Budget

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

A Government beneath Contempt

A Government beneath Contempt

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

Missing the Point – and a Vital One

Missing the Point – and a Vital One

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.

No Confidence Motion Required

No Confidence Motion Required

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

A Piece of Work

A Piece of Work

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.

Living in a Fool’s Paradise

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

I’m a Perfectionist

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

Recall and Replace

Recall and Replace

There have been a number of people in key leadership positions during the COVID-19 event who have come up well short of what we would expect in terms of job performance. Some of them have conned us, deliberately or otherwise, some have shown their true colours and some appear to

A Believe It or Not Poll

Friday’s UMR leaked poll made for more than sombre reading if you’re a supporter of the right as most of us here are. UMR is Labour’s polling company so it is very easy to dismiss it as a rogue poll or hope that somehow an element of

Electioneering in a Racist Police State

I adhered to my usual habit and didn’t bother tuning in for the daily telling off from she who thinks she must be obeyed. Instead, I turned to the local rag. As far as I’m concerned I don’t need to be lectured to by someone born some

Backlash Brewing

Backlash Brewing

Bob Jones, in a recent article on The BFD, had this to say: It’s a sorry scene ahead of us and I say again, by election-time the Jacinda lustre will be replaced by despair and anger with the obvious electoral outcome. I agree wholeheartedly. The backlash has already started.

The Not so Hidden Agenda

Dr Muriel Newman wrote an excellent article which was published on The BFD on Friday. The content contained in the article should send a chill up the spine of every person in New Zealand who believes in freedom, democracy and the rule of law. Currently, all three are being eroded
