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
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
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
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
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
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
With Monday’s announcement on moving to level three next Tuesday the adding of an extra week to level four shows complete ignorance of how business operates, the overheads involved, staff costs, compliance costs and the slim margins they operate on. As Bob Jones has pointed out in his last
It is becoming increasingly apparent that we have in this country a Government that lacks the transparency our “Dear Leader” Jacinda Ardern likes to bang on about. For whatever reasons, and I can think of a few, we, her supposed faithful and loving subjects, are not being given the full
I subscribe to a blogger by the name of Bill Bonner. He writes daily on financial matters mostly pertinent to America. His latest article is headed – A Nation of Poltroons. The word poltroon was used as a common insult in the nineteenth century and its meaning is an utter coward.
Before I start, I want to record that I had the misfortune to be too near the television on Tuesday afternoon and heard the “Duchess of Ardern” Jacinda Ardern, royally, for the umpteenth time, spout the lie of going hard and going early. I can cope with hearing a mistruth
The Coronavirus has put the spotlight on three people in high places who are not up to carrying out the tasks their positions demand. Two are attached to political institutions and one is a Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has a goal of also being a member of one of
Okay, unlike the PM, I’m going to be honest. I’ve had a guts full. I’ve had a guts full of this lockdown. I’ve had a guts full of the individual who currently inhabits Premier House. I’ve had a guts full of being dictated to. I’
