Jacinda Ardern’s slide has not only started (if the angry articles across the NZ Mainstream media are anything to go by); her own supporters are furious. Don’t take my word for it. Read the venom for yourselves: Morally obscene and just plain bad politics. The Government’s public
The government last week made two announcements that sent two completely different messages about workers’ rights. Their first announcement was a pay freeze across the public service. It was an announcement that most would expect to come from a conservative government. The only sign that it wasn’t from a
I invite you all to share something in the comments about your Mum. I’ll start the ball rolling…. My Mum is the strongest and most capable woman I know. She taught me that sacrifice is not a dirty word. I learned from her example that all the things worth
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she retains confidence in the Speaker, but has expressed “serious concerns” to him about his conduct. What a complete joke! The PM says that her concerns about Speaker Trevor Mallard are “serious”, yet she hasn’t taken them seriously at all. Her only action on
Is it possible that Martyn Bradbury was cancelled from his new Magic Talk Radio show just a few days before it was due to launch? There is certainly no mention of it on the Magic Talk website and Bradbury has been uncharacteristically silent for weeks about a show that he
A big warm Kiwi welcome to all our new BFD readers. Since our biggest ever breaking story published in January last year The BFD has gained thousands of new readers. As I type our 2020 article BREAKING: The Raids Have Begun & I Was the First; All for a .22
The actions of the Human Rights Commission and its Commissioner Paul Hunt are completely unacceptable. Instead of standing up for freedom of speech, the Human Rights Commission in 2017 sought a form of ‘hate speech’ laws for New Zealand in a submission to the United Nations. To make matters even
There is a New Zealand website that measures media bias. I thought it would be interesting to see how The BFD compares to other media, so I visited it to find out. When I first visited it in the early days of our launch I felt that we had room
‘Correlation Does Not Imply Causation‘. What does that well-known phrase actually mean and how is it relevant to the above tweet? The phrase refers to the inability to legitimately deduce a cause-and-effect relationship between two events or variables solely on the basis of an observed association or correlation between them.
In an excellent paywalled article about comedy great David McPhail he said: […] it would’ve been tough for him to satirise current prime minister Jacinda Ardern. “Up until now, she hasn’t made any mistakes and you don’t do a whole sketch show about Mother Teresa, it just doesn’
To fully understand what is happening right now you need to walk a mile in a firearms licence holder’s shoes. There are quite a few different kinds of licences in New Zealand today so the best way to bring what is happening home to those of you who do
PM Jacinda Ardern says we will know ‘hate speech’ when we see it. Whilst her government is very keen to impose hate speech laws on us it is not so keen to define what ‘hate speech’ actually is. The government’s hate speech game is therefore Russian roulette. You spin
Green MP Ricardo Menéndez March wants immigration officials to stop considering sexual exclusiveness in relationships when processing partnership visas. Newshub In layman’s terms that means that he doesn’t consider an exclusive commitment to each other to be a valid indication of a serious relationship in modern times. Believe
Strap yourselves in folks and don’t adjust your tin foil hats. David Fisher over at the NZ Herald has let his imagination run wild. According to Fisher (gasp), there is a major security threat in New Zealand. The danger is not Covid-19 or vaccinations to prevent Covid-19. No, the
It is so nice to read of a legal case where there is a fair outcome as in my experience often it is the person with the deepest pockets who wins not the person who was in the right. In this case the mother’s will was crystal clear about
Megan Woods is Nincompoop of the day for questioning whether electricity prices are too high and suggesting government intervention in the market when it was government intervention that contributed to the increase in the first place!
