Students who organised school climate action are now planning a general strike that will last an entire week! Now it is getting ridiculous. Where are the parents in all this? I would be reading my children the riot act and telling them that they can protest on their own time,
Rushed law is bad law and yesterday just how bad the rushed New Zealand gun legislation actually was has been revealed in an article on Newsie. In the days following the Christchurch terror attacks, politicians rushing to pass new laws mistakenly agreed to ban magazines for all firearms. Could this
A very interesting discussion. (The interview runs for an hour.) While the first part discusses the fake dossier, AG Barr etc, the middle to end discusses political aspects of conservatism and liberal philosophy. Many of the ideas discussed have direct parallels to what we see in NZ. There is a
David Seymour and the ACT party are currently grabbing the headlines with a new look, new policies and a meaty issue that resonates with the public: freedom of speech. This one issue has the potential to get the party over the 5% hurdle, because there is a significant bloc of

If I told you that the Ministry for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables was supporting a law that restricted each Kiwi family to only two pieces of fruit and one vegetable a week would you scratch your head? What about if I told you that a group that had been formed
‘Bro-zzie’ Matthew Tukaki has slammed David Seymour for defending freedom of speech calling his views ” irrelevant”. Tukaki has an impressive Australian resume and was nominated in 2016 for Australian of the year but, as executive director of the Maori Council, he clearly still considers himself a spokesperson for Maori on
There is currently only one party in parliament fighting to defend our free speech, and that is the ACT party. If National do not stand up and back most of the ACT party’s bill, I will wash my hands of them in complete disgust. “A new member’s bill
We have written about the disgusting deep-rooted anti-semitism inside the Labour party in Britain. We have highlighted the fact that the NZ Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt failed to condemn the anti-Semitism of UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, despite the commission’s commitment to fighting bigotry. Now, shockingly, Immigration
The Auckland council has declared a climate emergency, but I am sure that the ratepayers of Titirangi would much prefer that they paid attention to the core services such as rubbish and sewage, given that they are currently enduring a plague of rats! To be fair though, rubbish does not
ACT Leader David Seymour has called for Jacinda Ardern to “come clean on the murky details of the lobbyist who once worked as her chief of staff” “Jacinda Ardern told ACT in answers to written parliamentary questions that GJ Thompson took a leave of absence from his roles as a
