And here we go again. Lockdowns are again being threatened by the Deputy Prime Minister. One case of Omicron crosses their leaky border and all bets were off for any thoughts of so-called freedom.

On the evening of day three of the new vaccine pass, we set out to host business clients at a local restaurant. Despite being double-jabbed for the purposes of travel and freedom (as we were promised) we were unable to dine there. Instead, we found ourselves on the outside looking
They just couldn’t help themselves, could they? The MSM wasted no time at all in calling out Chris Luxon for his Christian beliefs, his seven properties, his association with John Key and his daring to suggest that aspiration was a good thing for New Zealand. “Appearing after his appointment,
