But no, it seems that whoever runs Queenstown’s Lakes District Hospital cares not one jot about the accuracy of information. Whether
Last week, Jacinda Ardern and her Labour Party re-instigated masking rules for years 8 to 12 in New Zealand schools.

On Thursday,
Warning Long read: 1546 Hot on the heels of two recent visits to the Queenstown Lakes area, our Remarkably Socialist Leader Jacinda Ardern has found another excuse to waste taxpayers’ money. Only a few short weeks after showing up on a snowless Coronet Peak to trumpet how amazing it was
Warning Long read: 1851 words Information Humour They say that Nobody Ever Expects the Spanish Inquisition, and that may well be so but surely by now our beloved Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern must be starting to realise that You Should ALWAYS Expect the Queenstown Inquisition! Following on from our (jolly
We all know that the Ardern government has been making everything up as they go along for the last four years. This week’s changing of traffic light settings to Orange, which isn’t the same as the old Orange, is a case in point, but other unheralded changes are
On the 23rd of March 2022, New Zealand’s Tyrant Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern addressed the nation via her usual ‘Podium of Truth’: a propaganda vessel that she has been happy to captain since she announced the initial responses to the unfolding Covid ‘pandemic‘ back in early 2020. At this

Ex-MPs Peters and Hide have come out over the last few days to show their support for the Freedom Convoy 2022 protesters, joining ongoing support from Ex-MP Matt King of Northland. Matt has been opposing the mandates, draconian rules etc. for a while but I find it interesting that Hide
Another instalment for the ‘How dumb are people?’ file. Mrs PFC and Daughter PFC are ‘Horsey Girls’. They are in a club where they get together and do horsey stuff every now and again. On Sunday they were having a ‘Have a go day’ where you and your kids come
Information Opinion David ‘Tainted‘ Fisher, hack journalist for ‘A Newspaper‘ and all around (allegedly) duplicitous scumbag, has been paid (presumably) to write a piece for his employer where he waxes lyrical about the probability (he wishes?) that there will be a domestic terrorist attack in our fair land some time
