Teachers Must Get Back in the Classroom
As the left and media wage war against this government and parents and students lose faith.

The Kids Need to Memorize Tables, Basic Facts and Spelling
Do NZ’s appalling attendance rates reflect parents’ rejection of race-mandated education?
It Is Not Words That Are ‘Unsafe’
A lesson (for Ardern and Victoria University students): actions, not words, can be ‘dangerous’. The ‘inappropriate’ (quote unquote Gerry Brownlee) actions of Julie Anne Genter when she accosted mild-mannered National minister Matt Doocey in Parliament this week waving a booklet in his face, demonstrated it is actions not words that
If the MSM Don’t Report on It Did It Still Happen?
NZ media, still soldiering on as Labour’s propaganda machine, lived up to its name following Pene Henare’s unfortunate outburst at Waitangi: largely ignoring it. He said: When you take off your jacket, it’s to get ready for a fight. The bugle has sounded and we have heard
James Shaw’s Greatest Legacy Is Not the Carbon Zero Act
James Shaw’s greatest legacy is not the Carbon Zero Act; it’s the failed 2018 Census which showed his true character My abiding memory of James Shaw will be his eagerness to talk about what his legacy will be, whenever he got the chance. That in itself is a
Similar Journeys Reflect the Time We’re In
The left-wing media will have you believe the current National Government in New Zealand and Republican party in the US have recently made major radical moves to the right. That they are taking us back to the ’70s or even the ’50s. That is rubbish and is a deliberate narrative
Timaru Herald Ignores Rising Star’s Brilliant Debut
It’s not every day a new MP makes such a splash in the House on debut that veteran journalist Audrey Young declares his offering to be the best maiden speech she has heard in her 30 years in the business, with mutterings around the press gallery and beyond of
ACT Wants to Clarify, Not Rewrite
one headline says, “New era of Treaty politics looms”. Luxon vehemently opposed to referendum: it would be too divisive, goes the writer’s fearful narrative. This hot-potato issue has apparently been holding up negotiations for the new government. It is this and other emotive social issues, that NZ First campaigned
Ardern Misled Us after the Christchurch Massacre
There is a saying, “The devil is in the detail”, and so it is with the email sent to Jacinda Ardern’s office prior to the Christchurch massacre. In her first statement following the massacre, the queen of spin misled us (lied) and the information that she withheld we only
Labour’s Chickens Home to Roost
Coercion to achieve ‘equity’ has failed. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s a duck, or in Labour’s case, it’s a separatist agenda. I reference Labour’s two-tiered system of governance based on race. It is something the country at large was
New Zealand Prefers a Right-Wing Threesome to a Left One
No, let’s (not) talk about sex, baby (as sung by Salt-N-Pepa). Let’s talk about cosy three-party coalition deals after the 14 October election. And Mr Luxon better take heed of what the polls are revealing. I was not surprised by one, largely overlooked, aspect of the polling for
Media Averted Gaze for Six Years
When Amanda Luxon gets gifted thousands in public money in 2024 to create a reality TV show which will be shown on NZ’s taxpayer-funded TV in prime time, the media will avert their gaze and pretend there is “nothing to see here”: like they did when Clarke Gayford was
How to Alienate Your Voters
Fear has been instilled in parts of New Zealand’s female population by the activist left’s ludicrous insistence that trans-women are ‘actual’ women and should have access to women’s public facilities, with the media jeering and laughing at their fears and the traditional, factual interpretation of “women’s”
What the Media Are Not Telling You
Had the star of the story been the Labour prime minister the real story behind the Tesla (non) story would have been immediately up in headlines on all media outlets. Sadly that was not to be, as coverage of Christopher Luxon is strictly controlled and sanitised; whenever possible, negative, humiliating
Tamihere Should Be Investigated like Sturgeon
If the Maori Party were kingmaker, would the result be legitimate? Revelations early in May 2023 in the NZ Herald that “the social services charity Waipareira Trust had agreed with Charities Services to cease making political donations and take steps to claw back $385,000 of interest-free loans made to
Luxon Not Dancing to the Government’s Tune
The media’s bullying of National (and Wayne Brown) is becoming a little predictable, like Stuff‘s Glenn McConnell or the Herald‘s Simon Wilson who use storytelling artistic licence to sell the government’s narrative and misrepresent National and the Mayor. The media’s current fixation is bilingual road
