Two days before Christmas, the subbie buffoon at the Australian Financial Review gave us these two pearls of incompetence.

The first about a CEO of the collapsed crypto FTX’s associated company Alameda, namely Caroline Ellison, read,

“Alameda’s Ellison pleads guilty to fraud. Faces 110 years in jail.”

Caroline is 28 years old. She does not face 110 years in jail unless she lives to 138. She faces such a sentence, which is a very different proposition.

In the same issue and probably the same sub-editor goose, another heading read, “The future is now and politics has to cope with the consequences”.

It’s impossible for the future to be now for if so, then it’s no longer the future.

The daily incompetence of the dying print media seemingly knows no bounds. Such headings would be inconceivable three decades back.

And So Failure Becomes Proof

And So Failure Becomes Proof

Ngāi Tahu in Breach of the Law?

If one party in the coalition wants voting dominance then campaign on equality for all plus getting rid of the Waitangi Tribunal and the Māori electorates. Neither serves a useful purpose and both are well past their use by dates. It has to be ACT or NZ First, preferably both.
