This Government Will Crash and Burn

The longevity of the current government has nothing to do with the Nats’ rearranging their chairs on the Titanic or the suppression of our rights after Christchurch and during Covid. The CoL’s demise will happen when the failing economy inevitably hits rock bottom. Gratitude to the prime minister for

Yesterday’s MSM headlines were enough to bring tears to your eyes. They revealed terrible ongoing job losses while one headline trumpeted that New Zealanders are really happy with the PM that caused them. Every day more and more jobs are going to disappear. How long will people keep thinking

Legally Businesses DO NOT Have to Contact Trace
