Last Nail in the City’s Coffin
Vera Stanton I’m an ex-pat Kiwi currently living in Hong Kong where I have been for more than a decade. I’m writing about what I see as the complete politicisation of the Covid response, to the point where it threatens the existence of Hong Kong as I have
No-One Freely Chose to Take This Vaccine
Darryl Betts darryllrbetts.wordpress.com One very simple and important thing that those who have taken the vaccine do not realize is that if you are in a situation in which a vaccine mandate is in force then you did not freely choose to be vaccinated. In this situation no-one
‘No One Marched When I Was Elected’
As we all know, Jacinda wasn’t elected in 2017. Labour got fewer votes than National but the party with 7%, led by Winston Peters, decided to form a government with Labour with the Greens in support, but not as a part of the government. If only the Greens had
Kiwis Can Fly
Rachel Tate Our world is divided Like never before The need to be right Turned this plight into war Traditional weapons we sideline in favour Of words as an art form To one-up we savour Our friends are as foes Our whanau oppose This self righteous need For agreement just
Europe’s Emerging Axis of Covidians
“The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human” Aldous Huxley Word to the wise: when an Austrian locks down millions of people, and the Germans and Italians join in, it’s not likely to end well. But, European
First Dan, Then Dom Caves
Well, it’s certainly been a tumultuous few days in Australian pandemic politics. At the start of the week, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was all-but-guaranteed to pass his pandemic bill, described by that state’s Bar Association as “a blank cheque to rule by decree”. At the same time, NSW
So Much for Our Inalienable Rights
As I noted, some months ago, the very fact that politicians can brag about “freedom incentives” proves that we are not free. When politicians openly talk of “granting limited freedoms”, it is as clear an admission as any that we are not free. In fact, politicians are tacitly admitting that
Where Is the Healthy, Open and Honest Debate?
The Freedoms & Rights Coalition Information Opinion It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that all of our politicians have coerced, pressured and manipulated a good portion of the general population into taking the Pfizer vaccine. Love it or hate it (the vaccine, that is), this type of
It’s Not Pretty outside the Echo Chamber
Darryl Betts Comparing notes with like-minded people is comforting but I worry that it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the great echo chamber encompassing the New Zealand government, mainstream media, and many of my fellow Kiwis. So I bravely journeyed into what feels very much like enemy
High Time Auckland Became a State
If there’s one thing Covid has increasingly illustrated it is how different Auckland is to the rest of the country. Without wishing to be insulting to those outside of Auckland they could probably be best described as our country cousins. This was very apparent in the current lockdown. Most
Letter to the Editor: Media Demonisation
Dear Editor So this is apparently where we are as a nation. The government and our media (Stuff) allow this kind of harmful and frankly violent demonisation of their fellow Kiwis. The article shows a complete disregard of personal choice, personal health, mental health or doctor-patient care. What you need
Don’t Panic the MoH Are in Charge
When leaving Auckland this Christmas you can be assured things will not run smoothly, or as promised, because the MoH are in charge. They earned the equivalent of a PhD in mismanagement through their extraordinarily bad handling of MIQ facilities. Southlanders are not fooled into thinking a digital vaccine certificate
Time for Vaccine Level-Headedness, All Round
Does the SARS-CoV-2 virus really primarily affect the lungs? I ask because it seems to me on the evidence that the first organ the virus targets is the brain. From the very beginning of the CCP pandemic, it seems as if most of the world has gone collectively insane. The
Disgraced MP Disrupts Dan’s Dictatorship Plan
Oh, how the worms of Victorian Labor politics turn! One moment, Dan Andrews is set to pass his pandemic dictatorship bill as a matter of utmost urgency, the next, he’s rushing to delay the final vote in parliament. All because of one of his own disgraced MPs. In a
