D. Zaman For quite a number of months now I have been struggling with the question of when it is time to take a stand. Without getting bogged down in the detail, I love freedom and I believe we have God-given freedoms as image-bearers of God which, to some degree,
Dear Editor I am a low key, grey man type personality who prefers to stay out of any drama. I am not an activist nor an agitator. I am ex NZ Army a long time ago and as of last year, an ex Registered Nurse. I prefer doing rather than

There comes a point at which even the most fervent Ardernista must start to wonder what is going on. That day was Friday 22 October, the start of the holiday weekend, when Jacinda Ardern dashed the hopes of all New Zealanders, except her crew of naysaying health ‘experts’: Wiles, Hendy
The Freedoms & Rights Coalition Team Well done, Jacinda. Your lasting legacy as a Prime Minister will be as the Prime Minister who divided the nation! A leader who created the most division and discrimination in all of New Zealand’s history. It’s blatantly obvious that your “Be Kind”

In the last few months, strict Covid Pass restrictions have been introduced which represent a fundamental transformation in society. In this
You will know us by our haircuts. We the Covid Untermenschen don’t need a yellow star to make us stand out. As Ardern’s second class, unclean citizens we have been denied the simple pleasures of life. Not for us the relaxing chat in the hairdressers and the boost

As BFD writer Christie recently asked, I’m double vaccinated, along with approximately 70% of other kiwis. Why are we still in lockdown? Tasmanians and Victorians might well be asking themselves the same question. Scott Morrison has confirmed that both Victoria and Tasmania hit a 70 per cent double vaccination

The announcement today of a hurdle of 90 per cent vaccination for each and every DHB in New Zealand condemns every Kiwi to months of more lockdowns and uncertainty, says Leader of the Opposition Judith Collins. Millions of New Zealanders have done the smart thing and gone out and got
The business support package announced today by the Minister of Finance comes too late for many businesses, says National’s Shadow Treasurer Andrew Bayly. We have seen no immediate action to give cash to struggling businesses now. The increase the Resurgence Support Payment is welcome, but will come too late
