Dear David and Judith

Dear David and Judith

Woody Greetings David and Judith I wish to address your approach to Covid-19 and more specifically your position on vaccinations and treatment for Covid-19. You along with the Labour government seem determined to push for vaccination of the populace of New Zealand as the only solution to this

Fairness for Vaccine Rollout Needed

David Seymour ACT Leader The ACT Party is calling on the Government to have a fair approach to vaccinations after it was revealed “priority access codes for Maori” are being handed out that do not require a booking. The virus doesn’t discriminate on race, so neither should the rollout.

We Are the World’s Fools

For most of the last year or so of the Covid pandemic, New Zealand and Australia have looked on the United States with smug contempt. The shoe is very much on the other foot, now. We here in the Antipodes remain under the harshest lockdowns outside of a welded-shut

We Are Now in Level Whatever

Just for now, I have had a gutsful of Covid, terrorists, Ardern, the MSM and this Labour Government in general.

Of Viruses and Carbon Emissions

How long before “lockdowns because of COVID” become “lockdowns because of climate”? Sound like a crazy conspiracy theory? Sure, it does. But then, just a couple of years ago, so did lockdowns and vaccine passports. If there’s one thing recent history should have taught us, it’s to never

As Bob Dylan once said, “For the loser now will be later to win”. The 60s are not exactly a fading memory (mainly because the Boomers just can’t shut the hell up about them), but the times they are still a-changin’. With dizzying rapidity. Last week’s pandemic
