There’s a meme doing the rounds of social media, with Star Trek’s Captain Kirk asking Dr McCoy when the pandemic will end. “Dammit, Jim!” snaps Bones. “I’m a doctor, not a politician!” In memo veritas, we might say: Queensland government documents show that the premier of that
David Seymour ACT Leader The Government’s announcement about New Zealand’s post-COVID future is a step in the right direction, but New Zealanders will be asking why it has taken so long. It has taken a series of damaging polls to spur the Government into action. The Government’s
Once authoritarian governments have stripped away freedoms, they rarely, if ever, give them back without a fight. Anyone who thinks that the politicians who’ve ripped away our most basic human rights – freedom of movement, freedom to work, freedom to associate, freedom of speech – over the past 18 months are
I’ve got to say, I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be quoting a Joe Mercola article. But these are strange times we live in folks, and when the times turn weird, the weird too often turn out to be right. Alex Jones – Alex Jones,
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com Australia today has the pathetic honour of being the only country in the world which currently prohibits its citizens from foreign travel (excluding visiting New Zealand during the spasmodic bubble periods) without specific permission. They’re doing this under the provisions of the 2015 Biosecurity

The government has moved from hushed whispers to out loud warnings that we will all be locked down again if there is just a single case of the much-hyped Delta variant in New Zealand: New Zealand will move into a “short, sharp” alert level 4 lockdown if the highly infectious
A famous quote attributed to Winston Churchill says that, “The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists”. Despite the almost certainty that Churchill never said it, it remains a useful quote. Too often, those decrying some evil are themselves equally guilty of it. As Churchill did say, “Nazism and
There is one clear message from the release of the Skegg report – it is imperative we vaccinate as many as people as possible, as quickly as possible, says Leader of the Opposition Judith Collins. “New Zealand is the slowest in the OECD in rolling-out the COVID-19 vaccine, and ranked only
In today’s Australian, Adam Creighton argues that Covid Derangement Syndrome, or “Covid Dumb”, creates “a shocking decline in critical faculties among intelligent people when Covid-19 is being discussed”. CDS is endemic among the political and “intellectual” elites. “Its sufferers,” says Creighton astutely, “assert and do things that are patently
The Government continues to block transparency around its response to Covid-19, National’s Covid-19 spokesperson Chris Bishop says. Government members voted against a motion to recall Dr Ashley Bloomfield to Health Select Committee so he could explain his incorrect statements over the Covid-19 infected UN worker who was transported to
New York governor Andrew Cuomo is being set up to fall by his own party. But, as I recently wrote, Cuomo is being hung out to dry for the wrong reasons. The Democrat machine is subjecting Cuomo to a show-trial on allegations of the sort of sexual shenanigans that have
