Yet Another Border Cock-up, but Hey, Let’s Keep Moving

Yet Another Border Cock-up, but Hey, Let’s Keep Moving

Michael Morrah, perhaps the only real journalist at Newshub, has busted the Government yet again, for lackadaisical border and quarantine processes. Jacinda Ardern has campaigned, if you can call mouthing meaningless platitudes campaigning, on how grand their plan was at the border. Yet here we are again looking at just

“Living Treasure” Spiked for Criticising “Dictator Dan”

The increasingly shrill defenders of Victorian premier Daniel Andrews are often particularly outraged by references to “Dictator Dan”. If you can criticise the premier on Facebook, they shriek, you’re not in a dictatorship! Except that, as we see, Victorians criticise the premier on Facebook at their peril. Zoe Bruhler,

Letter to the Editor: Election Considerations

Letter to the Editor: Election Considerations

Dear Editor When the Director of Health recommended that the Government go to Level 2 for 4 weeks, Ardern ignored his recommendation and went to Level 4. That is turning out to be a disastrous decision. So much for her assertion that she followed the science. That’s a straight

A COVID Election in More Ways Than One

Jacinda has called it a COVID election which means that this election in her view is all about a virus. She probably doesn’t realise it but it appears she has made it a virus election on more than one count. The word virus has a number of synonyms. One

God’s Gift to the Left

Just as a stopped clock displays the time correctly once every twelve hours, so a washed-up, silver-spooned, self-anointed, self-appointed ‘radical’ can be on the money with the occasional utterance. Thus it was with ‘Hanoi Jane’ Fonda last week: “I just think COVID is God’s gift
