A Response to David Parker’s Facebook Speech

Attorney-General David Parker made a speech Friday last week in response to the leaked e-mail to police and the leaked Crown Law advice to the government that revealed how little legal power the police actually had to enforce the lockdown. In it he revealed that the government have

I was reading the article by WH on Saturday about the modelling used around the world and the flaws of one particular model. That model is the one by Neil Ferguson, the world’s most wrong ‘scientist’. WH pointed out how badly flawed the model was, and I’ve also

Unimportant Facts and all that Jazz

Unimportant Facts and all that Jazz

A National Geographic article “New Zealand has ‘effectively eliminated’ coronavirus” available online 1 May had some lefties in a bit of a tizzy on twitcom. Rest assured it was a puff-piece lauding our lady leader, but what upset the cry-babies was an excellent piece of research from the

When I wrote recently about the ABC’s “fact-checker” almost admitting that a conservative prime minister was correct, I put it down to a new kid on that day, who didn’t know the iron rule of ABC “fact checks”. It turns out that I may have been wrong

Murder-Mystery: Researcher Killed Working on COVID-19 Vaccine

Better than a fictional murder mystery, the murder of researcher Bing Liu beats any Agatha Christie plot. Christie doesn’t reveal the most pertinent information about the motive for murder until the end of the book, which is both irritating and a deterrent to reading her books. In contrast to

Why Should We Take Any Notice of These Clowns?

As civil resistance (or, at the very least, social media grumbling) to COVID–19 lockdowns grows louder, the bootlicking types are scrambling to defend the Soviet-lite technocracy we’ve suddenly found ourselves living under. “Listen to the experts!” they bleat. “Trust the science!” “Science” is the great fetish of

A Piece of Work

A Piece of Work

I spent a considerable amount of time prior to writing this article searching for suitable words to describe the Prime Minister. A “piece of work” seemed the most applicable. The definition of a piece of work is a very unkind or unpleasant person, but like many bullies, not without charm.
