Little Emperors With No Clothes
When I wrote, in the early days of the Chinese virus, that “the real sheeple are the panic-stricken lemmings of the elite”, I argued that the common folk were keeping calm and carrying on, while the elite were losing their minds. I naturally felt a bit foolish when, just

Rain at Last

It’s Always About Them
For an activist, a problem solved is an existential crisis. If feminists were forced to admit that our society not only has long had gender equality but in fact favours women in almost every aspect, they would be out of a job. So, instead of just admitting that the battle

Yes, Michelle Boag Really Did Say That
Rachel Smalley finally has the monkey off her back. She can no longer be considered to be the stupidest woman on the radio. Rachel Smalley used to tell anyone in the NewstalkZB newsroom who would care to listen that she was the only “serious journalist” in the place. Yet she
NZ First News
NZ First On the 25th of March at 11.59 p.m, New Zealand went into lockdown under alert level 4 until at least the 22nd of April. A decision about what happens next will be made on the 20th, but this week we saw what life may look like
It’s The Economy, Stupid…
I neither support nor condemn the government’s decision to put the country into lockdown to reduce the ravages of COVID-19. There are arguments both ways; either we sacrifice the lives of older and infirm people for the sake of a healthy economy, or we do everything we can

Six Questions for Neil Ferguson
UK television and radio media are just as left-wing as they are in New Zealand. The Spectator highlights two interviews, each carried out very differently, on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. Health Secretary Matt Hancock, of the Conservative party, got a roasting – as one would expect. The National
