In case you’ve not seen it, yesterday Stuff “broke” the story that Brenton Tarrant was given a firearms licence without going through the required vetting – a breach of the Police’s own policy. The March 15 terrorist was wrongly granted a firearms licence due to a string of police
Andrew Little appears to have an affinity with things dark. First, it was a mine where he finally saw the light and gave up on the ridiculous hope of bringing out the dead. Now he is focusing on life and involving himself in the Black Lives Matter perversity as Minister
As I wrote recently, the cost of widespread innumeracy is deadly. When people are so ignorant of basic statistical reasoning that their worldview is at 180° to reality, people get hurt. David Dorn and many others were killed in riots sparked by complete and utter lies. The astounding denialism of
The National Party seems intent on ceding as much ground to their opponents as possible. They are marching back from their previous positions faster than a French Army. The latest retreat is abandoning National’s credentials on crime: National is distancing itself from its controversial Strike Force Raptor proposal, saying

Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com The Herald reports a doubling of brawling and assaults in our women’s prisons in the past year. Corrections attributed this to those inmates’ gang affiliations. What a surprise! Reading that brought back memories of my involvement with Arohata Women’s Prison four decades back.
Minneapolis has been brewing this storm-in-a-teacup story of racist police long before George Floyd was murdered. Nine of the eleven councillors were primed and ready to outvote Minneapolis’s mayor, Jacob Frey, who would not commit to abolishing the police at a demonstration last Saturday where protesters shouted, “Go home,
With so many of the blocks already stacked in this wannabe socialist utopia of ours, according to one particular wag at that regular fountain of meandering philosophical inquiry, the local watering hole, we as a country may as well go all-in Stalin-esque and have ourselves a ‘Show Trial’ of sorts.
Dr. Lance O’Sullivan used to be an up and coming star, not only in the medical world, but in the political world too. He was being considered as a potential leader of the Maori Party. He even had discussions with Act and possibly National but really liked The Opportunities
Dave Pellowe davepellowe.com George Floyd is dead, and that is an unmitigated tragedy all by itself before anything else happened. All four officers involved were sacked immediately pending investigation, and the alleged murderer was eventually arrested and charged with murder and manslaughter. It’s expected the others will face
The chickens of the Australian left’s disastrous experiments with open borders just keep coming home to roost. An Iraqi asylum seeker has been jailed for at least two-and-a-half years after he kidnapped and assaulted a three-year-old girl at a Sydney shopping centre a week before Christmas in 2016. Mohammad
“Let the punishment fit the crime,” so the saying goes. In which case, you would be forgiven for thinking that planning to murder hundreds of people would surely merit a stiffer sentence than defrauding taxpayers. Think again. Ali Khalif Shire Ali was determined to fire a machine gun into thousands
In a recent high-profile case, a former prison guard spent months behind bars for a rape which never happened. Now, taxpayers have forked out $10,000 for sexual abuse which multiple judges have ruled never happened. Taxpayers have paid out $10,000 to a girl as compensation for being a
It’s been said that the pop-culture image of the “criminal genius” is a myth. Because, if they really were geniuses, they’d make money legitimately. In fact, that very idea became a running gag in the Austin Powers movies, with henchman Number 2 trying to explain to Dr. Evil
