I have lived in the Greater Wellington region since 1984. I’ve always liked Wellington city. It is a compact city with good nightlife, theatres, restaurants, bars and cafes and generally a very good vibe. When I was younger, I used to go into the city at night quite often
If you still think that the “progressive” left aren’t trying to normalise paedophilia, you just aren’t paying attention. In the 70s and early 80s, sections of the left were openly promoting paedophilia as just the next logical step in the road to complete sexual liberation. Not just the
The viciousness of the campaign of vilification against Cardinal George Pell by Australia’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster was at times astonishing. The ABC aired uncritically the most lurid and outlandish accusations against the cardinal. Following Pell’s now-quashed conviction for child sex abuse, the ABC could barely hide its glee. When
When French schoolteacher Samuel Paty was horrifically murdered by Islamic extremists, many of the “progressive” left assumed the same gutless attitude they had already used to respond to the Charlie Hebdo terror murders: “He asked for it”. The same people who insist, hand on heart, that Islam is a “religion
ACT Party ACT Party Firearms Reform spokesperson Nicole McKee “A concerted effort involving law changes and far greater resources is needed to turn soaring levels of gun crime around,” says ACT Party Firearms Reform spokesperson Nicole McKee. “Some of the unintended consequences of the Government’s two pieces of rushed

The dangerous, illiberal witch-hunt being peddled by the left-media in their unconscionable pursuit of Attorney-General Christian Porter has been correctly labelled a threat to democracy and the most basic principles of the rule of law. But there is an even more objectionable aspect of the Press Gallery’s trial-by-media which
I feel sorry for the police on the frontline, not only do they now have to phone in to see if they are allowed to arrest someone, they now have this list of items to make a judgement call on. Did you know that the Police are no longer required
If we were to believe the hysterical claims of Western feminists, the streets of Australia are as hazardous for women as the battlefields of the Congo. The “one in four women will be raped” trope is as blatant nonsense as BLM’s fact-free hysteria over police shootings. Like BLM’s
Daniel Diefenbach mises.org Each year, billions of dollars are stolen from Americans through online scams. One popular scam is fake technical support: a pop-up appears on the computer claiming it has a virus and that one must call Microsoft tech support at some phony number to unlock the computer.
No Jail Time for Serious Offences The Government’s restorative justice programme Te Pae Oranga is taking preventing imprisonment to a new level with more serious offences sent to the Iwi Community Panel, National’s Police spokesperson Simeon Brown says. “I don’t think many New Zealanders would consider the
Now that the left have won back the White House, one way or another, surely that means that the rampaging leftist mobs, oops, “mostly peaceful protesters”, will stop peacefully smashing and looting businesses and non-violently burning whole districts.

Amidst all the palaver and virtue-signalling in the media, and the strangely contradictory cavalcade of back-slapping and pearl-clutching whining of International Women’s Day, there is one group of Australian women who go almost completely ignored by the great and good of the Lady Pages and Mummy Bloggers. While we’
When West Australian premier Mark McGowan brags about his state’s “world’s best” budget performance, the gargantuan elephant in the room is that it is almost completely funded by the Nazi Germany of the 21st century. I’m referring, of course, to Communist China. Comparing them to one of
