New Zealanders Once Were Proud
What has happened in New Zealand to allow this denigratory sentiment to have arisen? I proceed on the confident assertion that we are not all criminals.
Culture
It’s Not Really a Big Deal, Bro

Phil Mauger Intervenes After Backlash
The reversal follows criticism from Christchurch residents, who accused the council of erasing history and ignoring public support for an official celebration. It emerged that council staff did not consult elected representatives before their decision was publicly released.

We New Zealanders need to take a ‘SICK’ break to recover from this ‘Waitangi virus’, so please join the nationwide protest by calling in ‘sick’ on 7 February each year.
Tamaki Blasts Chippy in X Post
Closing his message with a final dig at Hipkins’ tenure as prime minister, Tamaki quipped: “Because right now, your burns are about as effective as your time as PM… short-lived, ineffective and forgettable.”
My Submission on the Treaty Principles Bill
The bill will be thrown out. But the issue will not go away. David Seymour has done the nation a major favour by getting us to talk about the matter. It’s time the National and Labour parties faced up to a few realities of the culture war.
