Election 2020
‘Crusher’ Collins Must Confront the Left Head-On
As one would probably expect, living as we do in New Zealand’s hyper-sensitive, left-wing heliosphere, negative media commentary around Judith Collins’s election to the leadership of the National Party began almost immediately. The efforts to discredit her have been varied, with some media channels seeking to downplay or
Goodbye Prime Minister
You are missed! This is the second week in a row that you’ve not fronted for your usual Monday morning slot on the AM show. Please come back. We need to farewell you properly and give you an appropriate send off. But I am getting ahead of myself. Of
Winston Needs a Miracle.
It would appear from the events of last week that it is becoming increasingly obvious that Winston and New Zealand First are quite possibly on a hiding to nothing. He is being outmanoeuvred on the right and lacks support on the left. His decision to support the left could well
You Can’t Judge a Book by Its Cover but Ardern’s Use of Clichés Is Over the Top
I was told by one of my daughters that today was the first day of the rest of my life. As that was yesterday, it is already old news as one can only assume that today becomes that day as will tomorrow, and if I make it to next Thursday,

Why Is Food So Expensive for Kiwis?

Yabba Dabba Doo
In attempting to disparage the new National Party leadership as something from the Stone Age, cartoonist Jim Hubbard actually does “Saint Judith of Papakura” (no internal bias there) great credit. The plagiarised theme is woefully unoriginal, obviously, but unintentionally accurate as Judith grimaces getting traction, taking the load of an
Things That Make Me Go Hmm
Look at who LIKED this Tweet… The Left-wing has a history of attacking others on Social media for old tweets so perhaps someone should ask Green MP Golriz Ghahraman why she appears to be supporting the vandalism of New Conservative billboards with Nazi Swastikas after the Newshub Nation incited hostility
