Rules Are For Thee, Not For Me

Rules Are For Thee, Not For Me

The Prime Minister locked down Auckland for a second time and refuses to reduce Auckland’s default setting of Level 2.5. Apparently we have a tricky virus that could flare up again. She also told all Aucklanders that if we moved about the country then we should behave as

National’s Tax Policy

We cannot tax our way into prosperity. With the economic indicators of the last few days showing that we are in a deep recession and that unemployment is going to rise and remain with us for seven years, we need a government with a plan to grow the economy. Labour’

Face of the Day

Face of the Day

Hey Labour Party, it’s probably not a good idea to put a candidate in a white top with blonde hair onto a white billboard, or did you only want Jacinda Ardern to be visible? I would call today’s face of the day a “Ghost candidate”….spooky. Vote for

Ardern’s Rhetoric Versus Her Delivery

Ardern’s Rhetoric Versus Her Delivery

For the next few days, I will remind the Prime Minister that we have long memories. It is only when you explore her hyperbole that you realise how much of her rhetoric was outright posturing rather than delivery. I will expose three examples a day. There is a huge volume

Brilliant From Shane Reti

Brilliant From Shane Reti

Dr Shane Reti, in my view, is turning out to be one of National’s greatest assets. Anyone who doesn’t vote for his health policy obviously doesn’t rate health as a major concern. Reti has proven he is a thinker and has the qualifications to match. Here is

We Are Officially in Recession

We Are Officially in Recession

PREFU and the June quarter GDP numbers have been announced this week. Yes, we all knew the numbers were going to be bad. But how bad? Well, the answer is very bad, yet the media, on both occasions, has played it down, saying (quoting the politicians) that things are ‘not

A “Very, Very Deadly” Virus

Editorial Note: The death toll is now 25 Our Coalition Government hasn’t got a lot to choose from when it comes to appointing some of them to Ministerial positions. The situation has been made even worse by some of the original selections having to be fired for sundry reasons.

Ardern’s COVID Rules Are a Joke

Jacinda Ardern needs to get with the implementation of her rules. She does her pathetic little stand up every afternoon, making the Guinness Book of Records for the most facial contortions in half an hour, while using COVID as an electioneering platform. She gets out her little red book of

Broadcasting Complaint Upheld Against Mike Hosking

Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com The above is a New Zealand Herald website heading. It’s extraordinary given it pertains to their own columnist and is totally inaccurate. In fact the complaint quite rightly was not upheld as the subsequent article made clear. This is yet another typical newspaper sub-
