I never realised Alison Mau did comedy. This could explain why we find so many of her articles objectionable; she is trying to be funny, but we don’t understand the humour. This latest piece is a cracking work of comedy, however. All Alison needs now is a bit of

Duncan Garner is brutal about Jacinda Ardern’s “smiling drivel” or her pledge for Labour to be transparent and truthful with election campaigning this year. So the PM wants to be relentlessly positive in a factual campaign run by Facebook’s rules. Pass me a giant sick bag and send

Here’s Sepuloni’s take: The December quarter benefit numbers released today show the Government’s plan to get people off the benefit and into
Two days ago there were headlines all across the media that a deal was imminent for Ihumatao. The Media party were just repeating the words of an Aussie interloper masquerading as a Maori. There was no verification, no confirmation, just idle speculation. As the truck driver from Huntly took back
