Jacinda Ardern chooses her media moments for maximum coverage. She hit a home run nationally and internationally after Christchurch, but wants nothing whatsoever to do with the Labour
The prime minister would not say whether the individual at the centre of the inquiry had been stood down from his role in the Labour Party, but that “the person referenced in the article has not been on the precinct … for roughly five weeks now and will not be on
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” In other words, if you get tricked by someone once it means they’re an a**ehole. But if you get tricked twice it means you’re a sucker. This handy saying came back to me amid the
Helen Clark says that ex-criminals should be allowed to sell cannabis. What a stunning idea. After all, we did legalise prostitution so that the government could become a pimp and tax their earnings. What else could we apply this novel idea to I wonder? * Ex-bigamists should be allowed
Labour’s disgraceful handling of complaints about sexual abuse among its staff and volunteers are now finally being picked up by the mainstream media and not before time. Andrea Vance and Alison Mau, both of whom can rightfully be considered to be supporters of this current government, have banded together

In case you thought you were having a bad day, think of these poor souls… The Swedish ship M / S Malmö with 16 climate activists on board is trapped in the ice at Spitsbergen. This as reported in the Norwegian newspaper Nordlys . The news raises hilarity among critics of climate
Has a dose of reality hit the Herald editors, or was it simply that something slipped through on a quiet Saturday when no one was looking? Fancy the MSM in New Zealand actually telling some real facts about JAG’s favourite obsession, electric vehicles (EVs). An article by Troy Bowker
Tim Beveridge speaks with dairy farmer Mike on Newstalk ZB at 4:30am on Saturday 7th September Tim: What… what’s Fonterra’s deal with all this then? Because they seem to be… cosying up to the government… Mike: (Sighs) Tim: …but is this a political exercise in virtue signalling
The Green party can only blame themselves for selecting an activist as co-leader. Marama Davidson has divided the party with her radical views, many of which have nothing whatsoever to do with what is supposed to be an environmental party. If I was unkind I would say that she
Thank goodness Jacinda Ardern spares us the use of the title of “comrade” heard too often in her youthful address to communist socialist youth rallies. But unfortunately she’s swapped out this word for another one. She overuses the title “Minister”. It’s Minister Little, Minister Twyford and Minister Woods,

When my better half watched a documentary on solar flare, which is a sudden unpredictable flash of increased brightness on the sun, we talked about the possible correlation between the sun’s variability and global warming. It just makes sense. We are curious people but not scientists, and Wikipedia says
The NZ Greens have shown themselves to be the most intolerant party in NZ, and I do not say that lightly. They claim to be tolerant and to support diversity, but within their ranks they ruthlessly purge their party of anyone who dares to express a non-party-sanctioned opinion.
Radio NZ Morning Report Corin: Well the National party says the government has broken its promise by scrapping its KiwiBuild targets. Yesterday the new minister, Megan Woods, ditched the target of building 100,000 homes over ten years saying “the pressure of meeting that target is partly to blame for
